I gotta wonder how many people got food poisoning from the horses, dirt, and the very sanitary packaging.
I can't imagine anyone really eating that thing. It looks so gross. The pepperonis are bigger than a mans head, and how are they stuck on there? Pepperoni rolls have the pepperoni inside ....but I guess this was for show. :puke1:
 
faked photo. look at the black outline of the "roll"
and consider
add up the weights,,, 28,949 pounds being pulled by two horses . . .
Yep, and there is an outline around each pepperoni also. :bonk:
 
Ebbets Field was a stadium in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. It is mainly known for having been the home of the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team of the National League (1913–1957). It was also home to five professional football teams, including three NFL teams (1921–1948). Ebbets Field was demolished in 1960 and replaced by the Ebbets Field Apartments, the site's current occupant.

I have an old Akaki reel to reel with 8 track in the side. I've been going to get it out and try to sell it but it's so heavy it does not lend itself to shipping, I'd alos be afraid of it being damaged. So, it's sits in my storage room.

Ohio Canals. I have seen remnants of many of this in the SE Ohio area. I had no idea they went the length of the state.
