A Connecticut woman who used to be bullied for her big mouth is now a proud Guinness World record holder.
Samantha Ramsdell broke the record for having the largest mouth gape of a female after going viral TikTok, Guinness reported.
Ramsdell’s mouth, capable of holding an entire large fry from McDonald’s, measures 6.52 cm or about 2.5-inches wide.
“I never thought it would be possible to be this famous off my mouth, but it’s incredible,” she told Guinness.
The 31-year-old has amassed a 1.7 million following on TikTok after posting videos stuffing three doughnuts in her mouth at one time and other requests from users.

According to Ramsdell, “the children of TikTok” were the ones who convinced her to seek to world record title.
She claimed the Guinness title after visiting a dentist with an official adjudicator present.
“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!” Ramsdell said.
Ramsdell advises others with large body parts or different talents to not be afraid of their “biggest asset” and recognize it as a “superpower.”
“It is thing that makes you special and different from everyone else walking around.”
