Like a shovel: a Texas resident got into the Guinness Book of Records for the widest tongue in the world (3 photos + 1 video)
It is wider than a hockey puck and almost as wide as a bank card.
The Guinness Book of Records is full of achievements for which a person did not make any effort, but received them thanks to mom and dad and nature. For example, a resident of Texas became a record holder for the widest tongue in the world.
How this treasure fits in Brittany Lacayo's mouth is a big question, but this device opens up quite a solid horizon of possibilities. The lucky girl proudly demonstrates the size of the organ, which can fit 4 lollipops at once, and there is still room left.
The size of Brittany Lacayo's tongue at its widest part is 7.9 centimeters. At the same time, the American's organ is wider than long, because it is 2.5 centimeters wider than it is long. The record holder is not the only one of her kind - the previous record of 7.33 centimeters lasted 10 years and also belonged to a resident of the USA Emily Schlenker.
Brittany says that as a child she was teased because of her interesting appearance, and even her family made fun of the girl's peculiarity, but she did not pay any attention to these taunts. And one day a friend said that Lacayo was not alone, and sent a video with the previous record holder. After that, the girl decided to measure her tongue.

The widest tongue in the world among men also belongs to an American - Brian Thompson. The width of his organ is 8.88 centimeters.
