OSLO (November 12, 2009)— Sultan Koesen of Turkey, who stands 8-foot-1, has unveiled the world’s largest gingerbread man, which weighs in a 1,435 pounds, at an Ikea outlet in the Norwegian capital of Oslo.
Baked locally in the traditional gingerbread man shape, it beat the previous gingerbread cookie record of 1,307 pounds set in 2006 in Smithville, Texas.
Ikea spokesman Jan Thommesen says Guinness Book of World Records representative Kelly Gerret awarded the furniture store a world record diploma on Thursday as part of the publication's World Records Day.
The Guinness Book of World Records declared Koesen the tallest living man in September.
