As many as 309 people wearing banana hats gathered at a Missouri museum to break a unique Guinness World Record.
History was made when the City Museum in St Louis on Wednesday as 309 people were turned into walking bananas. At 5:30pm, the people donned bright yellow banana hats to register the Guinness World Record for most people wearing the fruity headgear.
An official adjudicator from Guinness confirmed the victory, capping off the museum's "a-peel-ing" stunt. The attempt was a team effort, with help from Explore St Louis, Slalom St Louis and Rasta Imposta Costumes, which supplied the hats, according to UPI.
"We gathered a bunch of friends to set the a-peel-ing Guinness World Records title for most people wearing banana hats with 309 participants! We couldn't have split this record without the help of Explore St Louis, Slalom St Louis, Rasta Imposta Costumes and, of course, YOU," the museum said on social media.
Pictures shared by the museum showed a large crowd adorned with bright yellow banana peel hats looking like a massive gathering of minions.
