There are not many folk who have never heard of the Guinness Records Book. It's the dream of thousands to be discussed in this annually updated collection of world records and so prove to be outstandingly good at something. Athletes, as an example, are usually trying their toughest to not only win but essentially break records. It's no different for Canada and some of its residents. Do you actually know what World records does Canada hold?
Do you know at least some of the Earth records of Canada and its residents? I only knew some but after a little bit of research, I feel comparatively knowledgeable and keen to share my just found info with you! Here is some of Canada's (and Toronto's) best past and present world records.
Biggest Smoothie:
Why not to break a record and please 1 of people simultaneously? Mixing a huge smoothie is a fantastic way of reaching both. Smoothies are not too difficult to make, they are savoury, and at the same time excellent for your health. Canadians are sure aware of all that! In 2010, Dairy Farmers of Canada successfully mixed a 1,000-litre blueberry smoothie in Toronto in July 2010 and made a mention in the Guinness books of records.
The 100 pc Canadian smoothie was made of up of 550 litres of Canadian milk, 300 kilograms of frozen Canadian blueberries, 150 litres of Canadian vanilla yogurt, and 35 litres of Canadian honey. A giant number of folks took part in the event and tasted the record-breaking blueberry goodness. Who knows? It might have provoked them to mix their own smoothies at home. Canada is definitely great at that - apparently the prior biggest smoothie was made in our country too. Yummy!
Largest Gold Coin:
For more than three years, Canada was the home of the most notable coin across the planet. In spring 2007, the Royal Canadian Mint issued the then largest gold coin, the face price of which was an excellent $1 million. This valuable piece was 99.999 percent pure gold and its weight was about 100 kilograms (220 pounds). Queen Elizabeth II was pictured on the front side of the coin - it was essentially the biggest official portrait of Her Majesty in gold - and its back showed something standard for Canada, three maple leaves.
Unfortunately , this coin isn39;t the largest internationally. In October of last year, the new largest gold coin was disclosed in Perth, Australia. It's really like our coin: Queen Elizabeth II is depicted on one side, and a normal Australian feature (a kangaroo) is on the other. The coin is, like the Canadian one, 99.999 percent pure gold, but it39;s a LOT heavier. Its weight is a unimaginable 1,000 kilograms.
Longest Street in the world
All those that have ever lived in or at the least visited Toronto certainly know Yonge Street. Not only is it a national historic site, celebrated for offering excellent fun and food, but it is also exceedingly long. While there is rumpus about whether it essentially is the longest street on the planet , patriotic Torontonians definitely believe there is no longer street anywhere, so I just have to say it.
Years prior to it being paved, Yonge Street was a trail used by the Huron First Nation and colonial explorers. The deviser of Toronto, John Graves Simcoe, named the street after the British secretary Sir George Yonge. Until 1998, the blinding 1,178 miles long street was listed in the Guinness Record Book. But without Highway 11, which reputedly isn't actually part of this street, it loses this valuable recognition. Many people, including me, still believe there isn't any longer street in this world.
