STORY:
Times Square Confetti Souvenirs

Trash turned to treasure to commemorate Year 2000

Millions of pieces of confetti fell on the crowd at Times Square when the clock struck midnight and rang in the Year 2000. While most of the confetti was swept up and thrown away, some of it was not. In fact, that confetti can be yours. It’s now for sale as a New Year's Eve souvenir.

Entrepreneurs thinking ahead decided that all the confetti shouldn’t go to waste. After all this is the beginning of a new millennium and new century. They collected confetti from 44^th and Broadway and now you can buy a piece of history.

The confetti was packaged into champagne bottles, 2000 numbered champagne bottles. You can have this treasured trash for just $29.95. The confetti and collector champagne bottle is being sold in true 21^st century style-over the Internet. If you want to own a piece of history in a bottle there’s more information and photos available at www.y2kconfetti.com.

We know what you’re thinking? Why didn’t I think of that!
