465 Couples Share Spaghetti Strands For “Romantic” (?) World Record Attempt

A restaurant chain (in Germany) gathered 465 couples to recapture a romantic Guinness World Record for the most people eating a single piece of spaghetti simultaneously.

Vapiano originally set the record in 2020 to celebrate a new dish called “Italian Kiss,” which is a term for when two people share a single strand of pasta until it either breaks or ends with the eaters’ lips touching.

The Italian kiss was brought into popular culture in a famous scene from 1955 Disney film “Lady and the Tramp”.

Vapiano’s record was later broken by a group of 433 couples and the chain decided to take it back with the help of 465 couples.

The record required each spaghetti strand consumption to end in a kiss, and the couples had to complete the process within 30 seconds of starting.
