When you have too much free time on your hand and fame just isn’t coming your way, here’s one thing you can try: big the biggest thing that hasn’t gotten to the Guinness Record Book and enjoy some attention. Here are a few of the most useless biggest things we have come across. The last question you need to ask is “why?”!

Is it just me or are all the world’s biggest & most useless things in the USA?
looks like you use it…
once again… nothing exists outside of the US. Fucking retard.
Only in America are people retarded enough to make giant shit like this. But then again, all Americans are pretty fat, so they need huge things.
You forgot the Longaberger Basket Company home office. While not technically ‘useless’ (it is a building afterall), it’s still absurd

Where is the Eiffel Tower??
Is it just me or is the world’s biggest & most useless thing the USA?
Why, to take pictures with of course!
The giant tire used to have a giant nail in it. They auctioned it on eBay.
We drive past it all the time. Considering it’s Michigan, it’s supposed to be a tribute to the automobile industry… the one that’s failing hardcore at the moment…
I totally disagree that three giant beers are useless.
You forgot the giant fist in downtown Detroit.
The giant lobster near the top served to drag tourists into a neat little art mall in Key Largo, FL. The mall has since gone out of business, but the lobster is still there, and may even be for sale.
The giant aluminum baseball bat is actually in Edmonton, AB, Canada; corner of 97th and 118th Ave.
“Is it just me or are all the world’s biggest & most useless things in the USA?”
The name of the article is obviously wrong and should be “America’s Biggest Useless Things”. A list of the world’s biggest useless things would start with 1) Asia, 2) Europe, and 3) Canada. The only contribution they make it to provide some fraction of our goods. Thanks! Now go back to work, I might need another watch, some bad pop music, or an egg roll.
The beer cans are silos probably for water and the teapot is a house, neither are “useless”
thats a pretty good sized can of Olde Style.
Im not sure that egg beater is considered hand held anymore
These items aren’t useless at all, they’re great advertising. Or would you rather have yet another billboard? Essentially, if these items are useless than all art is useless. Or do you not think they hired an artist to construct them?
There is a pretty great piece in San Francisco of a giant arrow piercing the ground. It is supposed to be Cupid’s arrow, because Tony Bennett “left his heart” in San Fran.
Anthony: way to sound ignorant and racist at the same time. Where do you think all those goods in Wal-Mart are made? Where do you think American cars are made? Not in America. Are you really that out of it, or are you a silly little troll? I am sad for you.
Actually, most cars sold in America are made in America. This is because the import taxes are very high. Why else do you think Nissan and Toyota and Honda have opened plants in the US? It’s to get around that pesky import tax. I used to drive a Nissan Sentra that was made in Tennessee. Seriously. (MInd you, the *parts* aren’t always made in the US. Those don’t suffer the same steep import tax as complete cars do, so they can be made abroad, often in Mexico, and imported.)
I was amused to see the giant buffalo from Jamestown, North Dakota on the list. Growing up, we used to drive from the Twin Cities to Bozeman, Montana via I-94, which goes right through Jamestown. The giant buffalo was one of our waypoints.
i notice a few of these things had their location in the picture, but several didn’t. i wish you had put the location of the items. i’d like to go see them! and all you america bashers- you sure don’t bash when you’ve got your hand out for us to save your sorry asses from some mess. shut up.
There’s a bigger lobster in Shediac, New brunswick, Canada.
The Egg Beater, Is from Prince Edward Island, Canada. my friends father made it, and i’v always enjoyed it
dude..did you even look at Australia
there are so many ‘big’ things there
look it up
These photos were ripped off from real live people on the internet. No credit to the photographers and I’m sure no permission to use the photos. This is tacky, rude, lazy and illegal.
touchdown jesus!
