The Guinness Book of World Records credits Gareth Griffin of Harrogate U.K. with the record for growing the world's heaviest onion at 8.97kg or 19lb, 12.4Oz.

But it seems they need to update their record given the size of the onions people are eating in this thread.

Have you looked at the technical info? There's a write-up*, videos, photos, code and CAD files, plus another domain with the team behind, including author links to their LinkedIns which take about the company+project, plus a Google Scholar page which all confirm that they worked at Google Research. It's possible it's real people but a fake project, but that's not where Occam's razor falls for me.
