Chanel Tapper, with her 3.8-inch (9.75 cm) tongue&mdash;longer than a medium-sized lightbulb&mdash; holds the Guinness World Record for having the longest tongue, and what she loves most is watching people shriek in disbelief. Tapper, a California native, holds the title for woman with the globe&rsquo;s longest tongue and can skillfully use it to remove Jenga blocks from a stack, take out a lemon from a glass of water, flip plastic cups with it, raise a spoon by curling it around the item, and touch both the tip of her nose and under her chin.
But what thrills her most is showing her tongue to people and watching them shriek in disbelief and shock. &ldquo;Honestly, the best reaction I could ever get when someone sees my tongue is screaming,&rdquo; Tapper, 34, said recently in an interview published on the Guinness World Records website.&nbsp; &ldquo;People yell or scream in shock, or horror sometimes, [and] that&rsquo;s probably my favourite because it&rsquo;s funny to me because it&rsquo;s a dramatic response.&rdquo;

Guinness World Records finally invited her to an event in Los Angeles in 2010 to measure her tongue and see if she merited a spot in the database. She beat two other competitors for the record, surpassing the average tongue length for women by about 1.9 cm (roughly three-fourths of an inch) &ndash; and for men by some 1.2 cm (a half-inch or so).
