Is it better to be a man with a long tongue or a female with the
longest tongue in the world? If you are a man reading this, we bet
we already no your answer.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Chanel Tapper,
a student from California, has the world’s longest tongue measuring
3.8 in from tip to top lip. Interesting enough, her lizard-like
tongue is twice as long as any average human. To put it in
perspective, her tongue is so long it is around the same length as
an iPhone.
When asked about her record-breaking tongue, she had the
following to say:
When did you first realize that your tongue was longer
than average? What happened?
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.
Why I stuck my tongue out at people, I don’t know… I’m goofy! But
there are still some people from back then that only remember me
because of my tongue!
What reaction do you get from people when they see
it?
For most people it’s a jaw-dropping experience. It’s like they
don’t believe what they see and nie out of ten times, they’ll ask
me to do it again.
Some girls/women have screamed/jumped back. If there are other
people around, the person who saw my tongue will tell the nearest
next to them.
I’ll often get asked questions like, “can you touch your nose or
elbow?” and, “do you choke people when you kiss them?”
But always, everyone in one way or another is entertained by
seeing it.
Does it affect your relationships in any way? Do you
currently have a boyfriend and if so, what does he
think?
It does. Most guys that know or already see it automatically have
their mind in the gutter, and so do some females. I don’t have a
boyfriend, but the last guy I dated didn’t make it that big of a
deal, and I really liked him for that.
