$249 for a Hot Air Balloon Ride and Champagne Picnic for Two ($500 Value)

Passengers and crew members soar above the Adirondacks and Lake George during an excursion through the sky in the open-air cockpit of an inflatable air vessel. After watching the multicolored balloon blossom, the sky-bound pair and trained pilot climb aboard and embark on a 40- to 60-minute adventure that brings the clouds close enough to be used as Q-tips. During the flight, scenery chewers can spy the sweeping landscapes of Warren, Washington, and Saratoga Counties and trace the rolling hills of Vermont. Once back on terra firma, the passengers imbibe food and champagne during a celebratory picnic. The number of passengers will vary depending on the balloon, with a weight limit of either 1,660 or 2,450 pounds. When customers call to schedule, they may wish to specify a backup date in case of inclement weather.

SunKiss Ballooning

Owner and pilot Todd J. Monahan remembers chasing hot air balloons across the sky as a land-locked child. After attending extensive training and FAA-approved safety seminars, he finally caught up to them, founding SunKiss Ballooning and enlisting the expertise of his brother Scott as well as a cast of experienced pilots and crewmembers. Citing safety as a priority, SunKiss' captains stay up to date on the latest in balloon technology, and they escort passengers through the sky in two vessels each rated to carry different gross weights and repel different-sized Mothras.

The Groupon Guide to: Escaping a Glass Prison Cell

With new weird laws constantly being passed, there's a good chance you'll probably be convicted of an obscure crime and sentenced to imprisonment in a large glass holding cell. Here's how you can get out:

  • Glass will melt at a certain temperature, but why bother going through all that trouble when you can just break it by throwing yourself against one of the walls?

  • Look around for structural weaknesses. If you can't find any, you're not looking hard enough because that holding cell is composed of large pieces of easily breakable glass.

  • Turn around and pick up that 40-pound sledgehammer that's been sitting in the corner this entire time. When your adrenaline starts pumping from lifting that heavy sledgehammer, put it back down and use that adrenaline surge to propel your body straight through the glass.

  • In movies, people are always shattering nearby drinking glasses and windows by singing in an unbearably high pitch. Do the same thing, but instead of singing, just use any solid part of your body to smash that glass!

When is your town getting a glass prison?
