The Super Bowl Effect | Consumers Invest in Ambiance

Scented candles are purchased to help mask cooking odors and set the right ambiance for hosting the big event.

“We were hosting guests for the Super Bowl, and I had done a lot of cooking before they came over. I had made the mistake of frying some fish in the house, and I was worried that the house would wreak of smoke and the latent smell of fish-infused oil. I remembered that I had just gotten the candle, so I put it on the entryway table, and it made a huge difference!”

“Great for autumn family gatherings around an NFL game or reading alone on a dark, rainy night.!”

The Super Bowl Effect | Consumers Invest in Cookware

Cookware is purchased to make chili pots, fried chicken wings and dip prior to the Super Bowl event.

“This pot will be able to cook enough for a large crowd in one go! I love making a large pot of chili in this pot during the Superbowl and it is great that as soon as you heat it up, it will stay hot for a long time due to the cast iron.” “We ordered this to fry food at our Super Bowl party. We have never owned one before. We fried wings, mozzarella stick, empanadas and corn dogs with ease. It’s was fantastic and easy to clean. It transported well and cooked the best food.” “I bought this to make Buffalo chicken dip for a Super Bowl party at my house, 5 adults. Made the perfect amount and cooked it well. I’ve also made Chicken BBQ and it did not disappoint.
