World's Biggest Doughnut Box: Voodoo Doughnuts Is Hell-Bent On Making Us All Obese

On Saturday, Voodoo Doughnut of Portland, OR set a new record for the largest box of doughnuts ever. The bakery's 7x7x5 pink box weighed in at a hefty, devilish 666 pounds. (The weight intentionally fit in with the shop's eponymous "voodoo" theme.) The Guinness Book Of World Records team was on hand to confirm that Voodoo Doughnuts had broken the world record. According to NBC Bites, there were 3,880 doughnuts in the box. The doughnuts held in the box were sold in Voodoo's three Portland stores over the weekend, an employee told HuffPost Food.

According to that same employee, the biggest container Voodoo Doughnuts normally sells is called a "coffin." It costs $100 and contains three "Voodoo Dozens," each containing 13 doughnuts. At "coffin" pricing, the record-breaking box would cost $10,000.

I'll take a Voodoo over a Neopolitan Oreo any day.

Hey, fatyfobes, don't bother me, I'm licking my fingers.

In case you've never experienced a Voodoo doughnut, get to it. My favorite is the chocolate chip apple fritter. Hmmmmm, stiiiicky gooy good. Each doughnut is a classic piece of pop art. That's right, pop it in your mouth and feel your sugar levels spin.

Only if it provides free coffee too!  In my area, Dunkin Donuts gives them free coffee - you can always find the cops there if you need them.

DISAGREE!!!!

They've been bad boys and don't deserve such a treat. Let them eat Crispy Creams. Voodoos are for the fringe. Where else can one find incredible edibles the shape of......lower extremities. Gives a whole new meaning to buns.

Love me some bacon maple bars. Theirs are the best. We had them at our wedding in their original 3rd St location.

I'm a vegetarian and I love the maple bacon bars. Do you still live here? They just expanded the 3rd ave one.
