A Texas woman was awarded a Guinness World Records title for the surprising contents of her mouth – a 3.11-inch-wide tongue.

Brittany Lacayo told the record-keeping organization she decided to apply for the title after learning about the former record-holder, Emily Schlenker, whose tongue measured 2.89 inches wide.

Lacayo’s tongue is exactly as wide as the average length of an adult woman’s tongue: 3.11 inches.

Her tongue actually is wider than it is long when measured from the epiglottis, the flap of cartilage located behind the tongue.

The male version of the record belongs to American Brian Thompson, whose tongue measures 3.49 inches wide.

    Cosmetic overuse makes her look extremely weird.

    I feel a little bad for people like her because they must have body dysmorphia if making themselves look like a caricature of a person makes them feel better in their body.
