Canadian man has over one million gum wrappers in chain
A Canadian man who began a chain of chewing gum wrappers as a child in 1965 has passed the million mark.
Gary Duschl's chain of Wrigley's wrappers stretches just over eight miles, equivalent to 29 Empire State Buildings.
He began the chain, which now weighs almost 600lbs, as an 11-year-old when schoolmates began making them.
"I wanted to have the longest in the class. Then the longest in the school. Then the longest in the area,'' said Gary.
He unsurprisingly holds the record for the world's longest gum wrapper chain. The president of Wrigley's even wrote to him to say: "Very few people have the ability to 'stick' with a project as long as you have.''
Gary, who now lives with his wife in Virginia, keeps the chain in eight boxes and adds an average of 72 wrappers every day, says the Virginia-Pilot.
He has his own website which he uses to encourage people to send their chewing gum wrappers to him.
