Inspired by the projects his father built, 12-year-old Eric Klabel from Napervillede, Illinois (USA) has worked diligently to officially assemble the world’s tallest popsicle (冰棒) stick structure. Measuring a height of 6.157 m (20.20 ft), his record-breaking tower is now a project that can be seen from a distance—as well as one to make his dad proud.

Eric first decided that he wanted to pursue a record of his own after witnessing other record-holders achieve records titles in a video by Guinness World Records. Knowing his skills and talent for popsicle stick sculpting, he knew this was the perfect craft for his very first attempt. While determining the shape formation of his title-holding structure, Eric came to the conclusion it was a better to form his attempt in the shape of a pyramid, to ensure a strong supported framework.

Eric says the most difficult part about executing this record would be ensuring the tower was properly built so that he could make it as high as possible. “To make the tower I had to build the same three feet long vertical structure many times, which got very repetitive, though it was still very fun to see it getting taller and taller.” One of his favorite moments during the attempt was stepping away from his hard work and admiring the height and overall measurement of his creation. To Eric, seeing his hard work pay off was rather rewarding.
