After conducting a brief study among Vat19.com's employees, I've compiled a list of the 5 most difficult two-word tongue twisters. It's unlikely that you'll ever say some of these word combinations, but it's fun to try to say them and even more fun to listen to others try to say them!

Try to say each combination of words 5 times fast.

5. Request report
I had a friend that could not even say this one time, at normal speed.

4. Girl gargoyle
"Gargoyle" isn't a very common word, and it is even less common to specify that the gargoyle is a girl.

3. Toy boat
OK, this is one that you might actually say, although you probably wouldn't say it 5 times in a row unless you were a little kid whining that you wanted a toy boat.

2. Rural juror
Some people can't even say "rural" or "juror" separately!

1. Irish wristwatch
Neither myself nor any of my co-workers could say this 5 times fast. Heck, once is hard enough!

If you know some really difficult tongue twisters, feel free to leave them in the comments so we can all give them a try.

You know the old saying – “If you want to find a prince, you have to kiss a lot of frogs.” The same holds true for products. In order to find plenty of curiously awesome products to bring to our customers, we look at hundreds of potential items every week. Most of them are pretty boring – candles, country kitchen oven mitts, mystical oils with labels that talk about chakras – and then there are companies like Likkit.

Likkit makes the most disgusting product we’ve seen in a long time – a line of tongue necklaces. Unless you work in a very liberal atmosphere, their site probably isn’t safe for work.

According to Likkit’s page, they’ve been in the tongue business for 35 years now. Even Salvador Dali has gotten in on the tongue action, wearing one of their bear tongue necklaces to a premiere event back in the 70s. Tongues range in price from around $50 for the “Lady in Waiting Mini Likk” to almost $250 for their beefy giant “Big Snarl”. We’re sure it’s a great product for someone, but that someone isn’t us.
