I'm glad we took care of feeding all the homeless before we did this:

8,076 Foot Burrito Built at Nevada Fair
RENO, Nev. - Volunteers ladled refried beans and slathered on the sour cream and salsa in Reno in an attempt to get into the record books. If accepted by the Guinness Book of World Records, the giant burrito crafted at the Nevada State Fair on Sunday will be the one to beat.
The big burrito measured 8,076 feet in length and used more than 8,200 four tortillas, 2,000 pounds of refried beans and 1,000 pounds each of sour cream, cheese and salsa.
If recognized, the Reno burrito will surpass the previous burrito record of 7,710 feet that was set in Mexico in 2001.
Nevada State Fair officials wanted to put Reno and the state fair on the international map, so they hired "Big Willie" Davidson to oversee the 160 volunteers.
Davidson set a previous burrito record of 5,312 feet in Deadwood, S.D. in 1994.
"When I told them what was involved, everyone looked at me like I was crazy," Davidson said. "But we got it done. I know we've met all the requirements.
"We'll send the documentation to Guinness in England and we'll know in three or four weeks if it's official."
Sunday's monster snack was all for show. Because it took about two hours to construct, organizers feared the sour cream could be contaminated with bacteria, so none was eaten.
"Sour cream and sunshine don't mix," said one volunteer.

They couldn't even fucking eat it!!
I'm so sick of stupid towns trying to one-up each other by making the biggest x ever. It's a waste of time, money, and resources. Why can't the people donate the food, time, and resources to the freaking salvation army instead of doing this pointless shit?
I think the Guiness Book of World Records should stop accepting these types of submissions.
Thoughts?
