text: Nick Stoeberl showcases all 10.1cm of his amazing tongue to snap up his tongue-tastic record. Prepare to be amazed by the longest tongue in the world! 
   
   Twenty-four-year-old Nick Stoeberl from California, USA has well and truly got the world record longest tongue licked. 
   
   The artist and comedian’s super-sized lingua has been verified as measuring 10.1cm (3.97in) long from its tip to the middle of the closed top lip and is featured as one of the latest records set in the new Guinness World Records 2015 book. 
   
   Nick’s father was “a huge fan of KISS” and as a child Nick would imitate Gene Simmons’ infamous tongue pose, realising for the first time that his tongue was longer than others. 
   
   The artist and comedian loves the attention his tongue receives, announcing that “I’m not only able to lick my nose, but also my elbow!” 
   
   He says that the only downside is “that I have to spend longer brushing my tongue in the morning.” 
   
   The achievement breaks the record of Brit Stephen Taylor (9.8 cm) who has held the title since 2002.

   Adrianne Lewis believes she has the world’s longest TONGUE measuring a whopping 4 inches. The 18-year-old is now globally recognised after a photo of her sticking her tongue out went viral online. Her serpent-like appendage can touch her nose, chin, elbow, and even her eye with a little help. And she 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 3.9-inch long tongue.

   The 18-year old from Michigan believes her tongue to be 4 inches long, beating the current Guinness World Record holder Nick Stoeberl whose tongue measures 3.97 inches. 
   
   To this end, Lewis has spent the past few years promoting her massive tongue on Facebook and YouTube, where her videos have garnered thousands of views. Lewish can touch her tongue to her elbow, nose and even her eye (with a little help from her hand). 
   
   After years of self promotion, Lewis is in talks with Guinness to see if she's officially broken the new world record. Until then, she's focused on building an ever-growing online presence, one elbow lick at at time.
target: – What would you do if you had a tongue as long as a playing card? For 18-year-old Adrianne Lewis, making YouTube videos showing off the various tricks she can do with her estimated 4-inch-long tongue seemed like a great way to gain some Internet fame. The Michigan teen uploaded her first video two years ago. Since then, she's uploaded about a dozen videos showing off all she can do with her quirky mouth feature, including licking her nose, touching her tongue to her elbow, and, with a little help from her hand, even licking her own eyeball. Speaking to Barcroft TV, her mom says they realized Lewis' tongue was unusually long when she was about 10, and notes that her daughter comes from a long line of long-tongued people: Her great-grandfather, grandmother, and mother share the trait. While Lewis is psyched about the hundreds of thousands of views her YouTube videos have amassed, boyfriend Tim Hegedus notes, "It's the Internet, so there's a lot of weird people there. I've seen some comments that make me uncomfortable." More fame could come: The length of Lewis' tongue might just be enough to get her into Guinness World Records. While she hasn't had it officially measured by the Guinness folks, she estimates her tongue measures at least 4 inches, which Mashable reports could be enough to beat the 3.97-inch-long tongue (as measured "from its tip to the middle of the closed top lip") currently holding the record.
