Brittany Lacayo, a U.S. attorney, made history by securing the Guinness World Record for the world's widest tongue.

Who says lawyers can’t set world records? Brittany Lacayo, a U.S. attorney, made history in 2024 by claiming the Guinness World Record for the widest tongue.

What was once a hidden trait has now taken the internet by storm. From jaw-dropping tricks to stunned reactions, Brittany’s extraordinary talent is capturing worldwide attention. A legal expert with a record-breaking tongue — now that’s an unbeatable combination!

For years, Brittany kept her remarkable feature under wraps, but she has recently chosen to embrace it.

For years, Brittany Lacayo, a lawyer from Houston, Texas, kept her unusually wide tongue a total secret — even from her colleagues at the office! She was so discreet that not a single coworker got so much as a peek.

Brittany has officially claimed the Guinness World Record for the widest tongue (female) — measuring broader than a hockey puck and about the same width as a credit card! No more hiding for Brittany — now, she’s proudly showing off her record-breaking tongue, leaving everyone completely amazed.

The woman's tongue boasts extraordinary measurements, setting her apart from the rest.

According to Guinness World Records, Brittany’s tongue measures an astonishing 7.90 cm (3.11 inches) at its widest point — the same length as the average woman’s entire tongue from the epiglottis to the tip!

That’s right — what most people have in total length, Brittany has in width. It’s no surprise that her remarkable tongue has secured her a place in the record books and left the internet completely captivated.

The woman was often teased about her unique feature, but now she’s turned it into an advantage.

Brittany Lacayo has known since childhood that her tongue was anything but ordinary — mainly because her family never let her forget it! Growing up, they teased her about its impressive width, but little did she know it would one day land her in the Guinness World Records.

As she told Guinness, her tongue is actually wider than it is long, and whenever people see it for the first time, their reactions range from total shock to pure curiosity. Now, with her name officially in Guinness’ massive database of 40,000 records, Brittany’s unique feature is getting the attention it deserves!

Brittany Lacayo was aware that her tongue was exceptionally wide, but it wasn’t until her best friend sent her a video of Emily Schlenker, the long-time Guinness World Record holder, that she started thinking — "Wait a second… mine might be even wider!" Schlenker had held the record for nearly a decade with a tongue measuring 7.33 cm (2.89 in) across, and fun fact — her dad, Byron, once held the male record for the widest tongue too!

But Brittany had a hunch that hers was even broader. So, she decided to put it to the test, submitted her official measurements to Guinness, and in February 2024, it was confirmed — her tongue measured 7.90 cm (3.11 in), beating the record by 0.57 cm (0.22 in)!

Now, her distinctive body feature has catapulted her to fame.

Once Brittany Lacayo set her sights on breaking Emily Schlenker’s 2015 record, she knew there was no going back — she could no longer bite her tongue (figuratively speaking!) about its extraordinary size.

Now, she’s fully stepping into the spotlight that comes with holding a Guinness World Record. With the media worldwide captivated by her jaw-dropping achievement, there's no going back!

“It is neat,” she shared with Guinness. “And kind of funny.”

And here's the story of a woman who tattooed 99% of her body, earned two world records, and claims she’s “not done yet.”
