Arkansas delivers the weird we’re here for—giant spinach cans, 30-foot Mr. Peanuts, and the world’s largest Christmas pickle. Some of these we’ve visited, others are still on the list. When we’ve been somewhere, the link takes you to our photo page with details and snark. Otherwise, you’ll head to their official site (assuming one exists—sometimes that’s half the adventure).
