Adrianne Lewis believes she has the world’s longest tongue.
The monsterous tongue measures a whopping 10.2 cm long.
The 18-year-old is now globally recognised after a photo of her sticking her tongue out went viral online. Her snake-like appendage can touch her nose, chin, elbow, and even her eye with a little help.
Lewis is currently in talks with Guinness World Records and waiting to see if she’s the new record holder. The current record holder is Nick Stoeberl’s 10cm long tongue.
