A 31-year-old Connecticut woman is more than just a viral sensation – she’s a Guinness World Record holder!

The Guinness World Record confirmed Samantha Ramsdell has “the world’s largest mouth gape (female).” It stretches at 6.52 cm.

Per the website, she can "nearly fit an entire green apple in her mouth, can fully bite through four-single stacked cheeseburgers, and can fit an entire large sized French fries in her mouth!"

“Being 31 and being able to get a record for something that really I was so insecure about, something that I wanted to keep so small, it’s great because now it’s like one of the biggest, best things about me,” Ramsdell said in an interview with Guinness World Record.

Ramsdell has 1.7 million followers on TikTok. Her content includes showing her eating large sizes of food ranging from sandwiches to pizza to even burgers. Her fans encouraged her to go after the Guinness World Record.

She said she started an account during the pandemic as a “creative outlet.”

“You know getting a Guinness World Records title, it’s finally being almost able to show some of the bullies or people who doubted me, or tormented me, that hey – I have a big mouth but at least I have the biggest one in the world!" she said.

In addition to her food content, Ramsdell is also a performer and comedian
