The next time someone tells you that you have a big mouth, tell them it’s not nearly as big as Marie Pearl Zellmer Robinson’s, the lifelong Ketchikan resident who has just earned her jaw-dropping place in Guinness World Records as the world’s largest mouth.

From a young age, Robinson knew she was different. “I’ve always kind of known I had a big mouth,” she told the Ketchikan Daily News, recalling childhood tests involving oranges, lightbulbs, and even Jenga blocks that she could fit into her mouth to entertain her seven siblings.

After years of mouth-gaping humor, she had her dentist measure her mouth and make the official record: It’s between 7.23 and 7.33 centimeters — significantly larger than the previous record holder, Samantha Ramsdell, who measures a mere 6.52 cm.

A lifelong fan of Guinness World Records, Robinson at first didn’t even know that there was a category or the world’s largest mouth in the women’s category. For now, she’s the record holder and likely to hold onto that record for the foreseeable future.

  1. For her husband, there are pluses and minuses. Minuses include larger food bills, more ear plugs,
    more embarrassing moments. Pluses…….leave that one alone, as this is a family friendly site.

  2. In the land where the glaciers kiss the sea,
    Lived a woman as fierce as the cold could be.
    With jaws so wide and strong and grand,
    She could crush a crab with just one hand.

    Legends whispered in the midnight sun,
    Of salmon leaping just to run—
    Not from bears or nets that day,
    But from her smile a mile away.

    She chewed through ice, she snapped through trees,
    Spoke in growls that shook the breeze.
    But kind she was, with a heart so wide—
    As deep as fjords where secrets hide.

    So raise a toast to the Northern Queen,
    With the mightiest jaws you’ve ever seen.
    A hero bold from the frozen thaw,
    The pride of Alaska—jaw by jaw.

  3. Purple hair aside, she sounds down-to-earth. Might as well enjoy the attention. Ktn on the map!

    I hope her dentist gives her a big-mouth discount.

  4. With teeth so white and lips so pink
    It’s hard to say what we should think
    We may have found the missing link
    But could she fit the kitchen sink?
