    TORONTO — It's a record that could stick.
     
    A Toronto university says its students, faculty and staff have unofficially broken the Guinness World Record for the most people blowing a chewing gum bubble simultaneously.
     
    Ryerson University says 1,203 people — mostly first-year students — gathered on Wednesday afternoon for the record attempt.

    Guinness World Records officials are expected to confirm Ryerson's unofficial record in the coming weeks.
