CONTEST ALERT: Spot the Peach

"Millions of peaches, peaches for me.  Millions of peaches, peaches for free." 
 
These iconic words, sung by The Presidents of the United States of America, were hard to fathom at the time of their popularity.  Nowadays, the numbers are easier to grasp (think Dr. Evil, where "one million dollars" isn't really all that much anymore).
 
But you never really heard much about traveling peaches, let alone in large quantities. That's all about to change, because we're unleashing five peaches into Atlanta's first inbound/outbound markets: Austin, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, and Houston. Better still, these peaches aim to help you save on flights, and maybe even earn free roundtrip tickets, and a vacation in Atlanta.
