The first Super Bowl was held on this date in 1967. The Green Bay Packers beat the Kansas City Chiefs 35 to 10. Ever since, housewives, hosts and hostesses have braced themselves for this dreaded weekend when carpets take their worst beatings. It's no wonder Super Bowl party-givers start preparing well in advance. They practice the dab-and-blot play over and over, picking up wet spills with paper towels. They keep a first-aid cleaning kit ready on the sidelines, too, with vinegar, carpet shampoo and towels to clean up fumbles and fouls as they happen. And they have handy a pair of small scissors to snip off burned carpet fibers when there's a cigar or cigarette touch-down. For being prepared in advance, you score extra points. And that's the On the House tip for today.
