The cute young lady, who lives in California, US, is a student. The committee of the Guinness invited her in September 2012 to Los Angeles and measured her tongue that is 3.8 inches (9.75 cm) from tip to top lip. She has broken the previous records and also beaten two other women who were the competitors for the record.
She became famous after a video clip posted in YouTube, showing her huge tongue, when she was only thirteen years old. She says that she does not mind the reaction from the public.
“I have always been silly and goofy. I love sticking my tongue out at people. I started doing that back in school. I’ve never had a problem with having a long tongue, it’s just fun,” she said.
Her tongue is as long as an iPhone. She can touch her nose and elbow which are really impossible for an ordinary person. She also admits that she can eat an entire cup of yogurt without using a spoon.
