Description:

The World's Largest Box of Raisins sits at the office entrance to Sun-Maid raisins, a little plant that’s been in its original location since it’s inception. At one time, it did actually hold raisins, but the box is now empty for obvious reasons.

The creation of the box was a part of Dr. William E. Rice’s Marketing Block class at California State University – Fresno. In an interview with him, he told of the 1992 record, officially recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records. The Marketing Block class broke a total of 5 World Records, but stopped attempting records after the failure of the Worlds Largest Fruit Cocktail.

After the creation of the World’s Largest Box of Raisins, the marketing class donated it to the Sun-Maid plant, with a dedication by Gayle Wilson, wife of California Gov. Pete Wilson in celebration of Sun-Maid’s 80th anniversary.

In addition to housing the World’s Largest Box of Raisins, Sun-Maid is the World’s Favorite Raisin, with the World’s Most Recognized Food Icon.
