Snap Crackle Pop!
I just got back from the coffee shop with this monster:

a.k.a. The Largest Rice Krispies™ Treat I’ve Ever Seen.
Not impressed? Perhaps this will drop your jaw:

...and on its end (note that simultaneously focusing on the Treat™ and the iPod is beyond my camera’s capabilities. Such is the depth-of-field we’re dealing with):

...and one final shot for the ladies:

Should I eat the whole thing? No.
Could I eat the whole thing? Probably not.
Will I eat the whole thing? Probably.
Update: I ate the whole thing, as predicted. Jaws hurt. Also: feeling sick.
Looks like the monolith from 2001. Or Who’s Next.

you were suppose to share this colossal snack with me…where’s the love?

Oh yeah. Sorry about that. It became a battle of wills (and wits) between me and the Treat.

What’s that white thing next to it?

It’s my iPod. Note that it’s not one of those new-fangled mini iPods either; this is from back in the day, when iPods were like the size of a television.
Also note that I have secured my hipster credentials for life by taking a picture of my iPod playing Menomena.

I was joking. We have iPods.
It’s funny that in today’s environment, the iPod is now the unit of comparative measurement. It used be just a man, or a coin. Or a dinosaur.

I usually just have the entire band, Menomena, stand next to my snacks for a size comparison.

I think they just poored melted butter and marshmellows right into the box of Rice Krispies and then removed the box mold.
