I just stumbled upon the worlds largest pickle.

looks fake, doubt that little lady would be able to even lift something that big.

She could probably hold it, but for the weight that it's got to have, either it's being supported elsewhere, or it's not real. That thing would be mostly water, so I'd say at least 80lbs for something that size. For such a weight, her hand doesn't appear adequately strained, or her fingers properly positioned to support it.

......It was about that time I realized that I didn't want that pickle

I don't want a pickle
Just want to ride on my motorsickle
And I don't want a tickle
'Cause I'd rather ride on my motorsickle
And I don't want to die
Just want to ride on my motorcy...cle

Not real.

so I'd say at least 80lbs for something that size.

Think of how heavy a large pumpkin is... That cucumber would weigh closer to 200 pounds if it were real.

edit: using her face for size, I'd estimate the radius of that cucumber is at least 10-12 inches. The length is easily 36 inches. Going with the lower estimate for radius: 10 inches, and roughly estimating by figuring the volume of a cylinder,
pi r^2 h = 11,310 cubic inches. That's a little over 6 1/2 cubic feet. Let's round it down to 5 cubic feet. A cucumber has about the same density as water. 62.416 pounds per cubic foot.

That thing is at least 300 pounds if it's real.

Way to ruin it. :p

The world's largest cucumber was grown in 1988 Australia. It weighed in at 59 pounds.

I am talking about a pickle not a cucumber.

If the world's largest cucumber gets "pickled" then it becomes...the world's largest pickle. Chances are that the world's largest cucumber would be even larger than the worlds largest pickle because they might not go through the extra step of pickling it.
