Finding the world’s largest beer or the biggest burger isn’t always obvious with small towns often laying claim to such titles to attract weary travelers for an interesting stop-off.
ProfessionalTravelGuide.com has put together a list of some of the more unusual largest things in the world with the list:
1. World’s Largest Beer — La Crosse, Wis.
Drive past Heileman’s Brewery in La Crosse to see the world’s largest beer, part of the world’s largest six-pack. Could this be anywhere else but Wisconsin? While in the state, visit the world’s largest talking cow (Neillsville), world’s largest penny (Woodruff) and the largest “M” (Platteville).
2. Largest Lobster — New Brunswick, Canada
Citizens of Shediac, New Brunswick, celebrate their self-proclaimed status as “Lobster Capital of the World” with their 35 ft statue of a lobster. The largest lobster recorded was caught in Nova Scotia, weighing 44 lbs. (20 kg).
3. Biggest Burger — Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub, Clearfield, Penn. (although this claim often faces rivals)
Order ahead for a 123 lb. (56 kg) burger. Of course, there’s always the 6 lb (3 kg) version if you’re just after a snack.
4. Largest Velvet Elvis — The Tattoo Factory, Chicago
At the Tattoo Factory in Chicago, stands what is currently the largest velvet Elvis, at 12 ft by 12 ft. Elvis is pictured with a tear in his eye, possibly from the thought of having been immortalized on velvet.
