Sharjah24: The Mexican town of Pijijiapan, in the southern state of Chiapas, breaks the Guinness World Record for the largest string cheese ball. Weighing in at 558 kilograms (kg), the ball surpassed the 350kg required by Guinness World Records to break the record, as there was no precedent for the record.
The ball of "quesillo" cheese, also known as "Oaxaca cheese," was created with the work of 80 workers and approximately 6,000 litres of milk.
