The New York State Fair opened today for its 161st season, and also reveiled the fair’s annual butter sculpture. Sculpted by Jim Victor, the buttery rendition features a cow and her calf.
Here are some fun facts about the 2007 butter sculpture:
This year’s butter sculpture used about 800 pounds of butter. The sculpture weighs as much as:
1. 445 copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
2. 2664 iPhones
3. 110 Nintendo Wii systems
4. 2.6 Sumo Wrestlers
It’s also enough for:
1. 25,600 servings of Fettuccini Alfredo (mixed with 4,267 pounds of pasta).
2. 4,800 loaves of Garlic Bread.
3. Enough to dip 8,533 lobsters
4. Enough to spread on 38,400 ears of sweet corn.
