Snapple Ice Pops

I wish I was in Union Square last night so that I could have seen the giant Snapple popsicle disaster. Snapple, trying to make the largest ice pop ever, failed, and it melted all over Union Square. Apparently there was some problem when they had to put it upright in order to qualify for the Guinness Book of Records. The rats in the sewers must have loved all the Snapple that was all over the place.

This reminds me, how great a job would it be to be the Guinness World Records inspector? First of all, you probably get to go to all these exotic locales and see all sorts of exciting things. Secondly, you are the arbiter in determining if it's even a success. In the case of the ice pop, the Guinness guy gets to say, "Nice ice pop, but it's got to be upright."
