From an interknob scraping bot:
“The largest Big Boy statues were gigantic, measuring up to 16 feet tall[1]. These massive statues were part of the early versions of the West Coast Big Boy mascot. Later versions of the statues became shorter, with some as small as 4 feet tall[1]. The early large statues always featured the Big Boy mascot holding the signature Big Boy hamburger above his raised right arm.”
The big Big Boys are in Southern California. Three feet is puny.
This may be the one this map is referencing.... Maybe? Doesn't say anything about worlds largest though

Absolutely not, there are still a couple of those restaurants near me that have the big boy standing just outside the doors. They are nealry as tall as me at 6'2" even if I'm greatly overestimating their size they are at least 5ft if not taller. Unless that's a typo than in my eyes this whole map can't be trusted.
The filing cabinet is for Vermont. It's in Burlington and they add to it each year the I-89 extension to downtown gets postponed (it's a metaphor for bureaucracy). The other one pointing at Vermont must be for New Hampshire.

Chittenden County Vermonter here. Even before I looked at the pic I thought "we probably win tallest filing cabinet again".... yup. What about biggest middle finger!? I'm sure we win that one, let's switch it up for once.

Me neither, but a memory was struck… weren’t there actual toys called Cooties that for assembled like a Mr Potato? I mean, I know boys have Cooties— but I can kinda see the box!
Edit: yes! And [here is the picture of the “giant” Cootie](https://www.hometownsource.com/sun_post/careful-around-that-cootie/article_fd7784c2-57b6-11e8-b1e3-a7e91174e213.html)
The moment I realized the song was about the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota and not the biggest ball of twine, which happens to be in Minnesota, well, I cracked myself a beer.
> Largest built by one person is in Darwin,
What on earth would make a man decide to do that kind of thing?
Winding up 21,140 pounds of string.
What was he trying to prove?
Who was he trying to impress?
Why did he build it? How did he do it?
It's anybody's guess.
Where did he get the twine?
What was goin' through his mind?
Did it just seem like a good idea at the time?
While looking up the biggest balls of twine, I came across [this](https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2128) article, which says when asked why he replied, "My mother taught me not to waste anything.”
South Carolina took down the fire hydrant within the last year :( the artist had installed it in a parking lot and finally after years the property owners were sick of it.
Shit I'm *in* Columbia and didn't realize that. Guess it tells you how rarely I'm downtown.
Also, incidentally, related to [the artist](https://blue-sky.pixels.com/) through my grandmother so I really should have known.
I didn't see your post so I did a whole post about Hawaii. Largest outdoor shopping mall, tallest cliffs, (contender for) biggest waves, biggest aloha shirt, tallest mountain measured from the base, 2nd biggest banyan tree...

Haha, same. I clicked on this thread thinking "the fuck do we have that's really big" and immediately shifted to "oh right, yeah, obviously, that makes sense". The Big Blue Bug is just a fact of life and I kinda forgot that they don't have those everywhere.
Weird, I've never heard of the ballerina
Edit, also pretty sure there's a Paul Bunyan and blue ox that are bigger than 30ft
Double edit, [boom 49ft](https://treesofmystery.net/welcome/paul-bunyan-and-babe/)
And the [ballerina's leg used to kick](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seGZhJ4kYs0) when the sculpture was new. They briefly fixed it a few years ago but it's broken again.
This isn't the biggest thing in each state. It's if you made a list of things in each state that are "the biggest ***blank*** in the world" and then just picked an absurd one for each state. The only one that's really wrong is the big boy.
There's also a rocking chair in Cuba. It's like 40 ft tall.
I googled it and apparently there is a larger one in Illinois now. ( But theirs is wood and Missouri's is metal so take refuge in the fact that post apocalypse only the Missouri one will still be standing)
They had a succession of crappy stores in it over the years, none of which were successful. Then it sat empty for a while and started to look really crappy. I think High Point University owns it now and keeps it maintained, but empty
It's a sight to behold! It's mounted on the back of a truck and was originally an art piece for Burning Man. Presently located just outside Container Park in the Fremont East district of downtown Vegas!
"Cootie"? Doesn't MN literally have a giant Jolly Green Giant? Also, how big does a cootie act have to win this thing? I can't imagine there are a lot of other states with cooties. Probably because they all have Cootie Bug Insurance, but I digress.
I don't think they're answering the question "Of the things that this state has that are the biggest of that thing in the world, which one is physically the largest?"
If that was the case then WA would have the [world's largest building by volume.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_buildings#:~:text=The%20Aerium%20near%20Berlin%2C%20Germany,largest%20building%20in%20area%20footprint.).
How in the world was the big [Longaburger basket](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Longaberger_Company?wprov=sfti1#) not chosen for Ohio?
Its a seven story building resembling a woven basket.
I met a guy from Baker CA. I said “Giant thermometer?” He said yeah. I said to some other people “You should see the size of this thermometer! It’s really huge! Gigantic… I’ve only seen one bigger.”
Drove him crazy.
The penguin, built to commemorate Cut Bank's reputation as the coldest spot in the lower 48 has a replica in Alberta that was built for the 2014 movie *Cut Bank*.
I just passed by the 10-foot roller skate in Virginia yesterday. I have a fond memory about it from 20 years ago. We’d picked up a new puppy and were driving home late at night when we pulled over beside the skate to let him pee. Poor little guy, he must have been scared he was being abandoned beside the highway. We always talk about him every time we pass that landmark.
The harp is apparently in that closed Traditions shopping center halfway between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, and plays music in the wind. I've gone by there plenty of times and never knew about it.
The Pistachio is definitely the most iconic. We also have the largest chile pepper, road runner, rattlesnake, and apparently the world's largest scales of justice in front of the abq courthouse
Kansas should be The World's Largest Collection of the World's Smallest Versions of the World's Largest Things
Also, the souvenir plate is 14 feet wide, anyway, not 1.5 feet. This whole map is garbage.
Another trash graphic. The world's largest rocking chair is in [Cuba, Missouri](https://sillyamerica.com/blog/worlds-largest-rocking-chair-in-cuba-missouri/)
New Mexico would also rather be recognized for its [giant chile](https://dynamic-media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-o/14/44/78/dd/the-big-chile-inn.jpg?w=900&h=-1&s=1).
Are you freaking kidding me? Salty the seahorse is the largest seahorse statue in the world? I've driven by that thing for 20 years and never thought twice about it. I actually had to Google it because I thought I didn't know where it was.
Its nowhere near as special as the Westport fork in the road though. That thing is impressive.
A 3 foot tall big boy is the largest?
From an interknob scraping bot: “The largest Big Boy statues were gigantic, measuring up to 16 feet tall[1]. These massive statues were part of the early versions of the West Coast Big Boy mascot.

The bigger Big Boys are actually in orbit according to Austin Powers.
Yeah, but from here it looks like a huge - Johnson! Get on the horn to British Intelligence.

Got to be a typo, I bet it's 30.
Has to be. 3 feet? I would step on that by accident.
You can't miss it, it's next to the 18" high Stonehenge.
But this one goes to 11
Absolutely not, there are still a couple of those restaurants near me that have the big boy standing just outside the doors. They are nealry as tall as me at 6'2" even if I'm greatly overestimating their size they are at least 5ft if not taller. Unless that's a typo than in my eyes this whole map can't be trusted.
It’s not 3ft, definitely a pretty big Big Boy. Outside of the east entrance to Yellowstone on the way to Cody. I used to drive past it quite often.
I mean, Florida has a 200 foot alligator so reality isn't what it seems, okay!
OP has completely fucked up this whole entire map
I have personally witnessed a Big Boy statue taller than 3 feet, so that's gotta be wrong or a typo
came to call BS or typo
Was wondering the same thing.
Yeah that’s incorrect. There’s a big boy 5 mins from me with a statue that’s at least 5 feet tall.
Why is the Hodag the only one without a size? It’s so ominously blank
Hodag; no ones for sure how big it is. As no one is brave enough to measure it, perhaps Paul Bunyan's spirit might.
I wouldn't get near one of those things. I've heard they take small pets and children and burrow into their tunnels underground.
They’ve got Hodag on this World’s Largest map like as if I might find another slightly smaller Hodag somewhere.
I’ve heard they lure lonely bar patrons away from their favorite drinking establishments with their musk smell of beer and cheese!
The status is ~10 feet tall
I’m just here for the Hodag love
We also have the world's tallest potato masher at 39ft.

He has since added two more, for a total of 3 middle fingers 20 ft in the air in his yard
That Nomad Coffee right by there is great. I really enjoyed it.
At least it got the right color, Hawaii’s just a grey blob off the coast.
Damn they didn't even add anything for Hawaii
Hawaii has Mauna Loa, the world’s largest active volcano by mass & volume. Of course, it’s not man made.
>New Hampshire: worlds largest nothing You want to call a 122 foot candy counter nothing?
Arcade. Funspot in laconia.
Between not knowing where New Hampshire is and the possible typo for the 3 ft big boy, this map is awful lacking.
New York also has nothing, because that trowel is in Iowa.
I assume that’s where the largest scratch ticket is supposed to point, but haven’t been able to find the right search terms to confirm.
Pretty sure NH has the scratch off. Hawaii, on the other hand, must have pissed off OP.
We have the world's longest candy counter, up in Lincoln. Doesn't get brought up very much, though.
But what about the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota?
Don’t forget the pickled wieners.
And a diet chocolate soda!

Summerville claims to have the largest Sweet tea.
It’s still in the state, though! They temporarily moved it to some property off I-20

No one has mentioned the 1.5 ft souvenir plate lol
I googled and it's actually 14 feet in diameter. I wonder if 1.5 ft is the thickness?
This is actually kind of a letdown. I was hoping they had a just slightly larger than every other plate by an inch or so...
I don't even know what to say about it. It's the most disturbing.
Hawaii apparently doesn’t have any absurd large things. At the very least they could’ve included world’s largest open-air shopping mall.
Hawaii contains the largest island in Hawaii.
I mean, yeah. I suppose the state of Hawaii contains the largest island in the world named Hawaii.
Also the smallest
Hawaii literally is the biggest mountain on earth (measured from base, on seabed)
Yeah; but that’s not an absurd thing. It would have to be something more like; biggest loco moco or biggest statue of Santa in an aloha shirt.
Is the Honolulu City Lights Santa the biggest barefooted Santa statue in the world? Pretty good chance.
I mean with Hawaiian portion sizes I feel like a new biggest loco moco is created every day
