World record attempts are super special, regardless of what the challenge may be. A university in Mexico tried its hand at breaking the Guinness World Record for arranging 14,360 fresh-baked loaves of bread into a line measuring 2.8 miles long.
Students and faculty from Universidad Vizcaya Mexicali in Baja California arranged the loaves of rosca de reyes bread, a traditional bread made in celebration of the January 6 Three Kings’ Day holiday, into a line measuring almost three miles long.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator was present to confirm the line destroyed the record for the longest line of bread. The previous record was measured at a 9,874-foot, 2.15-inch line of rosca de reyes bread in Tiziman, Mexico, back in 2020.
The world record attempt took the university more than 90 hours of preparation by 440 volunteers. The completed bread line featured more than 30,000 plastic dolls inside the loaves, a tradition of rosca de reyes bread.
