Jewish Groups Attempt World Record for Largest Bread: Because Why Not?
In the latest installment of “things we never knew we needed,” Jewish groups in New York have joined forces with a Brooklyn bakery to create a 35-foot challah bread in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record.
Yes, you read that correctly. A 35-foot challah bread. Because apparently, breaking a world record is more important than creating a bread that’s actually edible.
The process of creating the bread was nothing short of a spectacle. The bakery had to use cranes to move the dough around, and it took over 100 people to complete the baking process. But really, who needs bread that you can actually eat when you can have a massive, record-breaking creation that’s more akin to an art installation than an actual loaf of bread?
While we’re sure that the Jewish communities involved had a grand old time breaking this record, we can’t help but wonder: what’s the point? Is there any real benefit to creating a bread that’s so massive it’s basically unusable?
Perhaps it’s a statement on the excess in our society – after all, who needs practicality when you can have a 35-foot-long loaf of bread? Or maybe it’s a commentary on the obsession with breaking world records, no matter how pointless said records may be.
Regardless of the reasoning behind this endeavor, one thing is for sure: it’s certainly garnered a lot of attention. In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised if other groups start attempting even more ridiculous records in order to get their moment in the spotlight.
So, congratulations to the Jewish groups and bakery involved in this record-breaking debacle. You may have created the largest bread in the world, but was it really worth it? We’ll let you be the judge.
