Dubai Set a World Record With Epic New Year's Fireworks Show

Did your New Year's Eve party have a record-breaking fireworks show? Yeah, we thought not. 

While you were watching sipping discount champagne out of a plastic cup and wondering why the net of balloons wasn't working, Dubai was setting a Guinness World Record for the World's Biggest Pyrotechnics Display.

Dubai is no stranger to World Records, having earned the World's Tallest Building Title for Burj Khalifa and the World's Largest Manmade Island, among others. The previous record was held by Kuwait, for using 77,282 in 2012.

Dubai broke the record by, oh, just 400,000 fireworks.
