A basketball-sized grapefruit has brought two world records to a Louisiana couple.
The giant citrus grew in the yard of Mary Beth and Doug Meyer of Slidell.It weighed 7 pounds, 14.6 ounces and measured 28¾ inches around. That's almost as big around as an NBA basketball.
The grapefruit was 13.6 ounces heavier and 1¼ inches bigger around than the 2006 record, set in Brazil. State Agriculture and Forestry Commissioner Mike Strain presented a Guinness certificate to the couple Tuesday in Baton Rouge. His department provided the equipment for the official weighing and measuring in January.
