This giant watersphere is shaped and painted to look like a peach -- but some still think that it resembles a big butt. Roadsideamerica.com Report...

Peachoid Water Tower

The Peachoid Water Tower is also known throughout the region as "The Peach-Butt," and is used as a common reference point for interstate travelers. [Yankee John, 08/08/2010]

Peachoid - A Different Viewpoint

This photo was taken on Thursday, April 11, 2002, (obviously) of the Gaffney, South Carolina peach/water tower. A branch of the Fatz Cafe restaurant chain has been built right in its shadow. Personally I'm torn between disappointment that the pristine view of the peach has been disrupted, and the thrill of eating really good garlic bread while I look at it. [Nate Etheridge, 04/21/2002]

The Peachoid - A new view

I did get a good picture of the Peachoid's 'butt'. What I didn't realize is the tank is actually shaped like a butt, it's not just an illusion using paint and shadows. Gaffney is serious about their Peachoid!!

The peachoid was also the 1981 Steel Tank of the Year. Oh ... and the area around and just below the Peachoid is a park where you can sit and ponder the peachoid. [Greg Brown, 11/05/2000]

Peachoid Water Tower

Hey! I have some more info about Gaffney, SC's Peachoid. Every year, they have a festival underneath the "Big Butt In the Sky" with live bands, food, rides, etc. It's sometime in the spring or summer. I live just south of the giant peach, so I see it all the time. [Catherine Gurry, 05/08/1997]
