Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers? If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked? Betty Botter had some butter, "But," she said, "this butter's bitter. If I bake this bitter butter, it would make my batter bitter. But a bit of better butter-- that would make my batter better." So she bought a bit of butter, better than her bitter butter, and she baked it in her batter, and the batter was not bitter. So 'twas better Betty Botter bought a bit of better butter. I slit the sheet, the sheet I slit, and on the slitted sheet I sit. She sells sea shells by the sea shore. The shells she sells are surely seashells. So if she sells shells on the seashore, I'm sure she sells seashore shells. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Here in the Midwest, there's a fast-food chain that seels hamburgers called 'butter burgers', which are basically just hamburgers with butter on the bun. Anyway, their slogan is:
A better brand of beef makes a butter burger better. Which is kind of a tongue twister (try to say it five times fast).
Supposedly the hardest one in English:
The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick. Difficult to even say slowly!
Big bad bug's black blood. (This one's only difficult when you repeat it several times quickly.)
Ik las bij Kelly, no.7 "wat was wat voor wat wat was?".
Een veel mooiere vind ik: "Wat was was eer was was was?" Antwoord: "Eer was was was was was is" Het komt uit een limmerick van Kees Stip, waarin een bij mee deed aan een quiz. Het geheel weet ik niet meer; vind ik het nog ergens dan zal ik het u laten weten.
Arie Ritmeester,
Kelly's tongtwister is in Afrikaans and not Dutch.This would explain the difference.
