There’s More Than Balls Dropping on New Year’s Eve [VIDEO]

American's get wild on New Year's Eve. We're also a bit weird. While there will be plenty of 'ball drops', some cities will be dropping other strange things.

Residents of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, will ring in the New Year by cheering on a massive cylinder of sandwich meat. This year it's Weaver Bologna coming in at 12 feet long and 200 pounds. After the festivities, the bologna will be donated to local shelters, according to organizers.

Since 2008, folks in Vincennes, Indiana, have celebrated New Year's Eve -- and their locally renowned melons -- with a Watermelon Drop. But instead of slowly lowering a glittering sculpture of a melon (boring!), they drop a bunch of actual watermelons. A crane hoists the melons inside the event's centerpiece, an 18-foot wooden watermelon that looks like a green blimp, before letting them fly at midnight.

And yet we're still far from done with the list of crazy stuff being dropped at midnight:

• In Plymouth, Wisconsin it's an 80-pound metal cheese wedge.
• In Mount Olive, North Carolina, a 3-foot glowing pickle. You can watch it live here.
• They're dropping a muskrat in Maryland.
• In California wine country it's the Grape drop featuring a cluster of 160 balls measuring 7 feet wide and 12 feet long and adorned with more than 7,000 lights.

We're still not done. CNN has the rest of the list of ridiculousness dropping from the sky to ring in the new year.
