  Most people simultaneously licking ice cream - Augustana College sets world record

  ROCK ISLAND, IL, USA -- Augustana College in Rock Island celebrated the college's 150th anniversary by gathering 2,694 men, women and children to make history licking ice cream and set the new world record for the Most people simultaneously licking ice cream.

  The previous Guinness world record for the Most people simultaneously licking ice cream was set last year in Spain who had 2,500 people.

   The world record event was in honor Whitey's Ice Cream flavor called "Augustana Viking Pride", created in celebration of the college's 150th anniversary.

   The flavor — peanut butter with fudge swirls and Oreo chunks — was in the cups held by many of the hopeful recordbreakers. For those allergic to peanut butter, there were cups of vanilla.

    Breaking a world record isn’t simply a matter of showing up and saying you did it. There are rules. For instance, every participant had to be counted three times: going into the stadium, on the field and going out.
      There were both still and video photographers recording the record attempt and one supervisor for every 50 people.

    The lines had to curve a bit into each other because everyone was required to hold their cup out to the right so each person would be licking from a cup held by someone else. [Just another example of stupid, unnecessary rule from Guinness; only to make your life harder than necessary; wake up, guys!... and don't accept any more such stupid 'rules'; or maybe they use to eat ice cream like this in London?].

   
The 2,694 official participants received coupons entitling them to a free cone at Whitey’s.

    Rock Island Mayor Dennis Pauley, on hand as an official witness, joked, “Too bad we couldn’t use this set-up for the census count.”
