UAE island breaks message in a bottle world record: People still think this is cool
In an astounding feat of human ingenuity, a small island in the UAE has managed to break the world record for the number of messages sent via bottle. That’s right, folks, we’re still doing that thing from that one episode of Spongebob where they send a bottle to Sandy’s hometown.
But don’t worry, these are no ordinary messages. No, no. They’re not filled with ramblings of love and devotion or confessions of sin. These messages are clearly of the utmost importance, hence why they needed to be sent via bottle. Because, as we all know, nothing says “crucial communication” like something that washes up on shore months (if not years) after it was sent.
But let’s not be too harsh. Many of us have fond memories of throwing a bottle into the ocean and imagining it traveling to far off lands. And now, thanks to these UAE islanders, we can relive that childish fantasy on a global scale.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the island managed to send a whopping 500 messages in bottles. And who knows how many more were thrown out on a whim, without any official record keeping? It’s a mystery that we’ll probably never know the answer to. But hey, the important thing is that they broke the record, right?
Not everyone is impressed, however. Some have criticized the stunt as being wasteful and harmful to the environment. And those people are just being party poopers, really. Because what’s a little bit of plastic pollution when you’re making history, am I right?
But let’s not focus on the negative. This is a momentous occasion that deserves celebration. So if you’re feeling left out and want to join in on the fun, just throw a bottle in the ocean with a message inside. Who knows, maybe it’ll end up on that same UAE island and you can be a part of their history-making legacy.
In conclusion, let’s all raise a glass (or a bottle, if you will) to the UAE islanders who have managed to achieve what no one else has before: sending a large number of messages via bottle. May their achievement inspire us all to reach for the stars, or at the very least, throw more litter into the ocean.
