In recognition of National Lemonade Day, which apparently was today (August 20th), Chick-fil-A restaurant operator Arthur Greeno and his Tulsa (Eastside Market), Oklahoma team created an 839 gallon cup of lemonade. The monster drink, officially certified this morning by a Guinness Book of World Records rep, was mixed in a nearly 1,100-gallon fiberglass cup designed to resemble Chick-fil-A's signature foam cup and contained 1,050 lbs. (2,175 cups) of sugar, 580 gallons of water, 250 lbs. of ice and 11,730 Sunkist® lemons that yielded 145 gallons of lemon juice.
After official measurements were taken, the nearly bottomless cup of lemonade supplied several "Sunkist Take a Stand" lemonade stands set up outside the restaurant as a way to collect donations to benefit Little Light House, a Tulsa-based developmental center serving young children with special needs. Chick-fil-A says the fundraising goal of $10,000 was achieved on event day, with additional funds still coming in.
From the press release:
"When Arthur approached us with the idea to pursue the Guinness World Record for the largest glass of lemonade, we were quickly won over by his enthusiasm and commitment to achieving this ambitious goal," said Sunkist representative Sarah Matejowsky. "We quickly coordinated the delivery of 108 complimentary crates of lemons [approximately 12,400 lemons] and helped spearhead Arthur's charitable efforts as part of our 'Take a Stand' initiative. We couldn't be prouder to be part of such a fun and worthwhile endeavor."
Greeno and his restaurant team members are no strangers to larger-than-life exploits. Last year, Greeno and his team created a 130-gallon Hand-Spun Milkshake -- while the feat did not achieve a Guinness World Record, it certainly turned heads in Tulsa.
I guess that to get the personal loans from banks you must present a great motivation. However, once I have got a credit loan, just because I wanted to buy a car.
