Super Bowl Sunday is just around the corner. The biggest game of the season is upon us. So it seemed appropriate to unveil the most important story I'll write all year ... Super Bowl snack rankings. This, friends, is a piece that I forget about until the week of the big game, and yet simultaneously demands some of my best efforts of the season. People take their Super Bowl Sunday snacks seriously. And so I must return the dedication.That's especially true this year, when your performance in the kitchen might determine whether your marriage (which Michael Ferland Women Jersey is now on the rocks thanks to almost a year of getting to know each other during the pandemic) survives into 2021. Oh, don't mind me. I'm just kidding. Your marriage is great. But your snack selection still matters. All those imaginary party guests are going to come hungry! And on the off chance you're packing your house as usual, you're gonna need snacks that help wash away the lack of football gatherings during 2020 (without also washing away their bowels). Originally, I thought about turning this year's Super Bowl snack rankings into a how-to guide for pandemic partygoers -- you know, identifying snacks that can be consumed while wearing a mask (my idea: pouring an entire pitcher of Coke over your face and hoping some seeps through), offering tips for hosting a party through Zoom. But do any of you really care? Guarantee most of you won't even read this sentence right here. You've all skipped this intro and skimmed through the rankings, haven't you? Heck, you're probably already firing off your outrage tweets: Anyway, if you're still with me, we've got a different twist this year: Ranking each state's most popular Super Bowl snacks, . I've taken all the most-searched snacks from 50 states and arranged them from worst to first. Of course, this list is entirely, utterly subjective, but I welcome your feedback. (I know you won't listen, but ... try to be nice? I have kids.) By the way, I did this while hungry, delaying my own lunch just to get it done, so you're welcome:23. Ham and Cheese SlidersStates: IndianaSpeaking of marriages, my wife Alex Burmistrov Kids Jersey loves ham and cheese stuff. So I want to make crystal clear that this isn't a shot at her. Frankly, these aren't a bad option if you want to stay away from the fried stuff. But is anyone leaping for joy at the sight of ... deli samples? 22. Swedish MeatballsStates: Tenne seeLove me some meatballs. But you've gotta be in the mood for the ol' Swedish tang. Cut the sauce, add some marinara and spaghetti, and I'm all the way in, baby.21. Chili DogsStates: New HampshireNothing wrong with chili dogs. But are they a sustainable snack on game day? How many of you have ever consumed more than one in a single sitting?* 20. Football CookiesStates: Iowa, MichiganThe only holdup here: What of cookies are we talking? The description is too vague to celebrate. If these are chocolate chip cookies shaped Tyler Motte Men Jersey as footballs, they skyrocket up the board.19. Buffalo Chicken DipStates: Arkansas, Kansas, Ohio, South Dakota, VirginiaThis is the one that's gonna hurt me. I know it. All of you love this stuff, which is great for you. But I'm gonna be honest, folks: * I'd rather just eat real Buffalo chicken.18. Pigs in a BlanketStates: Nevada, North CarolinaI'm always a little too harsh on these little hogs. Baked well, they're good, especially with mustard on hand. But I don't know how you operate your oven or what kind of weenies you buy. And if you me s these up, you're gonna be eating chewy dogs in soggy blankets. That, boys and girls, will be enough to shut down the whole party. 17. CakeStates: Florida, Montana, New Jersey, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, TexasI'm a cake guy. I will not turn down a slice. But we've got a better variation of cake higher on the list. Read on.16. Baked Sweet PotatoStates: DelawareNothing special, but you just know, with a nice pat of butter, that these will deliver. Bonus: They look like mini footballs!15. Chicken Club Ranch Roll-UpsStates: HawaiiSee, these play the same role as Ham and Cheese Sliders -- a cold, simple sandwich item -- but with more punch. If you're looking to go easy on the battered and breaded stuff, this is a nice alternative. (An additional healthy-snacking tip: are really flavorful. Tried some this week, and they're the real deal.) 14. Pulled PorkStates: WisconsinHow are we serving this? On buns? By itself? With sauce? So many questions that need answered before vaulting it up the board.13. Jalapeno PoppersStates: IllinoisCrispy and spicy, these little nuggets are a surefire party hit. The downside, though, is that one too many might throw Daniel Sedin Women Jersey you overboard. Unle s you've got the 'rona and can't taste anything, you can't be munching on these all night long.12. Deviled EggsStates: MaineVery underrated, if I might say so myself. You need a good handful to feel like you're actually consuming calories, but the blend of topping and hard-boiled eggs is hard to replicate in other snacks. 11. Rotel DipStates: AlabamaThis is a queso dip, with tomatoes and ground beef mixed in. In other words, one of the best cheese-based sauces you can add to any party with tortilla chips. Just make sure Greg, who somehow showed up uninvited while a global pandemic rages on, doesn't double dip.10. Spinach Artichoke DipStates: California, Mi si sippi, Nebraska, Alex Burmistrov Women Jersey New York, West VirginiaA cool counterpart to queso dip, these one deserves a spot on the main table. Pair it with a soft bread, and your own family members will tip you before the night is over.9. Sweet Potato SkinsStates: ColoradoAgain, are we ecstatic over sweet potato? Not nece sarily. But these are ! Baked with all kinds of healthy stuff like bacon and cheese, then baked again for an extra crisp. 8. Pepperoni RollsStates: KentuckyI didn't really know what these were until I did this list. A quick Google search turned up some pictures of what appeared to be ... pizza Twinkies? Seems like mini strombolis is a better way to put it. Either way, they sounded good for lunch, and they seem like exactly the kind of small, baked and pizza-y snacks that win over a crowd.7. Seven-Layer DipStates: Arizona, Idaho, Mi souri, Oregon, Utah, WyomingOne of the most popular snacks acro s the country. Just make sure your guests aren't allergic to beans.6. Paleo Salmon CakesStates: AlaskaThis sounds like something I'd eat at a fancy dinner more th
