Mega-packet of ketchup a record buster

Giant ketchup packet for fundraiser holds 127 gallons of the red stuff.

Pw 8129 6 Ketchupwrap

It wasn't enough that Collinsville, IL, the self-proclaimed horseradish capital of the world, is also home to the world's largest (170-ft tall) ketchup bottle. On July 28, the city added the new title as home to the world's largest ketchup packet. The packet would also claim the broader title of world's largest condiment packet.

The event, which drew attention from CNN and other media, served as a fundraiser for the local Son Life Church.

Filled with ketchup donated by Heinz, the mega-packet stands 8 ft tall and 4 ft wide, making it proportionally 32-times larger than Heinz's normal foodservice packet. It also carries proportionally sized graphics.

The question isn't if it is the world's largest ketchup packet, but if Guinness will recognize it as such.
