KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Across the Kansas City metro, fans are buying up merchandise and products that scream KC.

Merchants are having fun from products like coffee at Parisi to hot sauce at Spicin Foods.
“We’re very excited to be a part of this and jump on this locomotive train that’s seems to be headed to the Super Bowl seems like every year,” Business Development Executive Mike Armstrong said.
Spicin Foods is the Official Sauce of the Kansas City Chiefs and Armstrong said it’s been a success.
While Arrowhead knows decibels, 142.2 to be exact, Spicin Foods knows the Scoville Scale. We got a taste of Da Bomb, which is 135,000 Scoville units.
Now through Super Bowl Sunday, you can sink your teeth into a delicious burger at Westport Flea Market for just $3. The restaurant is celebrating Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes going for his third Super Bowl win, and honoring the price of a burger with the same number.
