California woman sets Guinness World Record with 9.75 cm tongue as long as an iPhone
Chanel Tapper, a student from California, USA, has made headlines around the world with her extraordinary tongue, measuring an impressive 9.75 cm (3.8 inches) from the tip to the middle of her lip. This remarkable feature has earned her the prestigious Guinness World Record for the longest female tongue.
Tapper first discovered her unique attribute at the age of eight during a Halloween photo session with her mother. Reflecting on that moment, she shared, “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.”
To put the length of her tongue into perspective, Tapper’s tongue is comparable to the size of an iPhone, making it twice as long as the average human tongue.
Embracing her distinctive feature, Tapper enjoys the reactions she receives. “I love it when people get such a shock that they scream in horror,” she shared.
Her record-breaking tongue has garnered significant attention online, leading to appearances on various platforms where she showcases her unique talent.
In a related story, a man named Nick Stoeberl from the USA holds the Guinness World Record for the longest tongue (male) with a measurement of 10.1 cm (3.97 in). He has found an unusual way to put his unique muscle to use—painting. Nick recently made a TV appearance where he showcased his artistic skills by painting a portrait using his record-breaking tongue.
Nick’s tongue is so long that he can even lick his elbow, an act widely believed to be impossible for humans. His unique talent has captured the attention of many, including hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby during his appearance on This Morning in the UK.
Both Chanel Tapper and Nick Stoeberl have proven that unique talents can lead to extraordinary achievements and unexpected opportunities.
