The World's Largest Watermelon Was Grown in Tennessee - Apparently.
In 2013, Chris Kent of Tennessee grew a watermelon that weighed 350.5 pounds, setting the Guinness World Record for the largest watermelon. The massive fruit was 67.5 inches in circumference and 25.5 inches in diameter, making it larger than a small bucket. The record-breaking watermelon was displayed at the Tennessee State Fair, where it was admired by thousands of visitors. The massive watermelon was later donated to a local food bank, where it was used to feed those in need.
