A Missouri museum gathered 309 people donning banana hats to break a strange Guinness World Record.

The City Museum in St Louis made history on Wednesday as they turned 309 people into walking bananas. At 5:30pm, the crowd donned bright yellow banana hats to break the Guinness World Record for most people wearing the fruity headgear.

An official adjudicator from Guinness confirmed the victory, capping off the museum's "a-peel-ing" stunt. The attempt was a team effort, with help from Explore St Louis, Slalom St Louis and Rasta Imposta Costumes, which supplied the hats, according to UPI.

"We gathered a bunch of friends to set the a-peel-ing Guinness World Records title for most people wearing banana hats with 309 participants! We couldn't have split this record without the help of Explore St Louis, Slalom St Louis, Rasta Imposta Costumes and, of course, YOU," the museum said on social media.

Pictures shared by the museum showed a large crowd adorned with bright yellow banana peel hats looking like a massive gathering of minions.
