The Guinness World Records' record for the largest collection of toothpaste tubes
is 2,037 and belongs to Val Kolpakov
(USA), in Alpharetta, Georgia, USA.
Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest tube of toothpaste; it measures 2.957 m (9.7 ft) long and weighs 780 kg (1,719 lb). It was made for the Zhonghua toothpaste brand by Unilever in Shanghai City, China.
Growth Management Marketing and the Old Bridge High School Community hold the new world record at 1,530 participants, beating Colgate's previous Guinness World Records' record
of 1,142 participants at an event held in Times Square, New York in June 2013.
Participants, who paid $1 and received LISTERINE ZERO mouthwash and a pink cup, simultaneously swished during the halftime of the 7 p.m. football game at Lombardi Field, located at the corner of Route 9 North and Throckmorton.
The school selected the home game against Monroe High School because October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The $1 that was collected as a participation fee was donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the world's largest and most progressive grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists.
Growth Management Marketing was able to donate $2,600 to The Komen Central and South Jersey Affiliate.
The project was initiated by Old Bridge High School alumnus Alyssa Monti, who is employed by Growth Management Marketing (GMM) in Piscataway, which specializes in the dental industry.
"We know how important oral hygiene is," said Monti.
"When we came to the realization that dental hygiene is even more important for women going through breast cancer treatment, we knew we wanted to raise awareness about this. That's how we came up with the idea for 'Swish Away Breast Cancer'."
