World's Largest Things

 

 World's Largest Cigar 

 

 

Big enough to make a Cohiba look like a Virginia Slim, witness the world's largest cigar, on display in Brussels, Belgium. The carcinogenic monster measures in at 21 feet, weight is over 1,000 pounds, and is comprised of nearly 10,000 tobacco leaves. Now if someone could just find the world's biggest asshat to smoke it.

 

World's Biggest Model Train Set

 

 

Here are totally normally sized brothers Frederick and Gerrit Braun, creators of the world's largest model train set in Hamburg, Germany. The whole thing is more than a one square mile large. Wunderbar, boys!

World's Biggest Passenger Jet

The Airbus A380 is different from many things on this list, as it actually serves some purpose. The A380 is the first "superjumbo" jet and can carry up to 853 passengers over 8,200 miles in one go. If that isn't big enough for you, there's a new version coming down the pike: the A380-900, which will carry over 900 passengers.

 

 World's Largest Moving Box

 

 

People can be seen here rooting through the world's largest moving box, attempting to find orange balls left by the ION Television. It was part of a promotion by ION Television, which built the largest moving box because in Times Square in New York City.

 

World's Largest Yellow Ribbon 

 

 

Tony Orlando poses with the world's largest yellow outside all the way around the Friar's Club in New York City. If you don't get why Tony Orlando would have a yellow ribbon tied around a building for him, go ask your parents. Or use Google. One or the other.

World's Largest Candyland Board 

 

Often credited as the crookedest street in the world, San Francisco's Lombard St. was transformed the world's largest Candyland in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the children's board game. Watch the curves!

World's Largest Ice Fishing Competition 

 

Every year the town of Brainerd, Minnesota hosts the world's biggest ice fishing competition. Unfortunately, you have to spread out ice fishing holes so far away from one another that the whole thing, despite having 10,000 to 14,000 participants, still looks rather lonely.

World's Largest Airship 

 

Considering what happened in the last time someone attempted to build the world's largest airship, we think we'll skip buying a ticket on this one until all of the kinks have been worked out, thanks.

World's Largest Cup of Herbal Tea

Brewed in Milan, Italy, this pot is 2,005 liters of throat-soothing goodness. It was put together by Ettore Diana, an Italian barker who makes ridiculously huge drinks, including a 3000-liter cocktail, a 248.3-liter cup of coffee, and a 2000-liter cup of non-herbal tea. When this guy sees a 64 oz. Big Gulp at a 7-Eleven, he's like, "Yeah, that's big, I guess, but really it should be about 64,000 ounces. I'll get started right away."
