This weekend, the Spanish town of Pulpi set a new world record for the world's largest salad. The salad, which was tossed on Saturday, weighed 6,700 kilograms and consisted of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, peppers and olives. Twenty cooks took three hours to toss the salad, which will be distributed to Pulpi restaurants to serve to their clients for free.
I'm not sure why they decided to go for this record, but I'm always amazed by the amount of food that is used in these sort of things. What about you, what do you think of this record?

What is the point of this? did people get to eat the salad? Did they send it to a third-world nation? Seems like a waste all for some lousy record.
1That's a lot of fiber.
2i wanna puke
3These records always seem such a waste of food to me
4At least it's going to get eaten! I'm always fascinated by stuff like this.
5WHERES THE DRESSING!!!!!!!
6Ewww...that looks gross.
7I hope there isn't a morron that'll try to eat all of that, though it looks quite tasty!
8i hope most of it gets eaten...
9It just doesn't seem sanitary to me, it looks like they're outside.
10Wow...that's pretty g-ross!!!
11looks like grass with flowers strewn everywhere
12I think records like this are pointless and wasteful. And, just because I'm a number cruncher who likes to quantify things:
That's 14,771 lbs of salad...Dole says a salad serving is 3 oz but for a round number let's figure a large serving of 4 oz...that means there are 59,084 servings of salad...I just looked up Pulpi and they have a population of 7,600...there's no way that's going to get eaten, free or not. What a waste.
13i agree with lexi. these kind of food records are so unsanitary. you know those cooks got sweaty when they mixed up the salad for 3 hours.
14waste of food!
15major food fight!
16I think they should send that food to people that actualy need it. what a waste!
17This kind of thing really pisses me off. It's frivolous and wasteful.
I wish they'd stop using food to try making world records.
Who really gives a crap about them, anyway?
*gggrrrr*
18WOW, thats a butt load of salad.
19blah. why did they go and do that? i guess they are actually serving it? ewww...
20wow...
21I would NOT eat this crizap!
22Wow, I hope it didn't go to waste!
23That looks kind of gross... maybe because there's just so much of it.
24I feel like the ingredients at the bottom would get squished into mulch . . . . .
