If you know anything about the Guinness Book of World Records it's probably that there sure are some strange ones listed. You can find records for the world's stretchiest skin, longest fingernails, longest kiss, and even the world's largest pillow fight.

Believe it or not, if you look hard enough, Sioux Falls can even be seen in the Guinness World Records. And the record it holds is so bizarre that you never could have guessed it.

Sometimes you have to wonder how some "world records" even exist. How does one think of something so unusual to pursue and why does it deserve to be recognized? Well, this record set in Sioux Falls took place just a couple of years back and it most certainly falls into the "unusual" category.

That's right, Sioux Falls' claim to fame in the Guinness Book of World Records relates to the fortune cookie. Specifically, the record pertains to the "Most People Opening Fortune Cookies Simultaneously".

According to its website, here's how the strange world record went down:

The most people opening fortune cookies simultaneously is 339, and was achieved by the Sioux Falls Young Professionals Network (USA) in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, USA, on 15 August 2019.

The Sioux Falls Young Professionals Network hosts a bi-annual convention called the Crosswords Summit. As part of their theme of "Be The Change," they wanted to make history and break a Guinness World Records title.

LOOK: How Halloween has changed in the past 100 years

Stacker compiled a list of ways that Halloween has changed over the last 100 years, from how we celebrate it on the day to the costumes we wear trick-or-treating. We’ve included events, inventions, and trends that changed the ways that Halloween was celebrated over time. Many of these traditions were phased out over time. But just like fake blood in a carpet, every bit of Halloween’s history left an impression we can see traces of today.
