East Glacier, Montana: World's Largest Purple Spoon

Is East Glacier really the home of the world's largest purple spoon?

Well, that's what the sign says, and who are we to disagree? But, if you find a bigger one, let us know and we'll change the name of this page. 

(However, that the sign shown here has a "maybe" on it to indicate there might be a bigger purple spoon somewhere else.) 

The one is called "Big Martha," and it weighs 200 pounds. It's a fine way to attract the attention of utensil-buying tourists who pass through the area. We even stopped to look through the place, although we didn't buy anything.

It's by the Spiral Spoon Shop, and - sure enough - there are all sorts of spoons on display. The big spoon goes unrepresented on YouTube, but at least the store has a video on it.
