If you thought dropping Snooki was weird, you haven't seen the rest of America. Some cities drop really weird things on New Years Eve. How weird? How about bologna, sausage, a drag queen, a bag of chips and a possum?
If you're from any of these cities, well, congratulations for surviving the weirdness around you:
• Giant Pickle - Dillsburg, Pennsylvania
• Pinecone - Flagstaff, Arizona
• Drag Queen - Key West, Florida
• Peep candy - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
• Giant Sausage - Elmore, Ohio
• Captain Wylie the Walleye fish - Port Clinton, Ohio
• Giant Cheese - Plymouth, Wisconsin
• 150 pound stick of bologna - Lebanon, Pennsylvania
• Giant Peach - Atlanta, Georgia
• Giant Acorn - Raleigh, North Carolina
• Bag of Chips - Lewistown, Pennsylvania
• Wrench - Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania
• Possum - Brasstown, North Carolina
• Possum - Tallapoosa, Georgia
How is it possible that two different cities drop possums? Possums are disgusting creatures! Anyway, here's a few of these wonky celebrations in pictures:
