465 couples set world record for eating spaghetti strand together simultaneously

They’re passionate — and competitive — when it comes to their pasta.

A restaurant chain in Germany assembled 465 couples to reclaim its title for the most people eating a single piece of spaghetti simultaneously, Guinness World Records reported this week.

Vapiano, a pasta and pizza franchise based in Cologne, first set the record in 2020 to commemorate their limited-edition dish of 60-cm long pieces of linguine called “Italian Kiss.”

The expression refers to when two people slurp on the same strand of pasta that ends with their lips touching, reminiscent of the 1955 Disney film “Lady and the Tramp.”

That original record was later broken by the Belgium housing association Upgrade Estate with 433 couples, so Vapiano endeavored to take back its crown.

The eatery gathered the massive group of couples at the Tempelhof airport hangar in Berlin on July 6, International Kissing Day.

To create a romantic dining experience, the hangar was decorated to look like a restaurant, complete with tables draped with red tablecloths, which took 20 hours to complete.

A mobile kitchen was brought in to make the copious amount of spaghetti.

Rules for the record-setting stated that the spaghetti couldn’t break while participants were eating it and had to be gobbled up in 30 seconds.
