Largest Box of Doughnuts

It's not every day that 28,000 square feet of grass is rolled onto the Hawthorne Bridge  for a giant picnic and the famous Voodoo Doughnuts guys show up to the party to try to break a world record.

That's exactly what went on the bridge, which was transformed from a busy thoroughfare that connects the eastside and west side of town to a quiet, peaceful park setting with a birds-eye view of the Willamette River. Voodoo delivered a jumbo-sized pink box filled with 3,880 doughnuts to the Hawthorne Bridge; the giant, pink cardboard box measured nearly 200 cubic feet and ended up weighing 666 pounds- setting the new world record for the Largest box of doughnuts.

The previous world record   for the largest box of doughnuts was a Krispy Kreme Box  which weighed 135 Kg and was set by The Kuwait food Company  Americana in Kuwait. About 1400 persons had assembled there and all of them got their due share of doughnuts.

Tres Shannon co owner of Voodoo Doughnuts said that  they might have as well set another record of delivering 666 pounds of doughnuts in just 45 minutes. Shannon further added that the  setting of the world record  there was the best way  to give back to the city of Portland that had been so good to them.

The Largest box of doughnuts weighed  666 pounds  and was  set by Voodoo Doughnuts  at Portland, Oregon, United States of America on August 8, 2011.
