Towering above Collinsville is what may be America’s greatest contribution to condiment architecture: the World’s Largest Catsup Bottle. Standing 170 feet tall, this giant ketchup bottle is actually a water tower built in 1949 for a local bottling plant. Because apparently a normal water tower just wouldn’t cut the mustard.

The bottle can hold enough water to fill roughly 640,000 ketchup bottles—which feels like more than enough for even the world’s largest order of fries.

By the 1990s, the landmark nearly got demolished, but locals rallied to save their beloved bottle from extinction. Honestly, if your town has a giant ketchup bottle on the skyline, you protect that thing at all costs.

Today it stands proudly on the National Register of Historic Places, proving once again that roadside America will preserve absolutely anything if it’s tasty enough.
