A Guinness World Record for the most s’mores being made simultaneously was set Thursday night, after 423 people roasted marshmallows, chocolate and graham cracker sandwiches were made at Huntington State Beach.
Beachgoers braved a cold wind and gathered around fire pits as the sun set for the event, put on by clothing company Hollister Co. and SeriousFun Children’s Network. The new record beat out the old one of 407 people set in May in Wisconsin.
Guinness World Record adjudicator Sarah Casson flew in from New York to make sure the record was legit. There were strict rules, including the marshmallows being roasted for at least 10 seconds, all had to be roasting at the same time and the s’mores had to be immediately assembled.
