CONCORD, N.H. - The bouncing mega-meatball record has landed in the East Coast.

Matthew Mitnitsky, owner of Nonni's Italian Eatery in Concord, said Sunday that a 222.5-pound meatball was authenticated as the world's largest after being weighed by state weights and measures officials.

A Guinness Book of World Records official confirmed the big meatball as a record breaker and presented Mitnitsky with a plaque.

Some places, people have to walk miles to get water and are hungry all around the clock.

Other places, we waste food to look cool.

Yeah those people don't live here though and Obama's on it so we're good.

And I don't really understand why they don't just move closer to the water.

How many animals does it take to make a meatball that large?

I always wondered the same thing.
If you need to walk for miles everyday to get water, you might as well build shelter closer to the water.
Floods and such are problems which prevent them from building very close to water. But miles away seems a bit far.

No sarcasm.

Why would I be sarcastic? I think if they moved it would all be good.

222.5 pounds worth. That's like less than the weight of a cow I think. But more importantly, how many cars can this crush if it were rolled down a hill?
