Related: About this forumHoly guacamole! Kona woman finds possibly record-size avocado
KAILUA-KONA Pamela Wang was out for a morning stroll Sunday when a world record dropped at her feet.
Or what appears to be a world record, at least.
Wang, who lives in Kealakekua near Konawaena High School, was on a brief walk to grab her paper when she stumbled across the largest avocado shes ever seen and, perhaps, the largest avocado anyone has ever seen.
I see avocados every day and I pick up avocados every day, but this one it was hard to miss, she said. It was as big as my head.
The avocado was a Daily 11, a type known for its mammoth size. Yet, even among Daily 11s, the green fruit Wang scooped up Sunday loomed a monster, weighing in at 5 pounds, 3.68 ounces.
