Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Nov. 2, 2008. Breaking the Guinness Record for the world’s largest pinata, according to an onsite Guinness adjudicator, the giant mock donkey measures 28.5 meters long; 7.2 meters wide and 18 meters tall and is filled with 8,000 pounds (3,628 kilograms) of candy. A wrecking ball is to be used later on Sunday to help smash the pinata during a public event, where Carnival Cruise Lines is producing a television commercial.
