March 14 (UPI) -- An Australian berry company broke a Guinness World Record by growing a Ping-Pong-sized berry that weighs .72 ounce.

A Guinness adjudicator examined the blueberry grown by Costa Berries in Corindi, New South Wales, and confirmed it was the world's heaviest blueberry.

Brad Hocking, head of the team that grew the berry, said it was picked in November last year and kept frozen while the company communicated with Guinness World Records.

The blueberry is the new Eterna variety developed by Costa Berries.

Hocking said his team hasn't decided what to do with the record-breaking berry.

"We all look at it occasionally and smile," he told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. "I don't think a smoothie would be the right fate for it."

I don’t know; sometimes things can naturally grow big. But my husband grew up growing veggies with his dad and says that ‘giant’ things generally don’t taste as good...

So evidently it’s now possible to grow huge blueberries.
This news will make some people very happy.

That’ll do for a whole bowl of Cap’n Crunch.

Just like the big Red Delicious Washington Apples. They were big and red but tasted like a baked potato. They were over engineered and modified to the point they lost all their flavor. Entire orchards had to be cleared the only thing they were good for was sider and applesauce.

Check it for steroids and whatever kept Sleepy Joe awake during his Scream if the Union speech.

Probably has a stinger and fangs hidden away there.

This was top news at noon in my neck of the woods.

Nothing about the murders, gang wars, drug wars, carjackings, or anything else that would warn one of what is current.

A dam blueberry.
