If you were looking up Monday
evening in downtown Lincoln, you may have seen this very
odd-looking sight. The object in the air is the
Despicable Me blimp.
The
blimp is traveling around the United States right now on
a promotional tour promoting the new movie "Despicable Me
2." |
|
Promoters have also set up a
website where folks can follow the tour. On
Monday the blimp was in transit from St. Louis to Chicago.
To follow the blimp, check out this

The
vault containing the "secret recipe" for Coca-Cola stands on display at the
World of Coca-Cola museum, in Atlanta, Ga. The 127-year-old recipe for Coke sits
inside an imposing steel vault that's bathed in red security lights, while
security cameras monitor the area to make sure the fizzy formula stays a secret.
