This is scientific Americans 60 second science. I'm Karen Hopkins. This will just take a minute.

It's nearly game day and if you're a fan, you've already set aside your roomie of sweatpants and your own personal family-sized bag of nacho cheese daritos.

But if you're at all concerned about over-indulging, which if you live in America, you probably should be, you might

take a tip from a public health advocate at the New York City Food Policy Center.

Charles Plattkin says that one way to avoid overdoing it is to consider how much you'd have to exercise

to work off what you consume.

So to prepare for Super Bowl Sunday, the second biggest day for food consumption in the U. Plot can crunch the numbers for some of our favorite

couchside snacks. And he's helpfully converted them into football themed exercise equivalence. So for example, two slices of Domino's ultimate pepperoni

hand-tossed crust pizza would require running nearly 11,000 yards, that's

109 football fields at a speed of 5 miles per hour.

Two KFC original drumsticks, just do the wave 1,561 times.

To pay for a single potato chip loaded with French onion dip you'd have to sing along with

cold play and Beyoncé for 30 minutes during halftime.

And even five pretzels.

Yes, five puny little pretzels out of a bag would take six and a half minutes of

jumping up and down whenever your team scores a touchdown, which means that if you want to avoid

post-Bol paunch, your team better bring it. Either that or just stick with the

celery sticks. And pass on the dip, if you want to maintain the current size of your

end zone.

Thanks for the minute. For Scientific Americans 60 Second Science, I'm
