Anyone who tells you things are always bigger and better in America is wrong. Just look at this 6,600-foot long sausage that was unveiled at the Kobasicijada festival in Turija, Serbia.
Seriously. Look at it.
It's 7,562 pounds of sweet, savory meat, expertly removed from 28 pigs. And if that fact alone weren't mouthwatering enough, try this one on for size: There are also 132 pounds of salt, 57 pounds of ground dried paprika and 22 pounds of black pepper and paprika on the inside of the sausage, the AP says. What the what.
The festival, which celebrated its 31st year on Feb. 28, creates behemoth-sized sausages every year, breaking its previous record by a few centimeters each time.
Festival-goers enjoyed chopped up bits of it after it was measured and photographed. And who said the Atkins diet was a temporary fad?
