Fourth of July: Spending figures and statistics

Fourth of July is a time for celebrations and like any good party calls for some planning and resources. According to figures by the National Retail Foundation, more than $7 billion are spent on celebrations by Americans, on this day. Here is a sector wise analysis of July 4 expenditure across the country, as per WalletHub.

Merchandise

More than $5 million were sent in the import of U.S. flags.

Travel

As per AAA, some 46.9 million Americans are estimated to travel more than 50 miles over the upcoming July 4th holiday.

Food

It was estimated last year that Americans would spend more than $388 million on hamburger patties, $389 million on barbeque chicken, $133 million on buns and $37 million just on ketchup.

Beer

 The amount Americans plan to spend on beer and wine alone, out of the total $6.9 billion on food, according to WalletHub’s 4th of July survey. Wine will see expenditures around the tune of $568 million.

Fireworks

Undeterred by their origin, Americans spend more than $1 billion on fireworks each year, according to the American Pyrotechnics Association. By weight, that makes for roughly 268 million pounds of fireworks — or roughly a pound of pyrotechnics for every American man, woman and child. Municipalities shell out somewhere in the range of $5000 to $30000 to host their own show on the 4th of July.

    The best dubs go beyond the basics of the format, and make those vocal77 loops sound as if they absolutely need to be vocal77 repeated.

The series centers around three children from Earth: Jackie, Matt and Inez, who are brought into Cyberspace, a digital universe, in order to protect it from the villainous Hacker (Christopher Lloyd).[4] They are able to foil Hacker’s schemes by means of problem-solving skills in conjunction with basic math, environmental science and wellness. In Cyberspace, they meet Digit (Gilbert Gottfried for the first 13 seasons, Ron Pardo since season 14), a “cybird” who helps them on their missions.[5]
