The curse-ending sauce will be created by first drowning the remains of the ball in Budweiser and then combining it with other ingredients to produce the ball-infused sauce. The sauce will be poured over spaghetti and served to willing Cubs fans at Harry Caray's in Chicago and Rosemont, Illinois from Monday, February 21st - Thursday, February 24th, the day of the 7th Annual Worldwide Toast to Harry. All proceeds from the sales of this $11.95 entree will benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in honor of Cubs legend Ron Santo.

On December 17, 1979 Stan Barrett was strapped into the cockpit of the Budweiser rocket car waiting to make a final run in an attempt to be the first person to drive a land-bound vehicle faster than the speed of sound. Previous trials exposed shortcomings in the basic design of the car. The propulsion system was unable to develop enough power to accelerate the vehicle to a speed high enough to establish an official FIA or FIM sanctioned World Land Speed Record, which at that time stood at 622 mph.
