Chanel Tapper, a student from California, USA has the world’s longest
tongue measuring 9.75 cm (3.8 in) from tip to top lip. Her
lizard-like
tongue is twice as long as the average, as long as the world’s largest
cockroach, as wide as your palm, the same volume as a quarter pounder
hamburger and around the same length as an iPhone. According to Chanel:
I was eight and my mom and I were taking pictures for Halloween. In one
of the pictures we stuck our tongues out. I noticed I had a long tongue
when the pictures from Halloween were printed and I saw it…but I guess
it became apparent in middle school when people started commenting on
it.
