Monopoly's mascot Rich Uncle Pennybags - the elderly chap who looks like a cousin of Colonel Sanders — will soon become even richer...and creamier, and yellow-er? The Iowa State Fair announced they'll be carving a Mr. Monopoly out of butter for the fair's run in mid-August. So we thought it would be fun to look back at some of the most over-the-top sculptures ever made out of butter. The statues somehow stay intact, but your mind will melt.
