What is the longest gum chewing record?

The longest gum chewing record is held by Chad Fell from the United States, who chewed a single piece of gum for 8 hours and 35 minutes in 2004. This feat required immense jaw strength and endurance due to the continuous chewing motion. It is important to note that attempting to break this record can be potentially harmful to one's jaw muscles and should not be done without proper training and supervision.
