August 3, 2008: Instant Record
Make that instant coffee record.
Quote:
A new Guinness World Record has been set for the largest coffee cup by Vinacafe Bien Hoa, the biggest coffee producer in Vietnam, with the aim of the record to promote Vietnamese coffee worldwide.
The stainless steel structure was constructed by more than 100 people and is 5.02 feet tall, with a diameter of 7.644 feet.
Weighing in at 2,639 lbs, the cup contained 952 gallons of coffee, made with 1,766 lbs of instant coffee powder, and 1,057 gallons of boiled water.

I don't know how they got 952 gallons of coffee from 1,057 gallons of water... unless 105 gallons is the Central Committee's cut.
Why go to all that trouble and expense just to end up with a cup of instant?
