We have all seen the 'ball drop' to ring in the New Year in Times Square but what about here in Texas? It's pretty common to find a city or two in each state that drops something unique for the New Year. In Alabama they drop a giant Moonpie at midnight.

In Wisconsin they drop a giant cheese wedge. In Nashville it's an 80-foot tall guitar.

In Texas, it's mostly giant ball drops similar to that of New York. Surely we can find a Moonpie of our own to drop at midnight?

Instead of a mirror ball can't we drop get somebody to drop a giant Buc-ees sign, or a giant Alamo? Maybe a giant bucket of Queso?
