Pictures Animation
CANCÚN, Mexico -- To promote their upcoming film
"Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs", Sony

lbs (49.5 kg) meatball-setting the world record for the largest
meatball.
Commenting on the announcement, Hannah
Minghella, president of production for Sony Pictures Animation,
said, “During the production of this movie we had a lot of
fun creating the look, texture and sounds of the giant-sized
meatballs (among other foods) that Flint makes rain from
the sky... and now we know what they taste like.”
Aafter the record for the largest
meatball was confirmed, the meatball was cut up into
normal-sized portions and served to everyone at the record-setting
event. The Hotel’s Executive chef Rainer
Zinngrebe along with banquet chef Aldo Novoa accomplished
the appetizing feat, surpassing a previous Guinness world
record for the largest
meatball set in 2008 that stood at 32.93 kg, or 72
lbs., 9 oz.
