The GBWR lists the worlds longest chopsticks as being manufactured in Japan in 2009, and measuring 27'6" (8.4 meters) in length. However, these were created in 2010, and measure 30 feet (9.14 meters) in length (I measured them to verify, and they actually seem to be about 3/8 of an inch longer than 30 feet). So actually this is the true record holder. They were made by Zhuang Zi Zhao and Josh Blewett, and are from a cedar tree, using chainsaws and wood sanders, and are hand painted. They are sitting outside for the world to see (and measure) 24/7/365. The Guinness website with the erroneous listing is here:
