FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- It's a lesson in pop art these Fort Lauderdale students won't forget - seventeen-feet of tasty popcorn in the shape of a giant Mickey Mouse.
Seven students from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale are trying to take the title of world's largest popcorn sculpture. The group started creating the mega-Mickey sculpture yesterday for an episode of Food Network Challenge, which will air in October.
The students spent 12 hours manually mixing Fiberglas resin with popcorn to make 12. Next, they'll use heavy-duty power tools to carve the five-thousand-pound mouse out of the blocks.
Food Network will ship the sculpture and the team to Disneyland last this month where they'll have 10 hours to assemble and decorate the sculpture with food coloring and sugar.
A sixteen-and-a-half foot Godzilla created in Stirling, United Kingdom, in 2003 currently holds the record for world's largest popcorn sculpture.
