Ohio Man Teams Up With His Granny, 95, To Make The World's Largest Oreo

Ross Smith and his 95-year-old grandmother sought to shatter a world record — they might have made the world’s largest Oreo cookie.

Smith, a social media influencer in Ohio, told Columbus-based WSYX that he and his grandmother “decided we were going to go bigger and better” after learning the size of the world’s largest Oreo.

“Granny and I do crazy public pranks with our friends, scare people in public, and ask college students funny questions,” Smith explains on his YouTube account of his social-media content with his grandma. Amid the “craziest things you could ever see,” he also wished the “QUEEN” a happy 95th birthday on Sunday (August 1). He wrote: “Thanks for spreading love & making life more enjoyable for me and many others. Thanks for showing us that you can enjoy life no matter what age you are. Cheers to many more.”

Guinness World Records shows that a massive cookie weighed in at about 161 pounds and 13 ounces — 73.4 kilograms — in April of 2018. It became the “largest cream filled biscuit.” The Mondelēz Bahrain Biscuits W.L.L. staff made it “to mark the opening of a new factory in Bahrain” that produces the beloved cookie.

"I would like to congratulate the Bahrain biscuits team for their determination to achieve this milestone; it was wonderful to see the team come together and join forces to make history, especially at such a momentous occasion with the official plant inauguration taking place,” Director Mohamed Shalaby told Guinness World Records at the time.

The Ohio grandmother-and-grandson duo, however, may have smashed the record with a giant cookie that weighed in at about 175 pounds and measured about 4 feet wide. WSYX notes that Smith’s cookie measurements exceed 7,000 times the size of a normal Oreo.
