**BREAKING: Alaska Woman Shatters World Record with Jaw-Dropping Achievement**
In a stunning display of flexibility and a hint of madness, 32-year-old Alaska resident, Bertha “The Mouth” McSnazz, has officially broken the world record for the largest mouth gape, measuring a mind-boggling 2 feet 11 inches (35.5 inches or 90 cm)!
According to eyewitnesses, Bertha’s mouth expanded to an unprecedented size after a freak accident involving a giant rubber band, a can of sardines, and a dubious claim of “just a little too much laughter.”
“I was just trying to fit an entire pizza in my mouth for a dare,” Bertha explained in an exclusive interview, “and, well, let’s just say I won’t be needing any dentures anytime soon!”
The Guinness World Records officials were on hand to verify the measurement, which was taken by carefully placing a flexible measuring tape from the tip of Bertha’s nose to the edge of her ear.
“I’m absolutely thrilled and a bit speechless,” Bertha said, her words muffled by her remarkably large mouth. “I mean, who needs to eat normally when you can just inhale a whole turkey?”
Bertha’s achievement has sent shockwaves throughout the scientific community, with experts scrambling to understand the implications of her extraordinary oral abilities.
“This changes everything we thought we knew about human anatomy,” declared Dr. Emily J. Widenmouth, a leading expert in mouth-related research. “Bertha’s mouth is a game-changer. We’re already planning a special ‘Mouth-chanics’ course at Harvard.”
As news of Bertha’s record-breaking feat spread, fans and onlookers flocked to social media to congratulate the Alaska native.
“I’m so proud of Bertha!” tweeted @MouthEnthusiast. “She’s an inspiration to us all to think outside the box…or in this case, the mouth!”
Bertha, who plans to write a memoir titled “The Wide-Mouthed Wonder,” has announced that she will be embarking on a world tour to showcase her remarkable abilities.
When asked about her future plans, Bertha simply grinned (or rather, stretched her mouth to an alarming degree) and said, “The sky’s the limit…or should I say, the mouth’s the limit!”
**UPDATE:** Bertha’s record-breaking mouth has been officially recognized by Guinness World Records. She has been awarded a special certificate and a year’s supply of rubber bands.
