"Dedicated in 1974, the molded aluminum bean honors the peanut industry of surrounding Bryan County. The giant shelled nut sits atop a pedestal that proudly proclaims it as the world’s largest peanut, however this is strictly untrue as it is minuscule in comparison to the oversize snack on display atop a tower in Ashburn, Georgia," the Atlas Obscura says.

"The simple monument is still a popular tourist site and roadside attraction, where visitors come to snap a picture next to the statue, justifying its false claims. The nut was so popular in fact that it was repeatedly stolen by local teens so the police removed it for a time in 2010, but the beloved peanut was quickly returned.
