A brick made from a lot of little bricks, the over sized ad for Jenkins Brick Company was once officially recognized as the largest brick in the world until it was dethroned by a larger brick from Denton, TX, in 2007. But because the Alabama brick is made of other bricks, it is still considered as the world’s largest brick…made of bricks.

It is a 600 pounds clown head on tops a 50 foot grain silo. This Wild Bill’s Nostalgia center advertisement is so creepy that taking a selfie with the World’s Largest Jack-in-the-Box is a challenge in itself.

Ponce de Leon searched for the fountain of youth his entire life and never came close of finding it. If he only knew that what he has been searching for was in Delaware all this time, then maybe he could still be alive to tell his story today. But before any of you are planning to go visit the fountain of youth in Delaware, it is best not to have high hopes because the well has long since dried up.

5. Hawaii
