Giant Bratwurst Sign for Grand Champion Meats
Sign Builder Illustrated: Traffic driving past Grand Champion Meats is now being greeted by quite a sight—a giant bratwurst resting atop grilling fork prongs that host an illuminated sign cabinet and electronic message center (EMC).

This is absolutely hilarious and just so much fun. The kitschy signage and gigantic sausage remind me of driving through the middle of nowhere America and seeing signs with huge models of “the largest tinfoil ball” or “the hole to hell” or “ the tallest statue of the jolly green giant”. This is extremely nostalgic for me and just brings a smile to my face. It is simple and funny and kind of stupid but it makes me so incredibly happy that people not only had the idea to do this but that they also clearly put in so much effort and work to make it fun and look really good. I also think that the giant grill fork being used to skewer the huge Brautwurst is a very clever and genuinely very funny addition to the basic idea of a large sausage on top of a normal signpost which would be the easiest way to have made this.
