The man with the world's longest tongue has smashed a Jenga world record thanks to his "trademark" body part. Nick Stoeberl, from California, America, already holds the Guinness World Record for the 'longest tongue (male)' - but has now claimed the title for 'fastest time to remove five Jenga blocks with the tongue'.
He smashed the challenge in 55.526 seconds, beating the previous record by about 4.5 seconds. "The average tongue length is just over three inches; 7.9 cm (3.11 in) for women and 8.5 cm (3.34 in) for men. Mine is 10.1 cm (3.97 in)," said Nick. But when Nick isn't breaking world records, he uses his tongue to create impressive artworks.
He says as an artist, he’s been inspired by Andy Warhol and his Campbell soup can, even using it as encouragement to create his very own masterpieces.
He admits that having a long tongue isn’t just a conversation starter, but it also comes in useful when it comes to cleaning himself up after eating.
He added: "If I get my face dirty while I’m eating, I can just lick the food off right there. It’s eco-friendly, no napkins needed."
To show the world how versatile his tongue really is, Nick attempted to break the record for the most tongue to nose touches in one minute.
The record to beat was 281 but Nick unfortunately fell short by 35, clocking in with a total of 246 very tiring tongue to nose touches.
To reclaim his glory, he next attempted the record for the fastest time to remove five Jenga blocks with the tongue.
The record to beat was one minute, and Nick completed the feat in 55.526 seconds.
Nick is proud of his Guinness World Records titles and says his life has changed since first earning the record title for the longest tongue (male).
"I've been able to go to different countries and see all different kinds of cultures and hang out with good people and have good food," said Nick.
