Farmers in Australia were left "stoked" when they noticed that among the blueberries they picked, there was one as big as a golf ball and weighing significantly more than average.

The giant blueberry, which is 39.31mm wide and weighs 20.4 grams - much more than the average of between 1 gram and 3.5 grams - was picked at a farm in Corindi, New South Wales, in November last year. On Tuesday, Guinness World Records publicly declared it the biggest blueberry in the world - a title previously held by a 16.2 grams berry with a diameter of 36.33mm grown in Western Australia.

In my experience as a blueberry eater, the bigger the berry, the weaker the juice. Blueberries already barely have any flavor without turning it into a jam or sauce or pie filling, and the bigger they are the less they taste like anything. One the size of a golf ball must taste like pure air, but with terrible texture.
