**BREAKING: EGG-STRAORDINARY ACHIEVEMENT ROCKS SPAIN!**
In a shocking turn of events, 32-year-old Maria Rodriguez of Barcelona, Spain has shattered the previous world record for collecting the most egg cups, amassing a staggering 15,485 cups in her humble abode.
Eyewitnesses claim that Rodriguez’s home has been transformed into a veritable “Egg Cup Palace,” with shelves upon shelves of the colorful collectibles, which she has been accumulating over the past 20 years.
“I started collecting egg cups on a whim,” Rodriguez explained in an exclusive interview. “My abuela used to make me a fried egg every morning, and I’d always save the cup. Next thing I knew, I had a few dozen. And then… well, let’s just say my friends and family thought I’d lost my mind!”
The Guinness World Records officials were on hand to verify the collection, and were reportedly blown away by the sheer scope of Rodriguez’s egg cup empire.
“We’ve never seen anything like it,” said a GWR spokesperson. “Ms. Rodriguez’s collection is truly egg-ceptional. We’re not sure what’s more impressive – the number of cups or the fact that she’s managed to keep them all clean and dust-free!”
As news of Rodriguez’s record-breaking achievement spread, fans and fellow collectors began to flock to her home, eager to catch a glimpse of the egg cup extravaganza.
“I traveled from Australia just to see this phenomenon,” said egg cup enthusiast, Nigel Bottomsworth. “I’ve never seen so many egg cups in one place. It’s… it’s… well, it’s just egg-straordinary!”
Rodriguez, beaming with pride, has announced plans to open her Egg Cup Palace to the public, with guided tours and interactive exhibits.
When asked what’s next for her, Rodriguez simply smiled mischievously and said, “I’m thinking of starting a collection of spoons… just kidding! (Or am I?)”
**UPDATE:** The Spanish government has announced plans to award Rodriguez the country’s highest honor, the “Golden Egg Cup,” for her outstanding contribution to the world of collectibles.
