Heaven in a packet

Here is a Web site worth looking at:
http://www.worldslargestketchuppacket.com/

And I think we all know why I like it.

It features a countdown to what is called "the great packet making," this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. when Collinsville's community members are going to attempt to create the worl'd's largest condiment packet. Filled with heaven.

Collinsville, like me, loves its ketchup. It already holds claim to the largest ketchup bottle in the world. SEE? It even has a fan club, and MERCHANDISE. (Birthday ideas, people.)

Look at it, in all its glory.


According to the site, it's on the National Register of Historic Places.
"The World's Largest Catsup Bottle stands proudly next to Route 159, just south of downtown Collinsville, Illinois. This unique 170 ft. tall water tower was built in 1949 by the W.E. Caldwell Company for the G.S. Suppiger catsup bottling plant - bottlers of Brooks old original rich & tangy catsup. "

We got the largest Stag Can around here too...

It's located in Greene County, north of Madison.

But Stag is not nearly as tasty.
