Why do Atlantic Canadians love big things so much?

Sydney unveils world's largest illuminated fiddle. "It's going to be a major tourist attraction," said Cyril Hearn, who built the oversized instrument.

Though there are other large fiddles displayed in Atlantic Canada – including one in Don Messer's hometown of Harvey, N.B., and another in Cavendish, P.E.I. – organizers are calling the Sydney fiddle the "world's largest illuminated fiddle" in hopes that it will be a major attraction for the city.

Here we have useless records such us:

The biggest barbeque
The biggest bread
The biggest pizza
The biggest hot-dog

and last but not least...

The biggest sausage.

1. Biggest illuminated fiddle. Hahahahaha!

2. Your list leaves out the big frog in Fredericton, making me question the research methods used to compile said list (also SAINT John is spelled wrong.)

3. Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota.

4. Basically I'm still laughing about the biggest illuminated fiddle.

You can probably submit things. I just picked the most complete site I could find.

Minnesota is not in Atlantic Canada.

Yeah, we Cape Bretoners are mighty proud of the accomplishments of Ashley MacIsaac!

There's a Rita MacNeil joke in here somewhere, but I'm not going to be the one to make it.

I think Atlantic Canada is suffering from the same 'size envy' syndrome as Northern Alberta. Scattered amongst various small towns we have the giant perogy, the giant easter egg and the giant stop sign (I haven't seen it, but from what I've heard, its ridiculously huge)!

Despite the aggressive and eager e-mails I get from Air Canada on a near-daily basis, I have no intention of travelling ANYWHERE to look at a giant illuminated fiddle.

Of course, I grew up in a city that had the tallest building in the world without a steel frame, as well as the largest fully functional pipe organ and the largest ringable bell.
