The Groupon Guide to: the New Year’s Eve Ball Drop
People all over the world celebrate New Year's Eve by watching the ball drop in Times Square, and the ball itself has a come a long way from the papier-mâché wad engulfed in flames that rang in the new year back in 1904. Here's a look at today's cutting-edge ball:
Size: The ball is a scale model of earth, so its size changes every year to match the diminishing diameter of a planet slowly being trampled by its inhabitants.
Material: The ball is constructed from the finest Waterford crystal and held together by several hundred Pepsi stickers.
Contents: Traditionally, the ball is filled with:
• One animal from every species
• Children's letters to Santa
• All the extra money that the year's millionaires are tired of
• The oft-expunged choose-your-own-adventure Bible chapters
Speed: The ball is actually descending imperceptibly slowly throughout the entire year.
Reaction: As soon as the ball reaches its base, millions of people all over the world instantly begin weeping inconsolably in memory of the year that just died.
