Michigan has quite the history with oversized things. From the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile to the giant Uniroyal tire on eastbound I-94, we have many landmarks throughout the state that can fit into the ‘oversized things’ category.

We received a question from a reader as part of our 4YI form, where you can submit questions or quandaries about Detroit or Michigan and we try our best to answer them. The reader wrote: “what happened to the big whipped cream cans on Telegraph Road just south of Michigan Avenue?” and I found myself wondering the same thing.
