THOUSANDS of Indian schoolkids got together to break an ice cream world record!

Imagine earning a Guinness World Records title simply for eating some delicious ice cream…

This is what dreams are made of!

4,008 students, all from 10 to 13 years old, got in a carefully planned assembly line in Chennai, India in order to earn the record for longest chain of people licking ice cream.

Hatsun Agro Products Limited and Arun Ice Creams planned this record attempt together, gathering kids from 8 different schools, who made 2 unbroken chains across 2 long hallways.

With each student’s right hand, they would be given a cone that they would offer to the person standing beside them. They had 1 minute to make sure that everyone had a lick of their delicious treat!

And honestly, a lot of teamwork was required from these students, especially since they did not know each other. Not to mention, they also had to resist the temptation of eating the ice cream until their official attempt began and it was their turn…

To prepare for this challenge, all the students were first shown an instructional video of how the attempt would work, and then they were given 2 practice rounds (with the dessert not in view).  

Keep in mind that, between factors such as keeping the ice cream cold and making sure no one eats the sweet treat too early, coordinating a chain of people eating ice cream is a pretty BIG deal!  

The longest chain of people licking ice cream is a super difficult record that had gone unbroken for 15 years – so congratulations, kids, you are all Officially Amazing!
