Beat A World Record In Less Than 30 Seconds

The Rules

1. Pull the underpants on both legs 
2. Put them on like you normally do
3. Only one pair of underwear at once

As with other world records, either an official adjudicator should be present and verify your record, or you should be recording the attempt and have witnesses that can confirm you did it.

Our tips

Make sure your underwear is light and stretchy. Try different techniques. The previous record-holder for this attempt, Silvio Sabba ( provided in the video), jumped while putting the underpants on as a hack to not waste time. Prepare the pairs of underwear in front of you and in advance.

The Rules

1. Use your regular toilet paper supplies.

As with other world records, either an official adjudicator should be present and verify your record, or you should be recording the attempt and have witnesses that can confirm you did it

Our tips

Light and soft versions of toilet paper are much more practical to use. 

The Rules

Our tips

Clean the table to make space. You should have only your stopwatch, domino pieces and chopsticks while you practice. Arrange the domino pieces in a row; that way, it would be easier for you to take them with the chopsticks. Sit on a comfortable, steady chair while you attempt to break this record. 

We’re not entirely clear on what was the inspiration behind this attempt but will probably know more about that once the temperature falls. This record is set back in October 2017 by Pavol Durdik from Slovakia. He managed to put on 28 socks on one foot. Pavol, we can say that there is no such thing as cold feet for you mate, great job!

Pavol also holds a number of other records. We interviewed him and here's his message for you:

"Everything can be overcome. It is important not to be afraid and start."

The Rules

Our tips

Make sure the socks are from stretchable, light and thin material. Prepare the socks you plan to put on in advance so you don't waste extra time. Find a position you're comfortable in. Pavol was kneeling on the other leg, while pulling the socks on the other, as you can watch in the video. 

When life throws lemons at you…make sure you catch them, blindfolded. This is a challenging one if you believe your partner, make sure he doesn’t prank you. Andre and his partner set this record this year in February. He managed to catch an impressive 40 lemons. 

The Rules

1. Use regular lemons
2. You should remain still while catching the lemons ( either sit or stand )
3. Use your hands only when trying to catch the lemons

Our tips

For this one, you should really have a good sense for your surrounding even blindfolded. Practice first with softer objects in order to feel the setup. Try to develop consecutive intervals so you'll know when the lemon/object is thrown at you ( example, on every 6th second the lemon is thrown at you ) 

The Rules

Our tips

This is achieved with continuous practising only, as it is a mix of skill, work, talent and trick performance. So, make sure you start today!

The Rules

As with other world records, either an official adjudicator should be present and verify your record, or you should be recording the attempt and have witnesses that can confirm you did it. 

Our tips

Follow the progress of your exercise routine and measure how many jumping jacks you can do in 30 seconds. This is not for you if you are not exercising regularly, have weak knees or simply-haven't done them in a long time. Start with small steps and maybe you'll make it! For rookies and beginners, know your powers and keep this idea for later. 

The Rules

As with other world records, either an official adjudicator should be present and verify your record, or you should be recording the attempt and have witnesses that can confirm you did it. 

Our tips

It may seem easy, but there are many failed attempts online. The teabags are very light, and it is quite challenging to throw them in the mugs. Find the perfect posture and practice, and you'll eventually place one and reward yourself with a nice cup of tea. 

The Rules

As with other world records, either an official adjudicator should be present and verify your record, or you should be recording the attempt and have witnesses that can confirm you did it. 

Our tips

Your face should be clean and make sure it's not sensitive to the stickers' glue cause you might cause inflammation. Plan the process first; you're allowed to use both hands, so use this in your advantage and plan a winning strategy. 

It is not surprising that we are starting with this challenge. There are few reasons for this. We all love burritos, and most of us have devoured one of this tasty Mexican delicacies rather fast. But nobody does it faster than Leah Shutkever.

And that’s the second and perhaps the most important reason why we begin our presentation with this record. Leah Shuktever is a rather remarkable person, she currently holds ten records and shows no intention of stopping there. We did an interview with Leah and she said some interesting things. Have a look!

Now, a bit more about the burrito challenge itself. There is a video of Leah completing this challenge. It’s quite impressive! If you think that you have what it takes to eat a burrito faster than 35.26 seconds, or at least come close to Leah’s record, it will cost you about £6, or the price of the average burrito. Just order your favourite burrito from the best Mexican place in your area and you won’t even need to leave your living room in order to try it out.

We interviewed Leah, and here's what she said: "The overriding message is to never put yourself in any kind of 'box' the only confines you have are the ones you set yourself, so if you want to change the world in some way, go do it".

The  Rules

1. Standard burrito size, the main ingredients used should be present 
2. Your moth should be empty in the end, and every bite chewed and swallowed 

As with other world records, either an official adjudicator should be present and verify your record, or you should be recording the attempt and have witnesses that can confirm you did it.

Our tips

Make sure you approach this record with attention, cause fast-eating might cause you trouble and it's bad for your overall health. This is for those that already tried the fast-eating challenge and are comfortable doing it, for others-enjoy in every bite and start with a reasonable note :)

Pizza is a natural and understandable choice when it comes to fast eating. After all, we eat pizza fast anyways, at least most of us do.

But, eating a pizza fast with a knife and fork might be a bit of a challenge, but not for this guy. Kelvin Medina from the Philippines is the current record holder of the “Fastest time to eat a 12-inch pizza using a knife and a fork” and his record is 23.62 seconds.

We did an exclusive interview with him and here's his motivational message:

"There will be tough times while training, during the contest and even on the road but it’ll be worth it if you give it your 100% best every contest or food challenge!"

The Rules

1. You should be using a knife and fork all the time.
2. You mustn't bring a piece of pizza to your mouth using anything else but the fork.
3. You must finish the pizza. 

As with other world records, either an official adjudicator should be present and verify your record, or you should be recording the attempt and have witnesses that can confirm you did it.

Our tips

1. Practise using a knife and a fork. It is more difficult than it seems, Kelvin cut himself during practice.

2. Try a smaller pizza first, or just a few pieces, so you can get used to eating pizza fast using a knife and a fork. Then you could improve the quantity. 

3. Use a lighter pizza, without too many toppings, ideally a Margherita. 

Sure, it is easy to eat a lot of smarties fast. They’re small and not that challenging as eating a burrito in 35.26 seconds. Yes, but it is quite challenging when you try to eat them using chopsticks. And that’s precisely what Kathryn Ratcliffe managed.

Mind you, she set this record back in 2011, so apparently it’s not that easy, otherwise, someone would’ve broken her record by now. In this video, Kathryn explains how to eat smarties with chopsticks.

We did an exclusive interview with Kathryn where she shared some interesting insights on eating smarties with chopsticks and breaking records in general. Her message is simple: 

"Practice little and often, don’t give up if you fail the first time and most importantly, have fun!"

The Rules

Our tips

The Rules

1. Use alphabet soup from bags/cans
2. Use the spoon when arranging the alphabet 

As with other world records, either an official adjudicator should be present and verify your record, or you should be recording the attempt and have witnesses that can confirm you did it. 

Our tips

Here you just really pay attention to the timer and be focused. As you're not allowed to use the other hand when looking for the letters, pick carefully and in small spoon portions-it would be easier to spot the letters you need. 

The Rules

1. Regular Big Mac package 
2. You have to eat everything, 
3. The time stops when you chew and swallow the last bite. 

As with other world records, either an official adjudicator should be present and verify your record, or you should be recording the attempt and have witnesses that can confirm you did it. 

Our tips

As we said, don't try to break this record unless you have experience in fast eating. These moves can be quite dangerous to your health and wellbeing, no matter how greedy or hungry you are :) Stay safe and sound, and be smart above all. 

The Rules

There is no official data regarding rules, it depends on your taste preferences and the size of the slice. It should be the regular size of toast bread. As with other world records, either an official adjudicator should be present and verify your record, or you should be recording the attempt and have witnesses that can confirm you did it. 

Our tips

As we mentioned for other fast food eating records, take this challenge lightly and make sure you have previous experience. Fast eating could be harmful to your health and wellbeing, so make sure you know what you're getting yourself into. Be smart and aware of your possibility above all. 

The Rules

As with other world records, either an official adjudicator should be present and verify your record, or you should be recording the attempt and have witnesses that can confirm you did it. 

Our tips

We hope you're a fan of fresh grapes, but as we mentioned a few times-make sure you know that fast eating can be harmful to your health. Grapes come in small-shaped ball bits, so be aware that you might choke. Estimate your possibilities, and stay smart and sage above all.  

The Rules

As with other world records, either an official adjudicator should be present and verify your record, or you should be recording the attempt and have witnesses that can confirm you did it. 

Our tips

First, practice eating with chopsticks if you're not that skilful. We recommend to try different brands of jelly and compare the taste. Once again, fast eating could be harmful to your overall health. 

The Rules

As with other world records, either an official adjudicator should be present and verify your record, or you should be recording the attempt and have witnesses that can confirm you did it. 

Our tips

Avoid flavoured or spiced ketchup brands ( ones that are hot, spicy or have additives that remind us of a taste, like the pizza ketchup ) it will be easier for you if you stick to the regular one, with a mild flavour. Once again, make sure you're comfortable and confident in your ability before attempting this, as it's not a drink we try or consume on a regular basis. Maybe you are a fan and put ketchup on top of everything :) but this is completely different. Stay cool and safe! 

The sweetest challenge. To be honest, the author of these words was almost compelled to try to break it. It’s not because I believe that I can do it, it’s because I love Ferrero Rocher so much.

Come to think of it, this doesn’t seem like too difficult of a challenge – it’s just 9 Ferrero Rocher chocolates. Bear in mind that you’ll need to eat one in less than 7 seconds though, and that the record is tied by two people, so it might not be easy as it seems. 24 pieces of Ferrero Roche weigh 300 grams and we believe this amount will be sufficient if you are to try to eat at least ten pieces of chocolate in a minute.

The Rules

1. Every Ferrero Rocher chocolate has to be chewed and swallowed one by one 

Our tips

You have to have a sweet tooth for this one. It seems very easy, but the fact that this record is not broken since 2012 says that it needs attention. Be careful with fast eating and approach this challenge wisely. 

Wait, solving Rubik's and hoola hooping at the same time? That is impressive. Well, Wendy Diaz in 2019 made this look so effortlessly, solving 100 Rubik's cubes while balancing the hoola hoop. Think twice before you call yourself a multi-tasker after this. 

Terry ''Turbo'' Burrows from the UK has been challenging himself and the competition in this cleaning discipline. He cleaned three standard 45x45 windows for 9.14 seconds! This took place back in 2009 at the National Cleaning Competition in Blackpool. We say that is a very squeaky clean score. 

According to the available data, back in 2012, a boy from India named Daksh Choudhary took a shower in 33.18 seconds. His aim was to celebrate the world record day and raise awareness to save water. No official rules are set whatsoever, but we assume that you have to soap up every inch of your body... right?

The Rules

1.No official rules have been registered while we did the research.

Our tips

This is really an ability to spot details around you and be focused and persistent. Try next time you walk in nature or visit a new valley. 

This is a record that all of us have attempted, perhaps unconsciously, in our youth. It may seem easy, but blowing the largest bubblegum bubble is extremely difficult. This is one of the oldest records on our list, it was set 16 years ago. Mind you, in 16 years nobody managed to beat this record and blow bubblegum larger than 50.8 centimetres in diameter.

It might be quite challenging to blow a bubblegum bubble but attempting this record will be pretty cheap in terms of cost. You will just need a quid to spare to buy enough bubblegum. It interesting to note that before Chad Fell broke this record back in 2004, the previous record lasted ten years and was set by Susan Montgomery Williams in 1994 and the bubblegum blown by her was less than one centimetre smaller in diameter. 

The Rules

1. You're not allowed to help yourself by using your hands.

As with other world records, either an official adjudicator should be present and verify your record, or you should be recording the attempt and have witnesses that can confirm you did it. 

Our tips

Explore different bubble gum brands and estimate their structure and elasticity. Test, write notes and of course-practice! 

The  Rules

1. You have to balance the ball continuously
2. If the ball falls, the attempt is over 

As with other world records, either an official adjudicator should be present and verify your record, or you should be recording the attempt and have witnesses that can confirm you did it. 

Our tips

Before you start, make sure you are comfortable in terms of your posture and body position, as this record requires to balance the ball for at least 51 minutes to break the current record.

Okay, I have to admit, this sounds like a joke, but it isn’t, it’s a legitimate record, another one that’s held by David Rush. In this video you will hear him say that this is his 76th record. The record was previously held by one of the Cotton twins from Dude Perfect.

What can I say about this record? Well, first, you will need a very large house if you are to try this home and second, you will need a pretty big lung capacity. You can’t breath through your nose, so it would be best to practice with a nose clip, similar to the one that David has on in the video.

It’s not just about the record and get online and media coverage, although it is pretty cool to become a record breaker. A lot of people are good at a lot of things, but

The Rules

1. You must use a nose clip.
2. No circular breathing is allowed.
3. You are not allowed to touch the pea with any part of your body

Our tips

For this record you should practise breathing and be good and holding your breath. Once you are ready you can try with a pea.
You will need enough room to try to beat this record.

The Rules

1. Your second hand should be behind your back.
2. No shall is allowed to fall in any of the cups or bowls used for the record.

As with other records, an official adjudicator should be present to officialise the record, otherwise, you will need to record the attempt and have witnesses who can confirm.

Our tips

This is a rather difficult record. We would recommend mastering the process of cracking eggs with one hand first, without attempting to break Ross's record. Once you are confident you can try to crack multiple eggs in a minute. Bear in mind that the previous record was just 16, so a result of 10 or dozen eggs in a minute is a fairly good result. 

Know how you have to do hundreds of selfies before choosing one that you actually like? Use that critical side of yours if you want to try this one. Patrick Peterson from the USA did 1.449 selfies, surely enough to inspect every single angle of your face. 

The Rules

1. You are allowed to do one selfie at a time. 
2. Autoportrait and other multiple talking photo options are not allowed

As with other world records, either an official adjudicator should be present and verify your record, or you should be recording the attempt and have witnesses that can confirm you did it.

Our tips

Obviously, for this one, you have to be comfortable to take selfies from yourself. Make sure the pictures you take are clear and presentable, ready for upload in a quality format that does not take much space. We talk about making 1400+ selfies in an hour, so you should check your battery and phone memory before the attempt.  

This is a fun one if you like to be the main attraction of a cocktail party or...just because you feel like it. This record is set by Anatole Iwanow on February 2020. He managed to place 399 paper straws in total in his beard. Is there a place for 400, what do you think?  

Unofficial sources report that this record was broken this year in March by Joel Nert. According to the video (provided here), he managed to place 509 paper straws in his beard. 

The  Rules

1. Use regular paper straws used in restaurants/bars
2. Place them either horizontally or vertically 

Our tips

Well, you have to grow a curly, thick beard first, then the rest is history. If you are blessed with this trait, you only need a large number of paper straws to keep yourself entertained while trying to break this record. Good luck! 

The Rules

Our tips

​It seems like a very long period of time and it is, but balancing itself is not that difficult, the only challenge is whether you'll manage to last over an hour and eight minutes. Try balancing an empty glass first and see how well you manage. Needless, to say, you can use water when practising, it doesn’t have to be wine.

The Rules

1. As stated in the title, your palm should be down, as in facing downwards.
2. You must demonstrate that you can hold the eggs for at least few seconds.
3. All eggs must remain unbroken.

As with other world records, either an official adjudicator should be present and verify your record, or you should be recording the attempt and have witnesses that can confirm you did it. 

Our tips

This record was set recently, so there hasn't been a lot of attempts. This doesn't mean it is easy, but it probably is easier than some other records. Start practicing with fewer eggs and see how that goes. Perhaps you can use objects that are similar to eggs in shape and size, so that you can avoid breaking a lot of eggs during practice.

The Rules

1. Use tablespoons or teaspoons only.
2. They should be equally placed on the face. 

Our tips

Make sure you have a plan about placing the spoons on your face. Explore different combinations and spots on the face that are suitable and optimal for placing few spoons like the cheeks.  

The Rules

As with other world records, either an official adjudicator should be present and verify your record, or you should be recording the attempt and have witnesses that can confirm you did it. 

Our tips

When attempting this record, make sure you have set a surface that will prevent the cups from breaking. This is great in case you fail, and be ready for it if you're not experienced in this. Pillows, big mattress or spongy surface will be perfect. 

The Rules

1. Use regular balloons that you previously inflated
2. You're not allowed to tie any threads to the balloon for helping
3. You must balance the balloons with the head only. 

Our tips

The Rules

1. You must balance the rolls on your forehead.
2. You mustn't use your hands after you place the rolls on your forehead.
3. You must balance the rolls for a full 30 seconds.

As with other world records, either an official adjudicator should be present and verify your record, or you should be recording the attempt and have witnesses that can confirm you did it.

Our tips

This is one of the records that seems easier than it actually is. We recommend using a one-two-one-two setup when arranging the rolls, but feel free to try out other combinations as well. Start practising with fewer rolls and then keep adding more once you improve your balance.

The Rules

1. Use regular-sized chicken eggs 
2. No other tools are allowed that will eventually help with the balancing

Our tips

Make sure your surface is clean and not smooth or slippery, as it will be harder for you to stack the eggs. Check whether the eggshell of the eggs is clean. Practice with other objects before you try with eggs ( table tennis balls, egg toys or other ) 

Fan of Lego’s? Challenge your relative/partner and try to break the record of 35 criss-cross lego bricks stacked in 30 seconds achieved by Silvio Sabba and Julijana Jankovska from Italy. Together they’ve set multiple group records.

The Rules

Our tips

​Again, coordination and speed is the key to break this challenge. Make sure your lego bricks are in good shape and have not potential factory flaws that might interfere during the attempt. 

This requires some training, but it is achievable. Andre Ortolf and Sandra Totzke from Germany set the record for 79 tennis balls caught in a bucket on the head. Make sure you are well coordinated with your partner and go for the win! 

This record has been unofficially broken by David Rush and Jonathan Hannon this April, managing to catch 98 tennis balls out of 123 thrown tennis balls. You can see their attempt in the provided video footage. 

The Rules

Our tips

Both the one who throws and catches the ball is equally important during this attempt. The bucket seems large in depth and diameter, however, we assume that it can become heavy once you catch, for example, 30 tennis balls. 

On the more romantic and steamy side, the longest kiss lasted 58 hours, 35 minutes and seconds, achieved by Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat from Thailand. This record was part of the Ripley’s believe it or not event in Thailand in 2013. All you need is love! 

The Rules

Our tips

​This is definitely the most challenging record in our list by far. Not only your love will be put to the test, but your physical and mental endurance as well. Our advice is to start small...if you can keep the fire burning for hours, than make sure the world knows about it! 

The Rules

Our tips

To us, it seems achievable, but definitively you'll need to practice coordination and synchronicity with your partner. After all, you'll be blindfolded and you'll need to rely on your other senses like smell and touch. Timing is essential here, so make sure someone measures your time with a stopwatch. Everything below 17 seconds will make you the new holders for this record.

Ok we admit- we couldn't resist, we had to go with this one. After all, it would be comfy to think about breaking a record laying on your king-sized bed. Benjamin Kannenberg and Benjamin Thompson (Benjamin and Benjamin) back in 2015 set a record of 32 hours, 32 minutes and 32 seconds spent in, well, hugging. They came up with the idea while procrastinating during their freshman year. Charming. 

The  Rules

1. Participants are allowed to have 5 min break every hour, which they are allowed to save up for a more extended break if they prefer.
2. Participants can be fed and given water. They can shift position but are not allowed to change the position of their arms. 

As with other world records, either an official adjudicator should be present and verify your record, or you should be recording the attempt and have witnesses that can confirm you did it.

Our tips

Make sure you are coordinated with your partner and don't have any health-related issues that might cause you trouble when attempting to break this record. It is a quite challenging one, worth to enter in the believe it or not edition. On the funnier side, if you're willing to test your affection and endurance, go for it and make sure you document the process.

Papercraft sure brings us some great childhood memories, so why not recall to these times? Ashrita Furman and Homagni Baptista set this record in Malaysia at the beginning of 2020. They made and flew seven paper aeroplanes in total. Looks pretty easy, don't you think? Just watch the time! 

The Rules

Our tips

If you enjoy folding paper and love to make different objects out of it, call a friend and challenge yourself. Time is crucial here, and no help is allowed by others. Make sure you're not outdoors trying this record on windy weather, closed room/space is just fine. In the end, don't forget to recycle! 

The Rules

1. The person who throws the sponges has to be three metres away.
2. They have to be full hits to the face. 
3. Your hands must be behind your back during the challenge.

As with other official records, there must be either an adjudicator present when you attempt the record, or you should be recording it and have a witness who can confirm that you did it.

Our tips

You must react quickly and make sure that you place your head in a position so that the sponge hits you square in the face. Close your eyes in time, so that you will manage to sustain the hit without water getting into your eyes.  Then open your eyes fast enough to be able to see the next sponge as it approaches your face.
