‘World’s Largest Potato’ Ruled Out by Guinness for Not Being a Potato

Guinness World Records says the latest candidate for largest potato doesn’t qualify, because it’s not even a potato! Donna and Colin Craig-Brown, New Zealand gardeners, thought they may have had a world record-breaking spud, but Guinness won’t be giving them any plaques for this giant! After submitting an application with pictures and a specimen, Guinness World Records sent an email to the Craig-Browns letting them know they had a tuber from a gourd, not a potato.
