Aaron Nienaber from Minnesota, USA, has etched his name in the Guinness Book Of World Records by throwing a tortilla at the farthest distance. Aaron achieved this feat in December last year, by throwing a tortilla 119 feet 3 inches (36.34 m) away. However, his achievement came to light after the official Instagram page of Guinness World Records shared the video. The official GWR site revealed that “Aaron had previously held this record and wanted to reclaim it.

This world record left the internet amused. Several users in the comments section pointed out that nowadays many “random” world records are being made. A comment read, “Why are there so many random records? It's getting out of control.”
A user quizzed, “What's next? Longest frying pan throw?”
Another commented, “What's next? The longest throw of a car?”
Some said that this way people are “disrespecting food.”
“Gosh! Playing with food is one of the worst things... no matter the record,” said a person.
A user wondered, “Is that supposed to be impressive.”
"So we are just throwing food now," said another.

It must be noted that before Aaron Nienaber, this record was reportedly set by a British man, Oliver Miles, who covered a distance of 90 feet, 11 inches. He decided to attempt this world record after watching a YouTube video during the COVID-19 lockdown. He achieved the feat in 2022. In a conversation with GWR, Oliver revealed that initially when he was trying the record, he could only achieve a throw of 30 feet,1 inch. But practice made him better.
Before Oliver Miles, the farthest tortilla throw world record was held by Idaho's David Rush, who threw a tortilla 54 feet, 5 inches away. This feat was achieved back in 2019.
