World's Largest Snot Bubble Infographic

In all honesty, my infographicing skills have frankly gotten better since I first adapted this, and the quality of the infographic is clearly essential for getting more truth and facts into the ether.

This post was an early one that still seems to get a goof few hits regularly, so here it is, getting the infographic treatment, because I like that kind of thing.

Biggest snot bubble

The biggest nasal mucus bubble was blown by 5-year old Zeke McCluskin of Melbourne, Australia in June 1989. His brother Samuel said, “Zeke started crying when he realised I lied about Hulk Hogan coming to our school, and at first we just wanted him to stop, because he always gets a big snot bubble and it’s gross. But then after 15 minutes the bubble was still getting bigger, so I told my cousin Bill to get a ruler and a camera. Zeke nearly stopped crying while Bill was away, so I had to poke him with a stick a few times, and the bubble actually got bigger.” The final bubble measured 28.7cm across. Although the boys insist the bubble didn’t pop for 32 minutes, the record still stands with Anil Bulpa of Bangalore, India, who sustained a bubble for 3 hours 17 minutes and 20 seconds in 1964.
