Chick-fil-A Drops Swag from Helicopter at Bixby Central Football Game

Nobody would believe it if you couldn't see it yourself, but it happened in Bixby, Oklahoma.

Bixby Central Takes Friday Night to New Heights

Chick-fil-A teamed up with Bixby Central for some sort of fun promotion. And while they could have done any number of things... bust out the inflatable cows, tons of Eat Mor Chkn! signs and whatnot, they brought in a helicopter and dropped toys from the sky.

Here's the video...

The excitement of the chopper, the fun of the parachutes, the rush of kids onto the field to claim their own... It was one of those moments that only makes sense in the context of Oklahoma high school football.

If anything, it really steps up the game for high schools around the Sooner State, but how do they compete?

Community Spirit Shines Through Spectacle

Every school has the band, the cheerleaders, and the town out in full force to root on the home team... Which is easy in Bixby, they're ranked #1 in the nation at the moment... and now aerial drops are just a normal part of the game?

What’s funny is how normal it seemed once it happened. Nobody questioned it. No one said, “Wait, they’re doing what?” It was more like, “Of course they are.” That’s the charm, everyone’s up for some fun. And the jealousy on social media isn't about the toy or the partnership with Chick-fil-A, it’s about the moment these kids will remember forever.

Twenty years from now, at the 2045 class reunion, the talk will be “Remember that time Chick-fil-A dropped toys from a helicopter?” Heck, even just days later, nobody remembers who Bixby rolled over in the game, but everyone is talking about the prizes parachuting to the field.

This Night Will Be Remembered

Moments like that are what make football nights in Oklahoma so special.

Here's the natural next question... How do you top this? Maybe dropping chicken sandwiches into the crowd? Droning in pizza from your local pizzeria? What a wild and spectacular time to be alive in Oklahoma. Next thing you'll know, high schools will start building those multi-million dollar football fields like Texas.
