8,000 Foot Burrito Breaks Record
<snip>

RENO, Nev. -- It's a brute of a burrito. Take more than 8,200 flour tortillas, ladle on a ton of refried beans, then add truckloads of sour cream, cheese and salsa -- and you've got the world's biggest burrito.

Officials of the Nevada State Fair are claiming a new Guinness burrito record. The burrito was more than 8,000 feet long.

If recognized, the Reno burrito will surpass the current record of 7,700-plus feet, set in Mexico in 2001.

But the Nevada burrito was just for looking, not munching. It took more than two hours to make and organizers feared the sour cream might have gone bad.

8. Considering the amount of people that go hungry in the world....
I think they could have found a better use for all that food.
