A woman has broken the Guinness World Record for largest mouth gape coming in at just under three inches.

Ever since she was young, Marie Pearl Zellmer Robinson says she would stick oranges and lightbulbs in her mouth to mess with her six siblings.

According to her, her right jawbone is positioned at the back near her ear canal which gives her a wider range of movement. She has never had braces, or any kind of dental work done that would impact the shape of her mouth.

Marie is proud of her record, but she doesn’t go around showing just everyone, “When I do, it kind of creeps people out.”
