Michigan Woman: I've Got the World's Longest Tongue

Eighteen-year-old Adrianne Lewis of Twin Lake, Michigan, has a tongue so long, it could make a giraffe blush.

In fact, she believes she has the longest tongue in the world. It’s so long – at 4 inches – that she can even touch her eye with it.

“I feel as though I may have inherited it, but I think with time and me sticking out my tongue a lot as a kid, [I] could have stretched it,” Lewis said. “My mom, grandmother and my great-grandfather all had very long tongues.”

Lewis said children teased her in elementary school.

“I would just flick my tongue in bullies’ faces and freak them out,” she said.

In May 2016, Lewis’ tongue is scheduled to appear in Ripley’s Believe It or Not’s annual book.

“She’s certainly not the first long tongue story we’ve ever done, but it’s definitely a ‘believe it or not,’” Edward Meyer, vice president of exhibits for Ripley’s told USA Today. “As an editor, I see that kind of story and it brings a smile to my face and I want the world to know about it."

So, two guys are talking in a bar. “See him over there”, says one, pointing out an ordinary looking fellow, “he gets more great looking women than you, me and all our buddies put together”.

“What’s so special about him?”, asked the friend. “He’s not great looking, doesn’t wear expensive clothes or drive a fabulous car.”

“I know, I can’t figure it out either. He just sits there at the bar licking his eyebrows!”

Is she the co-ed from the ESPN commercial with the Ohio State-Michigan mixed school couple kissing?

“I know, I can’t figure it out either. He just sits there at the bar licking his eyebrows!”

I had a roommate when I was in the Army during school at Ft Sam Houston during the 70’s. He had a unique ability to pop a maraschino cherry in his mouth remove the stem and tie it in a knot with his tongue. A rather effective conversation starter. His social life read like a Penthouse letter along with the attendant problems. I had never seen anything like it.

Yep, I knew a sorority girl who could do the cherry-stem trick. Memorable lass.

My tongue is far from contention but I have two basic problems with it.

1. I bite it too often.

2. Sometimes I’m better off biting it.

what, you don’t know that trick? you secretly take a stem, tie it in a knot, hide it in your mouth, and then make great theatrics out of putting a normal stem in your mouth, ‘doing your thing’, and producing the tied one.

That beats the current Guiness Book record holder by .2 inches. Gene Simmons’ tongue is purported to be ~6” but I doubt that.

I had thought of that also but when I watched him do 6-7 in a row I doubted he started out with his mouth full of pre tied stems. I also took a cherry and nicked the stem near the end using a pen knife to mark it. Same effect the stem was tied in a knot.
