DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 23, 2023 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — It was just confirmed, Move For Hunger, a national non-profit organization that fights hunger and food waste, successfully broke the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the Most Cereal Boxes Toppled in a Domino Fashion with Topple Hunger.
The previous record, set in 2021, stood at an impressive 6,391 cereal boxes. Move For Hunger shattered that title with a staggering 12,952 cereal boxes toppled during the event held at the Henry Ford Detroit Pistons Performance Center, thus raising the bar and hosting the biggest cereal domino topple ever seen.
Beyond the excitement of breaking a world record, this endeavor also focuses on a nationwide crisis – raising awareness about the significant issues of food insecurity and food waste in the United States. The record attempt will help provide half a million meals to communities in need, and there’s still time to support the cause.

To help make this challenge possible, WK Kellogg Co and Kroger generously donated the cereal used in the topple attempt, and the United Dairy Industry of Michigan contributed a gallon of milk for every serving of cereal donated. Additional support came from Hellmann’s, the Lineage Foundation for Good, University Moving & Storage, and the Detroit Pistons, who all strive for a world without hunger or food waste.
“We had an incredible time partnering with these amazing sponsors to attempt to break a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title and support the local Detroit community,” stated Adam Lowy, Executive Director and Founder at Move For Hunger. “Feeding 500,000 people from toppling cereal boxes is a feat we could only dream of a few months ago! We are so incredibly grateful for everyone involved that helped make this event possible.”
In attendance for the October 12th event were both Tony the Tiger and the Detroit Pistons mascot, Hooper. Tony the Tiger had the important responsibility and honor of knocking over the first domino – a box of Special K® cereal.
After the event, all the cereal and milk used were delivered to Forgotten Harvest and Gleaners Community Food Bank in Greater Detroit, ensuring that the food doesn’t go to waste and reaches those who need it most.
