According to Guinness World Records (GWR), their announcement certifying Nigerian chef Hilda Effiong Bassey, also known as Hilda Baci, as the new record holder for the longest cooking marathon by an individual has become their “best-performing tweet of all time.” GWR shared this information on their Twitter page on June 13, 2023.
Initially, Hilda Baci had completed a cooking marathon of 100 hours, but GWR officially certified her record at 93 hours 11 minutes. This adjustment was made because she had inadvertently taken extra minutes for one of her breaks early on in the attempt, as reported Today
On Thursday, GWR revealed that their tweet confirming Hilda as the new cooking record holder has reached nearly 25 million news feeds, making it their most successful tweet to date. The tweet has garnered 216,000 likes, 85,500 retweets, and 19,200 quotes as of the time of this report.
