The Guinness World Records' record for the largest shaving cream pie fight involved 815 participants and was achieved by the Cornerstone Christian Fellowship (USA) in Chandler, Arizona, USA, on 15 September 2013.
Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest custard pie fight: 3,320 pies thrown by 2 teams of 10 in 3 minutes at the Bolton Arena, Bolton, UK on 29 August 2005 at an event arranged by Acdoco (UK).
Just ahead of nationally recognized "Pi Day," which naturally falls on March 14, members of Patch's Math Honors Society got to work planning what they hoped would be the biggest shaving cream pie fight in history, The Stars and Stripes reports.
On March 12, the Patch team, which comprised 550 high school students, together with 120 elementary school pupils and community members, reached a record-smashing tally of 1,002 pies.
"We had a bit of a dilemma for getting enough shaving cream," said Patch office assistant Susan Phillips, who led the shaving cream collection campaign.
"We ended up getting a total of 620 cans."
Phillips worked with commissary officials, who in turn worked with supplier Proctor & Gamble, to get the shaving cream at a discounted price of $1.29 per can, she said. To help collect funds for the pie fight, the Math Honors Society held a bake sale — selling pies, of course.
