When we say a person has a big mouth, it means they talk too much or spill secrets they shouldn't. But some people really have mouths that are larger than normal. You can't tell that Marie Pearl Zellmer Robinson has a big mouth just by looking at her- until she opens it was wide as she can. The woman from Ketchikan, Alaska, has been named the world record holder for the biggest mouth gape (female), meaning the distance from top to bottom when her mouth is all the way open. The official measurement is 2.98 inches (7.59 centimeters). That doesn't tell you much, but look at all the things she can put in her mouth! A whole orange. A ten-patty burger. A metal can.
Robinson has known her mouth is superlative since she was a kid and her siblings challenged her to fit things in her mouth, but she only recently learned that Guinness World Records had a record for women with large mouth gapes. When she saw what the record was, she knew she had already beaten it. -via Boing Boing
