Pat’s Papers, the blog run by NY1 news anchor Pat Kiernan, has published a chart of water usage during the Super Bowl, that shows how when an entire populace is riveted to a major sporting event, everyone ends up going to the bathroom at the same time.
The data comes from the water company in Palm Beach County, Florida. They tracked minute-by-minute usage of water consumption and were able to peg huge spikes to key moments in the game, like halftime and commercial breaks. (The red line charts an average Sunday Night.)
Pat’s Papers published a similar chart last winter that showed water usage in Edmonton during Canada’s Gold Medal hockey win at the 2010 Olympics. America’s neighbors to the North were much more in sync with their bathroom trips.
