NEW YORK, USA -- The American Dairy Association & Dairy Council unveiled a giant cup of hot chocolate in Bryant Park; it weighs more than 4,180 pounds before the addition of marshmallows-setting the world record for the Largest Cup of Hot Chocolate.
The seven-foot wide mug held 487 gallons -- that's almost eight thousand cups of of piping hot cocoa -- not to mention tons of marshmallows.
Officials said they expected to distribute 6,000 to 10,000 free cups of cocoa.
The World's Largest Cup of Hot Chocolate, unveiled in Bryant Park, weighs more than 4,180 pounds before the addition of marshmallows and heats the traditional winter beverage to an optimal temperature of 120 degrees
The previous Guinness world record for the largest cup of hot chocolate was set by the Serendipity Three Restaurant with a four gallons hot chocolate.
The American Dairy Association & Dairy Council said the Largest Cup of Hot Chocolate event was organized to remind people of the importance of drinking milk for Vitamin D during the winter months.
Really? For taste or for the zing of the caffeine?

Kinda like we should all drink wine for the anti-oxidants and beer for the healthy carbohydrates they contain?
(Hi, Di! You’re having Fun tonight!)
That’s a great tip! :)
Hey! The marshmallows should be to scale! No fair!
Hi, Pete! I’m with you on the beer and wine idea, LOL! :)
Just started another jug of Cranberry Wine on New Year’s Day. I’m getting pretty good at it, as well as the added benefit of avoiding paying alcohol taxes to the state. ;)

Pssst! Over here! ;)
“How sweet it is!!:)”
I’m just surprised this wasn’t accomplished in The Chocolate City. Lol.
Thanks! That’s so pretty! :)
Mmmmmmmm....... so sticky good.
I found an even prettier pic — a mug with cream — extra tall and pouring over the side of the mug, but I didn’t want to post a pic that large. LOL.
