Adrianne Lewis looks like your average teen—that is, until she opens her mouth. The 18-year-old from Twin Lakes, Michigan, has a tongue Gene Simmons would kill for, possibly the longest in the world at a staggering 4 inches!  She can even lick her eye with it.

Lewis, who has appeared in a Ripley’s Believe It or Not’s book, has been rejected by the Guinness Book of World Records three times, but she’s still trying to challenge the current record holder Nick Stoeberl of California, at 3.97 inches.

...but there was a time when it got her bullied. She told Barcroft TV, “In elementary school, I was made fun of a lot. I would just [flick my tongue] in bullies’ faces and freak them out.”

She now makes YouTube videos, and yes, she does get inappropriate comments (to say the least.) Her boyfriend says he tries to ignore trolls.
