Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Everyone knows that on New Year's Eve, New York City drops a glittery ball over Times Square. However, there are a number of other cities around the country that also drop objects as a way to welcome the new year and, in Pennsylvania, they all seem to be food related.
In Bethlehem, a specially rigged crane lowers an enormous, illuminated Peep (Just Born, the company that makes the marshmallow confections, is located in Bethlehem) at midnight. In Lebanon, PA, the local fire department lowers a 7 and a half foot long bologna (but what do they do with it afterwards?). Pottsville raises a giant bottle of Yuengling (pronounced Ying-Ling), the city of Hershey lowers a huge, foil-wrapped Kiss and Elizabethtown drops a oversized M&M.
It certainly makes Philly's fireworks and day-long Mummer's Parade pale in comparison! Next year, I think we should drop a gargantuan cheesesteak.
