The Ultimate Super Bowl Survival Guide – Powered by Flying Tumbler (and Questionable Snacks)

Ah, the Super Bowl—where die-hard fans, casual viewers, and people who just show up for the snacks unite for an epic night of touchdowns, halftime shows, and highly questionable commercials. Whether you're in it for the football, the food, or just an excuse to drink whiskey on a Sunday, Flying Tumbler and Paddy the Pigeon have you covered with this ultimate survival guide.

1. Pre-Game Like a Pro (With Whiskey, Obviously)

Before kickoff, it’s essential to warm up—just like the players, but with better taste. Pour yourself a smooth Flying Tumbler whiskey on the rocks, take a deep breath, and mentally prepare for the emotional rollercoaster ahead. Bonus points if you make a toast predicting an underdog win.

2. Stock the Whiskey, Forget the Fancy Cocktails

Forget those complicated Super Bowl cocktails with 15 ingredients and a rim of salt shaped like a football. Keep it simple: Flying Tumbler, ice, and maybe a splash of cola or ginger ale if you're feeling adventurous. Less mixing, more drinking.

3. Snack Like Your Life Depends on It

Chicken wings, nachos, and enough chips to fill a bathtub—this is your moment to indulge. Flying Tumbler pairs perfectly with all of it, from spicy wings to that suspicious seven-layer dip nobody really understands but eats anyway.

4. Pick a Team (Even If You Don't Care)

You might not know a thing about football, but that shouldn’t stop you from passionately supporting a team. Choose your side based on jersey colors, mascots, or which city has the better whiskey scene—no judgment. Just commit fully and argue loudly.

5. Halftime Is for Refills, Not Bathroom Breaks

Halftime isn’t just about flashy performances and surprise guests; it’s prime whiskey-refilling time. Hit the kitchen, grab more Flying Tumbler, and make sure you're stocked up for the second half. The bathroom can wait.

6. The Commercial Drinking Game

Turn those Super Bowl ads into an experience:

  • Take a sip every time there’s a celebrity cameo.
  • A shot if an ad gets way too emotional.
  • Chug if there’s a talking animal (Paddy insists this rule stays).

7. Trash Talk Like You Mean It

Super Bowl night is all about the banter—whether you actually know the rules or not. Channel your inner Paddy and deliver some top-tier trash talk. "Even I could’ve made that catch" is always a solid go-to.

8. Prepare for the Post-Game Blues

Win or lose, the game ends. Make sure you've got a final Flying Tumbler nightcap ready to reflect on the greatest plays, the worst calls, and the mountains of snacks you devoured. Don’t worry—there’s always next year.

9. Avoid Work the Next Day

Super Bowl Monday should be a national holiday, but until it is, plan your excuses early. Whether it's "mysterious food poisoning" or a sudden case of Whiskey Flu, Paddy recommends taking a strategic sick day.

10. Celebrate Like a Champion (or Drown Your Sorrows Like One)

Whether your team wins, loses, or you're just here for the halftime show, there’s one thing everyone can agree on—whiskey makes everything better. So raise a glass, toast to another Super Bowl in the books, and enjoy the rest of the night like a true whiskey fan.
