I have had this pinback button in my collection since I started it in the early 90's. It's celluloid, with a black & white photo of a woman sitting on a globe, eating a bowl of rice. The perimeter says: DIGESTIBLE NUTRITIOUS CHEAP - WRITE FOR RICE RECIPES FREE - RICE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA, CROWLEY, LA. (with a signature.) In the center of the globe, it says: Eat The World Food RICE. |

Additional Information | Super Bowl XX was held on January 26, 1986 at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. It featured the Chicago Bears playing the New England Patriots. The New England Patriots were heavy underdogs, only getting in the play-offs as a wildcard team due to their poor record of 11-5, compared to Chicago's 15-1. Though the Patriots took an early lead, scoring a field goal only 1:19 into the game (the record for fastest score during a Super Bowl held until 2007), they were unable to keep their lead and the Bears defeated the Patriots, 46-10 setting several records, including most sacks (7), fewest rushing yards allowed (7) and largest margin of victory (36 points). This was Chicago's third championship win, having won the NFC champion ship game in 1946, the AFL/NFL championship in 1963 and Super Bowl XX in 1985. |

Additional Information | The Chicago Sting was a soccer team from 1974 to 1988. The Sting was named after the movie of the same name, which was set in Chicago during the 1930s. The Sting was in the North American Soccer League (NASL) from 1975 to 1984, and the Major Indoor Soccer League from 1984-1988. Soccer fans supported the Sting through their NASL championship wins in 1981 and 1984, only one of two teams to win the championship twice (the other was the New York Cosmos). However, by the late 1980s, the Sting faced a string of losses and financial troubles, and the team stopped playing by the summer of 1988. They have never played another game, though Sting fans still have hope. |
