Does this teenager have the longest tongue in the world? After a photo of her sticking her tongue out went viral, 18 year old Adrianne Lewis is now globally recognized. Her serpant like tongue is capable of touching her nose, chin, elbow, and even her eye with a little help. Her tongue measures a whopping 4 inches and she believes she has the world’s longest TONGUE. Now she is waiting to see if she’s the new record holder since she is currently in talks with Guinness World Records. The current record holder is Nick Stoeberl with 3.9-inch long tongue.
The teenager said, ‘ I feel as though I may have inherited it but I think with time and me sticking out my tongue a lot as a kid could have stretched it. My mum, grandmother and my great grandfather all had very long tongues. In elementary school I was made fun of a lot – I would just flick my tongue in bullies’ faces and freak them out.’ Adrianne, from Twin Lake, Michigan always knew she had a long tongue. But she decided to submit herself to Ripley’s Believe It Or Not when she was 13-years-old. She added, ‘ I didn’t think anything would happen because I sent in things to Guinness and was rejected three times. A few days later I got an email saying, ‘your tongue is really cool, we’d like to see more.
They said they’d like to feature me and I love Ripley’s so it was exciting to be in the books.’ To showcase all her tricks Adrianne even created her own YouTube channel two years ago. She said, ‘ People started viewing after I made my first video, and I already had 250 views the first day. I started making more videos and it was basically about my tongue – I have 814 subscribers on my channel now. Someone also posted my picture on I-Funny and I had a friend from Colorado text me and tell me he saw me on the site. The next week I had a friend from Africa send me a message also, so it’s not just in my town, it’s people all over the world who have seen me.’
