As Google turns 20-years-old, it has shared some of the most search for destinations across the globe, including a giant egg and a towering filing cabinet.
Google Maps has listed the most searched for 'world's largest' destinations across the globe, that have all become unlikely tourist attractions.
One of the whoppers on the list is the world's largest Czech egg. Located in Kansas, America, the Cech egg is a roadside sight, which celebrates Czech heritage and culture. The ovular attraction features an intricate design and vibrant colours, and is located in the city of Wilson.
One individual, who stopped to inspect the egg, said in a Google review: "What I loved most about this stop is how much pride the local community clearly has for this unique landmark. It’s a quick stop, but one that’s well worth it if you’re traveling through the area and want to see something truly unique. Definitely a must see for fans of roadside attractions or anyone who appreciates a slice of cultural history."

According to Atlas Obscura, the giant egg towers 20 feet into the air and was a part of a project commissioned by the City of Wilson to commemorate the area's strong heritage. A local artist, named Christine Slechta, chose the design and painted it with help from the community.

One individual who recently visited the site, remarked in a review: "Life changing experience! Me and my friend went there on a cold day and this amazing monument was heartwarming we had so much fun. If you go to Burlington stop and go see one of United States' treasure!!"
