The company said it took a team of about 100 people around 53 hours to prepare the giant, fluffy treat.

The marshmallow weighed in at 1,429.47 pounds, more than a 1,058-pound Steinway D274 grand piano, GWR said. A GWR adjudicator was on hand to verify the colossal confection beat the previous record of 205.25 pounds, set by Britain's Berkhamsted School in 2019.
