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 grower in Maine has set a new North American record after producing a 170-pound zucchini. Local outlet WGME reported the achievement, drawing amused reactions online, with many joking about how much zucchini bread the giant squash could make — and whether its size would leave it too large and woody to be any good for baking.

Why now: The sheer size of the record-breaking zucchini is an eye-catching, lighthearted story people enjoy sharing.
