Tulsa-area Chick-fil-A restaurants set a Guinness World Record Wednesday for creating the world's largest iced sweet tea.
Organizers created a nine-foot tall cup that held more than 1,140 gallons of freshly brewed sweet tea and ice. The process required 72 pounds of tea leaves, 1,150 pounds of sugar, one ton of ice and 912 gallons of water.
Official Guinness World Records adjudicator Kimberly Partrick presided over the event and officially called the record. The achievement marks the second Guinness World Record for Tulsa Chick-fil-A Operator Arthur Greeno, who set the record for world's largest soft drink when he created an 834-gallon cup of freshly-squeezed Chick-fil-A lemonade in 2008.
"In the midst of the heat wave we've been experiencing in Oklahoma, there was no shortage of people looking for a nice cold glass of sweet tea and we were glad to oblige," said Greeno. "We couldn't have made it happen without the help of our staff and neighbors throughout Tulsa gathering supplies, brewing the tea and coming out to cheer us on."
