another Route 66 must....the giant ketsup bottle in the sky!

Well, if there’s ever been any confusion as to whether it’s “Ketchup” or “Catsup,” then this 170-foot bottle planted by the side of the highway in Collinsville, Illinois, crushes it. The largest bottle of ketchup (or, more correctly, catsup) in the world is actually a water tower proudly looming over the Collinsville skyline. Built in 1949 by a bottling company for Brooks original catsup, the bottle is now in the National Register of Historic Places and hosts an annual World’s Largest Catsup Bottle Festival in the summer
