World's Largest Gingerbread Man Unveiled in Norway!
Blog Entry: Friday 13 Nov 2009
Spectators in Oslo, Norway, watched as the world’s largest gingerbread man, at a whopping 1435lbs, was unveiled by the world’s tallest living man, 8ft1 Turkish giant, Sultan Koesen.
Baked locally in the traditional gingerbread-man shape, with the traditional buttery recipe, it beat the previous gingerbread cookie record of 1307lbs set in 2006 in Smithville, Texas.
It certainly sounds like a tastier way to break a buttery world record than eating seven sticks of butter in five minutes, a record held by Don “Moses” Lerman, a now-retired world champion in competitive eating.
