Toughest Tongue Twisters

Tongue twisters are fun for using as grammar practice sentences or for teaching literary terms like alliteration, consonance, and assonance.  I found a two contenders for the title of toughest tongue twister in the English language.  


Researchers at MIT created this to be the hardest:


Pad kid poured curd pulled cod.


The Guinness Book of World Records says that last one is the hardest.  


The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick.



The official Extreme English Teacher position is that the 'Sheik' one is far tougher than the MIT one.
