Benjamin “Bearzly” Gwin from Canada holds the record of using the most horrible and weird control methods ever to finish dark souls. Action RPG Dark Souls is regarded as one of the toughest games to be ever made. The list of controllers used includes a rock band guitar peripheral, rock band piano, Donkey Konga bongo drum and many more.

2. Widest mouth (unstretched):

The record is held by Francisco Domingos Joaquim since 2010. His mouth measures 17cm! He has the ability to fit a soda can into his mouth sideways! The record was set on the show Lo Show Dei Record in Rome.

3. Most career goals (football):

pele

If you’re a fan of football and don’t know who Pelé is, you should really be ashamed of yourself. Kidding! Or, am I? Anyway, Messi and Ronaldo sure are impressive players, but Pelé holds the record of highest goals Ade throughout his career! Pelé set the record at a whopping 1,281 goals and it has been unbeaten since 1956.

4. Largest Pizza:

Ottavia

The largest pizza is a whopping 13,580 feet! The pizza, known as Ottavia, was prepared by Dovilio Nardi, Andrea Mannocchi, Matteo Nardi and Matteo Giannotte. Hailing from Italy, they were inspired to make this gigantic pizza to pay homage to the first Roman emperor Octavian Augustus. 

5. World’s smallest waist:

Cathie Jung Smallest Waist 38 cm

It might be creepy to look at, but this record exists so why not know about it? The record of the world’s smallest waist belongs to Cathie Jung. Her waist measures 38.1 cm with a corset and 53.34 cm without it.  Since the year 1983, Jung has worn a corset for 23 hours a day, taking it off only to take a bath. Her enthusiasm for the Victorian age lead her to set this world record.

6. Most Pi places memorized:

Pi digits

This record belongs to Rajveer Meena of India. Meena recalled a total of 70,000 pi digits at the VIT University on 21st March 2015. This feat took almost 10 hours and he was blindfolded the entire time.

7. Longest Fingernails on hands(female):

Ending this article with the weirdest and the creepiest record-setting feat I’ve ever seen. Lee Redmond of the USA set the record for the longest fingernails on a pair of hands ever in Spain on 23rd February 2008. Measuring some 28ft 4.5 inches, Lee took home the Guinness world record.

So that is it, folks! The weirdest yet trendy world records. All of these records are officially recorded on the Guinness World Records page. There are plenty more where these came from!
