Every foodie's paradise
The Largest hot dog cart measures 2.81 m (9 ft 3 in) in width, 7.06 m (23 ft 2 in) in length, 3.72 m (12 ft 2.75 in) in height from the ground to the handle, and the wheels' diameter is 1.86 m (6 ft 1.5 in). Over 1.5 times larger than a telephone box! Achieved by Marcus “Hot Dog Man” Daily (USA) of Union, Missouri, the 44-year-old chef found it difficult to work his regular cart in inclement weather and opted to build the super-sized cart after his son, an avid Guinness World Records fan, suggested he attempt the record. On building the cart, Marcus said “It was a difficult process that involved long days and lots of back breaking work, but it’s been a lot of fun!” With the addition of a drive through and toilet, conveniently hidden inside of a giant mustard can Marcus turned his part time gig into a full-time operation. Serving up to 300 people daily, Marcus prides himself on the quality and taste of his hot dogs, of which he serves 33 different varieties!

King of the largest teeth kingdom
The Most teeth in the mouth are 37, achieved by Vijay Kumar V.A, 27, as verified in Bangalore, India. This is five more than is usually found in the average human mouth and Vijay is thrilled to be chomping his way into the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS 2016 book. “Wherever I go, I need to carry my brush,” says Kumar. “Sometimes they even hurt, like when I get a chili seed caught! But no matter how much they hurt, or how many times I bite my tongue, which is a lot by the way, it’s worth it to get into the Guinness World Records book”.
These ain't no ordinary boots
The Tallest cowboy boot sculpture measures 10.4m (35 ft 3 in) in height and was constructed by Bob Wade, 72, (USA) of San Antonio, Texas. The Texan has enjoyed a 40-year career as an alternative artist and originally created the boots by commission in Washington DC. The gigantic boots mean so much to Wade, he has written a Country & Western song about them, called “Too High, Too Long, Too Wide”. The build process took Wade three months and they now stand proud next to the highway en route into San Antonio. On making it into the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS 2016 book, Bob said “I’m mighty proud to have the world’s biggest cowboy boots and for anyone that thinks I’m totally crazy – well, I am, just a little!”
