Ghanaian woman falls asleep after 7 hours of chewing gum for GWR attempt

Audio By Carbonatix

Ghanaian woman, Maame aiming for the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest gum chewing by an individual encountered a momentary setback during her attempt when she unexpectedly fell asleep.

In a widely circulated video on Saturday, Maame was seen seated in a relaxed position dozing off.

This occurred after she had already completed seven hours of her gum-chewing GWR attempt.

At that point, she seemed on the verge of giving up her record attempt.

However, a few minutes later, she started humming a song and energetically throwing her hands in the air, evidently attempting to stay awake and continue her pursuit of the record.

Maame embarked on her ambitious seven-day chewing gum marathon on Friday, February 9, to surpass the current record of 41 hours of continuous gum chewing.

The regulations for this unique record are straightforward: maintain a straight face, keep the gum manageable, and be continuously timed and recorded by a dedicated team.
