World's Largest Sushi Roll at UMass Amherst!

The UMass Amherst community set a world record on Labor Day 2010 when more than 300 volunteers gathered on the Haigis Mall to assemble a monstrous California sushi roll which, at 422 feet, was more than 90 feet longer than one created at the University of California, Berkeley last fall. Thousands of new and returning students gathered for the event as Chancellor Robert Holub and Food Network chef Jet Tila presided over the massive assembly line, along with auxiliary enterprises executive director Ken Toong, famous for large community food celebrations emphasizing nutrition and sustainability.

Dumbest thing I've ever seen. Do people get jobs after going to UMass?

@SeethingGreen You got THAT right!

@MangaArtRay Yes, we as a country are very wasteful, I agree. But damn do we make good movies and music.

@SeethingGreen America is just a wasteful country...

[ilovemomomimi]

this world's record is so boring and pointless

[SeethingGreen]

@LPerlbinder Oh man! But I thought it was a Cali roll? That fake crab does not go bad for about 10 hours.

Congrats on the record, but that just seems really wasteful. Could have fed hundreds of people!

@SeethingGreen Hi, actually the sushi roll was not eaten. There was concern about the amount of time that the fish was not refrigerated, so it was best to make sure no one became ill. The record stands and UMass Dining rocks!

I'd like to see if they really ate that thing, or threw it away.

I know you guys are trying to remove the UMass "party" stigma. But, having 420 feet is not helping. Haha oh well, cool world record.
