Maine grower sets North American record with 170-pound zucchini

Original: That's a lot of zucchini bread! (maybe not so great for zucchini bread) WGME: Maine grower sets new North American recor

A Maine grower has set a new North American record by producing a zucchini weighing around 170 pounds, an unusually large specimen for a vegetable typically grown for eating. The giant squash is being compared to the legendary racehorse Secretariat for its record-setting stature. Commenters are joking that such an enormous zucchini would be far too big and likely too tough to bake into zucchini bread.

Why now: A lighthearted, surprising record-breaking vegetable story is making the rounds online.
