Arun Icecreams, one of India’s most loved and popular ice cream brands, has created a new Guinness World Record by bringing together 4,008 children in Chennai to form the Longest Chain of People Licking Ice Cream.
As part of this unique and joyful record-setting initiative, the children relished Arun Icecreams’ butterscotch- and chocolate-flavoured Jolly Train, made with real milk and cream.
The record was achieved as participants consumed ice cream continuously for one minute while forming a human chain—holding hands and offering ice cream to the person on their right—creating a seamless and well-coordinated experience.
R. G. Chandramogan, Chairman, Hatsun Agro Product Ltd., said, “This is a truly cherished moment to see over 4,000 children come together to set a Guinness World Record in ice cream eating. Our journey has always been driven by a commitment to consistent quality and the simple joy that ice cream brings to everyone.”
The previous record was set in Canada 15 years ago with approximately 2,500 students, making Arun Icecreams’ achievement a significant milestone on the global stage.
The Guinness World Record was officially recognised by Richard William Stenning from the UK Guinness team and Milind Verlekar from the Pune Guinness team.
The certificate and honour were presented to C. Sathyan, Vice Chairman, Hatsun Agro Product Ltd., in the presence of participating schools, including Narayana Group of Schools, Nellai School, Ramachandra School, Suda Nanda Vidyalaya, Budding Minds, SV School, Vels Global, and Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan Senior Secondary School.
This Guinness World Record further strengthens Arun Icecreams’ legacy as one of India’s leading ice cream brands, supported by a strong retail footprint and an extensive product portfolio catering to diverse consumer preferences across the country.
