The Guinness World Record attempts conjure images of superlatives and perhaps a splash of competitive pride. Attempting to challenge a world record usually in a competitive category like a cookathon throws a spotlight on a country.

Imagine the buzz that was generated during “Mama D’s” cookathon stemming right from different blogs, influencers, and media coverage that in the long run catches the world’s attention.

With the collective effort in pursuit of the world record, a community spirit is fostered. Imagine hundreds of citizens being inspired by one act of a hero whose pursuit in this is fostering the notion of climate change optimism in the face of overwhelmingly negative outlooks.

“With the collective effort in pursuit of the world record, a community spirit is fostered.”

But when used strategically, these records can become powerful tools for promoting a positive national image, fostering community spirit, and even tackling social issues.
