haha Lawrence - not only did it work, but I first saw it while eating a strawberry ice lolly! Not that size, sadly.

this is what you get for googling gigantic food
"Mao and Stalin are in a phone booth disscussing their plan. Mao decides that they should create a monster out of meatballs. Stalin refuses and says this should make a flying gummy bear. They start fighting and suddenely the phone rings. Stalin picks it up and answers. It turns out to be a giant brownie that Stalin created the other night while drunk. Stalin tells the monster that he isn't gonna use it. Then the brownie starts to cry but Stalin tells it to rot. He then notices taht Mao is gone and rushes out to find her. He finds her with a gigantic meatball monster. Stalin gets mad at Mao and says something like "Mint wax floss" (I dunno, I think because they are next to a dentist office. Thanks Jord for pointing that out.) Stalin then takes a gummi bear and chews it. He then spits it out and its turns into a giant flying gummy bear."

http://www.bigthings.ca/quebec/pictures/bottle1.jpgI've been by this too. It's in Montreal. My mother told me that when she was a little girl, a kid had been kidnapped and hidden inside the giant milk jug. I don't think it's actually true.

Do not, in your rush to celebrate giant food images, forget about giant food poetry!
This is by James McIntyre (1827-1906), the Cheese Poet of Oxford County, Ontario:
Ode On the Mammoth Cheese
(weight over seven thousand pounds)
We have seen thee, queen of cheese,
Lying quietly at your ease,
Gently fanned by evening breeze,
Thy fair form no flies dare seize.
All gaily dressed soon you'll go
To the great Provincial show,
To be admired by many a beau
In the city of Toronto.
Cows numerous as a swarm of bees,
Or as the leaves upon the trees,
It did require to make thee please,
And stand unrivalled, queen of cheese.
May you not receive a scar as
We have heard that Mr. Harris
Intends to send you off as far as
The great world's show at Paris.
Of the youth beware of these,
For some of them might rudely squeeze
And bite your cheek, then songs or glees
We could not sing, oh! queen of cheese.
We'rt thou suspended from balloon,
You'd cast a shade even at noon,
Folk would think it was the moon
About to fall and crush them soon.
