Snickers bigwigs just went nuts.

On Thursday in Waco, Texas, confectioner Mars, Inc. unveiled the largest Snickers bar ever created.

Tipping the scales at a gargantuan 4,700 pounds and measuring two feet high and 26 inches wide, the Guinness Book of World Records declared it a world champ.

“This is incredibly impressive,” Guinesses judge Michael Empiric told Waco TV station KWKT. “Some of my favorite record categories are big food because it has to be edible and it is also an engineering feat, so to get a 5,000-pound bar of chocolate to stay together is really challenging.”

I sure am glad there’s nobody starving in the world so they could justify wasting all that good stuff on this.

As the ad says, I’m not myself without a 4700# Snickers.

For the diet conscious...how many calories?

At 134 calories per ounce that would be infinity calories. Or 10,076,800.

I used to live near a Ferrara candy factory (Ferrara Pan then), and used to run past it frequently. You could tell what they were making, from the smell in the air. Lemonheads, Jawbreakers (Jaw Busters now), Red Hots, Boston Baked Beans.. This story just made me think of those evenings running past there..

'I almost dropped into a diabetic coma!! Lol'

Well, since my new regimen of Farxiga, 1000 mg. of metformin x2 daily, and a weekly shot of Trulicity has got my numbers back down into the single range, he deferred on starting me on a daily dose of insulin for now.

Everybody belly flop into the Snickers bar!!!!! I call dibs on the nougat! LOLOL!!!! *splat*

We also melted gummy bears.

Semi trailers filled 4 feet deep with gummies.
