What Gets Dropped on NYE

I never got to see the ball drop when I was little, so I built it up to be a grand event in my head: it must be a giant ball that dropped and shattered. When I saw the real thing on tv in my late teens, it was a real let down. Here is a list of other, way more interesting, things that get dropped. This list does Pennsylvania proud--we drop lots of food items--a broasted chicken, various forms of candy, a bag of chips, and my favorite (because it's where Parker lives), a pregnant Mrs. Pickle in Dillsburg, PA (usually they drop a Mr. Pickle, but Mr. and Mrs. Pickle got married in June). There's also a big wrench drop in Mechanicsburg.
