5. World record for the largest mass arm wrestling contest

Over 200 people in London wrestled their way in to the Guinness World Record book for the largest mass arm wrestling contest.
4. World record for the largest gathering of people wearing underpants


Cosmo set a new Guinness World Record® for the largest gathering of men wearing nothing but their pants – and at the same time raised loads of money for Everyman, the male cancer charity. The famous magazine got 146 men to pose in their pants at Twickenham Stoop, home to the Harlequins Rugby Club, smashing the previous record of 116. The stunt was all in aid of the Everyman campaign, to help raise awareness of, and vital funds for, testicular and prostate cancer.
3. World record for collective kissing

Presumably before the onset of swine flu in the country, Mexico went lip-locking mad to break the record for the highest number of simultaneous kisses, as an answer to the country’s recent drug wars that have left tens of thousands of victims dead or beaten. Almost 40,000 people were involved in the kiss, making it quite a success by any measure -including the Guinness Book. The event also provided free education on preventing AIDs and maintaining a violence free relationship.
Carlos Martinez of Guinness World Records verified the record of 39,897 people who entered the gated kissing area of the city’s Zocalo main square on Valentine’s Day. Isn’t love just lovely?
2. World record for largest number of people dressed as Smurfs

The city of Swansea was turned blue as a group of 2,510 people, the majority of whom were students from the local university, crammed into the Oceana nightclub to almost double the previous record.The event was organized by UK fancy dress costume seller Jokers’ Masquerade and was not verified until every “Smurf” was checked to make sure no natural skin was showing.
1. World record for biggest Coke-Mentos Explosion

About 1,500 students participated in a Mentos/Diet Coke demonstration in Leuven, Belgium. Each wore a blue poncho and added Mentos mints to a bottle of Diet Coke for a simultaneous explosion! A new world record was set.
