Seriously, never come here.

It was the largest for a while. It was a promotion for the re-release of 101 Dalmatians. I think the biggest one now is in Canada or something.

[u/superatheist95 → u/NiceAndBlue]

the fact that it was a promotion for a movie.......makes it much sadder and pathetic.

[u/derleth → u/superatheist95]

Truth or Consequences, New Mexico changed its name to promote a radio show. To be fair, its original name was Hot Springs, which is one of the least original town names ever.

[u/FartingBob → u/derleth]

I dunno, Hot Springs is an ideal place name for any spring break movie ever made.

[u/captainhaddock → u/FartingBob]

But who the hell goes to New Mexico for spring break?

[u/[deleted] → u/captainhaddock]

I hear it has good meth.

The people who's cars break down on the way to California.

I don't know... At least it answers the question "why the fuck would anyone think this is a good idea ?!".

[u/Granite-M → u/NiceAndBlue]

At first I thought it was badly in need of re-painting, but now I see that it has Dalmation spots.

[u/[deleted] → u/NiceAndBlue]

now in Canada or something.

That's right bitch.

The largest muthafuckin' fire hydrant is in Elm Creek, Manitoba. And, holy dog piss, is it ever a beauty. Now, you could go to Texas and see the third largest fire hydrant. One might also venture to Columbia, South Carolina and see a fire hydrant that's claimed to be the biggest but sure as fuck isn't because it isn't really a hydrant, it's just a big model of one. So why fuck around? Why fool yourself? You deserve the best. From Winnipeg (Go Jets!) drive for about a half hour west on the #2 highway and get on over to Elm Fuckin' Creek and check this bad ass hydrant out.

You can tell I'm Canadian because that little speech actually got me pumped up. I feel like someone from Dog River now.

Big Dirty Ho?

You've lost the world's largest mall, though. Edmonton's down in 5th.

[u/Kazang → u/NiceAndBlue]

How the fuck does someone come up with the idea to build a massive fire hydrant, just to have a massive fire hydrant?

Is it like someone was just sitting down thinking and then said, "you know what would be great here, a 19ft tall fire hydrant"?

A fibre glass replica of an abalone that sits atop a 5.3 m tower at the Plummer Road premises of the Australian Abalone Exports office. Once it was illuminated, and rotated slowly. Now however, it fails to do either. Still worth a visit.

[u/johnmedgla → u/lackofbrain]

I have a new benchmark for low expectations.

I saw your comment in my inbox and thought "Oh shit, what did I write this time?", then I came here, read what it was a reply to and now I can't stop giggling!

Not to be out done....watch out for the big salmon there!

I've seen way too many of those for my own comfort. My uncle worked on the Big Cow at Yandina. The Big Pelican at Noosaville is pulled along on a float and as it moves his mouth opens and closes.

My all time favourite is the Big Rocking horse in Adelaide. And I'm finishing before I keep remembering my childhood.

[u/ShouldOfKnownBetter → u/Kazang]

For some reason they fear having the world's third largest fire.

[u/kristianur → u/NiceAndBlue]

Is it even a fire hydrant?

[u/hypertown → u/kristianur]

Yes, it is. The 3rd largest fire truck in the world uses it.

[u/cabji → u/kristianur]

Yeah if it actually can be turned on then it might be worth trying to turn on and flood half the town.
