attack of the giant pinatas



What if every city had giant party pinatas filled with candy, dancing in the streets? Why not? Maybe our new president could make that happen.

In the meantime, there's the Carnival Cruise Lines promotion, featuring a ginormous pinata filled with 8000 pounds of sugary delicious goodness. About a week ago, they produced the world's largest beach balls, and now they're cracking open the world's largest pinata, all over the streets of Philadelphia.

(We should send these to countries in need of aid. Giant food pinatas, filled with essentials like Mary Janes, Milk Duds and Pixie Stix. We'll air drop them, like pinata bombs.)

Here's some behind the scenes footage of the Philly pinata being built. Sounds like a giant party, which I guess is the point.

Why do I have a feeling this visual will now inspire a new social media phrase meaning project gone awry: A Trojan PiƱata.
