At an average weight of about 16 pounds per uncooked bird, that's about 736,000,000 pounds of one animal consumed in one country in one afternoon. Just for context: At launch, the space Shuttle, twin rocket boosters, and fully-stocked external fuel tank weighs about 4.4 million pounds. America ate 167 fully-fueled space shuttles worth of turkey last turkey day. Think about that.
