 Longest french fry - world record set by John Benbenek
 BUFFALO, NY, USA -- John Benbenek was eating lunch at Taffy's Hot Dog Stand the other day when he grabbed a 34-inch french fry from a pile of curly fries - which sets the new world record for the Longest french fry.

   Taffy's hand cuts its curly fries, and this produces fries of considerable length, though most break apart during or after frying, Eliah said.

    Benbenek is storing the fry in his freezer, but he hasn't insured the fried spud.

    Benbenek and co-worker Ryan Vedder, who was also at Taffy's, want to sell the fry on eBay. If they sell it, Benbenek will get 70 percent of the price and Vedder will get 30 percent, because it was Benbenek’s order of fries.

     “It’s crazy,” said Richard Eliah, Taffy’s owner.

   The previous Guinness World Record for the Longest french fry was a nearly 24-inch french fry from an Arby's in South Carolina.
