It got me curious, so I started doing a little research on the Guinness Book of World Records set in each state, specifically focusing on the Tri-State area.

It's pretty amazing how many unique records are out there and many that I didn't even know existed!

Here's what I found for New Jersey and nearby states, according to MentalFloss.com, which talked about "The Weirdest Guinness World Records Set in Each State."

Longest Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony -

Here's what the article said about New Jersey's world record...

The Garden State has a few things to boast about, including the most shoes sorted in one minute and the world’s oldest tick—which is about 90 million years, thanks to being frozen in amber. But the real pride comes from having the world’s longest ribbon in a ribbon-cutting ceremony. In 2013, the state re-opened the Jersey Shore after Hurricane Sandy by draping a 5.51-mile-long ribbon along the coastline.
