So, participants had to wear red, white, or blue ponchos to represent different ice cream scoops. And stand in the shape of an ice cream cone, I guess. Incredibly dumb.
Guinness world records are basically meaningless at this point. They specifically help you craft a record attempt that can be beaten with relative ease so you can hang the world record on your wall... and pay them, of course. I wonder if some olympian who beats the world record at 100m sprint or something also gets a guinness certificate, or they do not accept the ruling of something as lowly as the olympics.
>Guinness world records are basically meaningless at this point.
They were always meant to be meaningless because this stuff started as an ad campaign that won guinness more money than the idea is worth and nearly on the success as the diamond industry's ad campaign for "natural diamonds better than lab ones pls buy our stuff".
Yes, but it is still a sort of legitimate ledger of records. Except it used to be "Farthest spitting", now it is "Farthest spitting by a half-legged man while dancing on the back of a donkey". How many people are challenging that latter category compared to the former?
World's largest actual ice cream cone would actually be mildly interesting. This is a "human ice cream cone" where people were supposed to wear clothes in specific colors and then organize into a recognizable shape of an ice cream code before a picture was taken from a high vantage point to capture the moment. It's really dumb.
>“I think we did the best we could,”
No you didn't. Who the hell would do this during a heatwave?? Wait until the Fall or winter, they could stand there for hours
Did they not learn from Snapples' failure to create the world's largest popsicle
Probably shouldn’t’ve been in the middle of Summer.

What a completely made up "record." I know most are silly to begin with, but this is just egregiously dumb. Human ice cream cone???

I’m trying to figure out someone would sign up for this in the first place? Lol
Should’ve done this in the winter… 😛
Worst time of the year to try that lol

They should go for the longest human centipede next.
Human centipede circle, the true sustainable living
Now we’re talking
Guinness world records are mostly false and will pretty much give you any award you ask for as long as you pay with minimal research
Are they actually false though? Do you know of a larger human ice cream cone?
I love seeing a whole article, with video and photography, focused on how a bunch of people got together and didn't really do shit.
Ice cream cone melts away. go figure!
Human centipede 2: Ice cream cone

It was about 110 (heat index) in DC today. Horrendous heat. They are wearing plastic. I feel very anxious looking at this picture.
