Alright, it isn’t real, but how co:cool:l would it be if it were? Plus it shows Jim Koch has a great sense of humor.

Doesn’t stop them from filling huge cartoon character balloons with them every Thanksgiving.  
There used to be a Helium Reclamation System at the University of Utah. The pipes are still there. But the system was long out of use even before I got there. I think someone in charge must’ve turned on his TV one Thanksgiving morning and seen the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and just sighed “What’s the Use?”
