In 1982, McDonald's introduced the Spaceship Happy Meal nationally - a burger and fries were loaded in a plastic ufo with a sticker sheet to decorate the craft. IMO, this is probably the first truly great Happy Meal promo ever.

some levity: i remembered Ten Cent Beer Night, easily one of the funniest things that's ever happened in the history of Texas baseball www.chron.com/culture/arti...

How cheap beer and a riot gave the Texas Rangers their most bizarre win

Angry fans and insanely cheap beer. What could go wrong?

Ashley Smith opens Under the Covers at 17009 Lorain Ave. in West Park today after years of dreaming about owning her own romance bookstore. Last night’s sneak peek already felt alive. Cleveland needs more independent bookstores and hoping she finds a big audience in the area.
