In October 2006, The Popcorn Factory set the world's record for the world's largest popcorn ball in Lake Forest, Illinois, certified by the Guiness Book of World Records. See http://www.thepopcornfactory.com/popcorn/jump/landingball.asp for details.

The question came to mind. What does one do with a 2 ton popcorn ball?

The answer was simple, really. Destroy it on video!

In 2007, thanks to help from our friends at ManiaTV.Com, the world's largest popcorn ball was systematically axed, chopped, kicked, baseball batted, hacksawed and chainsawed into oblivion.

In Part I, watch the path of destruction start with the unveiling of the ball!

  • Believe it or not, ...

    Believe it or not, in order to qualify for the world's record, it had to be made of the exact same materials as a regular popcorn ball. 1,500 pounds of sugar, 1,500 pounds of corn syrup, and 5 pounds of vanilla flavoring were added to 450 pounds of popped popcorn and 50 pounds of salt. But you're right--it was probably not as tasty as a real one!
