World's Largest Ball of Twine
Multiple US destinations have long been competing for the title of the world's biggest ball of twine. There are several claims to which is the biggest, with the most recent indication in 2014 that it's in Cawker City, Kansas.
Started by Frank Stoeber in 1953, the ball of twine weighed a staggering 19,873 pounds the last time it was measured in 2013. Plus, each year a twine-a-thon is held to add more twine into the mix, only helping it to grow larger.
