Michigan Woman’s Record-Breaking Poop In Bowling Alley Revealed

There is a load of stories about a woman who broke the world record 26-foot long poo.  Do the stories pass the smell test?

Researching stories like 'the longest poop in the world' isn't the worst part of my job, but it's a solid #2.  Recently, someone sent me a TikTok telling the story of a woman in Michigan breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest poop.  She allegedly did so, publicly...in a Bloomfield Hills, Michigan bowling alley.  My curiosity got the best of me.  I guess you can say, I couldn't hold it anymore.  So, the research began.  I stepped into this article called 'Fun Poop Facts' from the Hello Tushy website that said this about the alleged rectum record,

Please read this next line in the voice of Maury Povich.  The case of Michelle Hines taking a 26-foot-long poo in a Michigan bowling alley to break a world record...is a hoax.

The Midwest manure doesn't stop there.
