Six Flags Over Georgia Sets Guinness World Record for Most Couples Kissing Under the Mistletoe
Tuesday, December 15th, 2015
Six Flags Over Georgia set the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the Most Couples Kissing Under the Mistletoe at Once, tonight, December 12, during the second season of its Holiday in the Park celebration. 201 couples (402 people) joined hands and kissed for at least 10 seconds under rOmantic sprigs of live mistletoe from Mistletoeing.com, to set the world record in the all-new Mistletoe Mansion section, during an event sponsored by DenTek.
“Holiday in the Park is a special time of year and tonight, our guests created a lifelong memory by kissing under mistletoe and setting a new world record at Six Flags Over Georgia,” said Six Flags Atlanta Properties Park President Dale Kaetzel. “This holiday celebration is quickly becoming a growing family tradition in Atlanta and we look forward to many more memories that will be created this year and beyond.”
“This is the most exciting event I’ve been to. Everyone was so happy to participate in the record. It is a memory that will last a lifetime,” said GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS Adjudicator Tavia Levy.
“We wanted to create a fun and out-of-the-box way to remind everyone how important it is to take care of their oral health throughout the busy holiday season, which can ultimately affect having kissable fresh breath. Partnering with Six Flags Over Georgia to set a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS is a perfect opportunity to remind everyone to stay mistletoe ready by flossing and protecting smiles,” said DenTek Brand Director Rachel Scharfman. “We are able to ensure that all of the participants had fresh breath for the kiss with our minty Comfort Clean Floss Picks with fluoride.”
