Like Father, Like Daughter : World's Widest Tongues
WHO - Byron and Emily Schlenker
WHAT - His (8.6 cm across), Hers (7.3 cm Across)
WHERE - Syracuse, New York
WHEN - November 2014
Schlenker always knew his tongue was a mouthful, but didn’t realize it was a record breaker until he was helping his daughter, Emily, 14, with a school project.
Looking at a copy of Guinness World Records, Schlenker saw a page featuring an Australian man with the world’s widest tongue. He decided to see if his tongue was wider and soon contacted Guinness.

Update: Since 2018, a new record was made for the world’s widest (male) tongue. Stay tuned.
