Mouth World Records

Chelsea Silberglied of Phoenix, Arizona, turned a pile of red and green grapes into tiny jack-o-lanterns, slicing off lids and carving eyes, noses and mouths into the skins. Her video pans in one continuous take from one end of a baking sheet to the other, row after row of little grape faces. RecordSetter stitched the pan into a single image of the tray and counted it row by row, which backs up her total of 125. Who needs pumpkins?

Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, held a single stack of 23 round crackers upright between the teeth. Seated in a classroom, Yanhao first shows the stack up close to the camera, then fits it into a wide-open mouth with the top cracker against the upper teeth and the bottom cracker on the lower teeth, and keeps both hands away for about two seconds while the stack stays put. RecordSetter checked the count of 23 against the ridged edges of the stack in the close-up at the start of the video. Twenty-three crackers, one jaw, no hands.

Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, balanced a stack of 44 round crackers on the base of an upside-down clear cup held by its rim in the teeth. Seated at a classroom desk with head tipped back, Yanhao sets the stack on the cup, straightens it with both hands, then lets go and keeps both hands away for about a second and a half while the tower stays balanced. RecordSetter checked the count of 44 against the ridged edges of the stack, which comes off the cup in one piece and is held up to the camera at the end. Forty-four crackers, one cup, no hands.

CJ Briner packed 115 Reese's Pieces into a single mouthful in Griffith after teens at church issued the challenge. The video opens on the candies counted out in neat rows on the table, then follows the slow loading process, including one piece that slips out and goes straight back in, until the table is empty and every piece is held at once before being spat into a trash can. Stuffing food in your mouth can be a choking hazard, so please use caution and have someone on hand.

Pavol Durdik of Puchov, Slovakia, holds a knife in his teeth, stacks one pink and two red fidget spinners on its tip, sets them whirring and crowns the tower with a ping pong ball. The single unedited shot then shows him sitting still with eyes closed and hands clear for 1:02.31, a time that matches the footage from release to the moment he lifts the stack away. Three spinners make for a taller, touchier tower than it looks.

Pavol Durdik of Puchov, Slovakia, grips a knife in his teeth, stacks two spinning fidget spinners on its tip, then sets a ping pong ball on top and lets go. The single unedited shot shows him holding still with eyes closed for 1:47.10 while the spinners keep turning, until the ball finally rolls off. Hands stay clear the whole time, so the slow wind-down is easy to follow.
