Web posted at: 2:00 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT)KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan (CNN) -- Students sometimes complain there's nothing to do on summer vacation, but 1,034 Taiwanese students were far from bored Sunday. They built the world's largest sandwich.
The massive meal stretched 1,874.6 feet (625 meters), topping the old world record by more than 1,000 feet. It used 1,320 pounds (600 kg) of bread and 3,080 pounds (1,400 kg) of meat and vegetables.
Kaohsiung's Chiang Kai-shek Athletic Stadium served as the kitchen for the undertaking, and afterward as the dining room for the hungry chefs.
