    That town had a great idea. I’m glad you visited and we got to see giant objects, it was a lot of fun, I liked they had several you could climb in or interact with, landscaping was beautiful and it looked like a pretty town. Sorry about Possum 3.

      What happened to the worlds largest penny? We were there a year or two ago and it was in front of the bank. When we were there on July 18, 2021 no penny! :(

    I live 1hour and a half north of Casey near Danville, IL. I have driven through Casey many times but have never stopped. I have always wanted to stop and see all of the large things. It is also cool to see you in my neck of the woods.

    A swizzle spoon is a bar spoon that is a long-handled spoon used in bartending for mixing and layering of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic mixed drinks. Its length ensures that it can reach the bottom of the tallest jug or tumbler to mix ingredients directly in the glass

    • @vonitadustylgreen2914
      @vonitadustylgreen2914 Před 2 lety +2

      Jacob Hood there are different types. There is the swizzle sticks that came out in the 1800s, the swizzle spoons for bars ( which are like teaspoons but smaller and elegant) and then there are swizzle spoons for malts, shakes and floats. They have a straw and the spoons are small and deeper.

    • @harleycynofficial

      We always used swizzle spoons for adding sugar to glasses of iced tea and swizzle sticks for coffee.

    Thank you for a very enjoyable video! Regarding the giant teeter totter/ see-saw, there was a rhyme for when you trapped the kid on the top. " Mr. Brown, Mr. Brown, what will you give me if I let you down?" After the kid trapped in the air promised you anything and everything, you would let them down. Maybe.

    Paul 2006 is so droopy. Casey is one of our favorite stop for our family. You have seen a lot of Paul for sure. Hey, you got a newer drone. I miss that big one you had. Oh no, it crashed. Poor drone. Casey was one of our favorite stops last year. The Giant Mailbox and giant pencil was my favorite!!! RIP Possum 3

    The twizzle is made to stir cocktails and the originals were made of glass.bi remember them as a kid, and I'm 60 now!

  • @deniseboldea1624
    @deniseboldea1624 Před 2 lety +1

    That hook in the yarn shop is a Crochet hook. 😊
    The "Caveman Lawnmower" is a Tamper, it would be used to level out dirt in parking lots and driveways, then it could also tamp the pitch down in driveways or small parking lots where larger steam rollers were not needed, or could not be used due to space constraints.
    As for the swizzle and twizzle spoons, that seems to be dependent upon who makes them. They were common in ice cream shops for shakes and floats. The long handle on some models served as a straw, and the spoon allowed you to eat the remaining ice cream.

    A bar spoon is a long-handled spoon used in bartending for mixing and layering both alcoholic and non-alcoholic mixed drinks. ... Its long handle is similar to an iced teaspoon, but is usually decorative and elegant - some variations mimic large swizzle sticks, with a disc at one end.

    A jigger, a cocktail shaker and a bar spoon
    A bar spoon holds about 5 millilitres of liquid (the same as a conventional teaspoon). Its long handle is similar to an iced tea spoon, but is usually decorative and elegant - some variations mimic large swizzle sticks, with a disc at one end. The shaft is typically thin and threaded so that the fingers can easily grip and rotate the spoon.[2][3]
