• Guinness World Records on The

  • From: GWR_Ralph
  • Description:

    On 23 September 2009 Guinness World Records was present on BAFTA award-winning The Paul O'Grady show for a host of record attempts throughout the programme. The Guinness World Records adjudication team of Ralph Hannah, Mariamarta Ruano-Graham and Amarilis Espinoza invigilated three record attempts and even had time for a special certificate presentation to one of Britain's most popular sportsmen.

    The first group of record breakers were the unsuspecting audience who had been handed a skeleton costume and mask on their arrival to the studio! Only a handful of the audience declined to take part which left 197 people dressed up as skeletons which was enough to set the new Guinness World Records record for the largest gathering of skeletons.

    

    London-based fireman Lee Phillips was the next record aspirant but he wasn't wearing a costume, in fact he was only wearing a pair of underpants. All that was about to change over the course of the show as he tried to set the record for the most underpants worn in one hour - needing to surpass more than 100 pairs of underpants to set the record!

    As Lee was attempting his record, under the eagle eye of adjudicator Mariamarata, a third record attempt was being prepared. Anton, Patrick and James all members of the Paul O'Grady team had lined up for a head-to-head attempt to break the record for the fastest time to eat three pickled eggs. To eat three pickled eggs at all is hard enough especially if, as Patrick admitted to adjudicator Ralph, you have "just eaten a massive dinner" but these guys had to try and do it in under 1 minute 9 seconds! The three attempts can only be described with one word "FAILURE" as Patrick cheated by throwing the egg on another plate, Anton was having difficulties swallowing and while James did swallow all three eggs unfortunately he just couldn't keep them down! All three were officially disqualified by Amarilis, no new Guinness World Records record here.

    

    Lee on the other hand was doing very well and after 45 minutes had flown past the 100 mark but he still had some pants to put on. By the end of the show (also the one hour mark) Lee had managed an incredible 144 pairs of underpants the second new record of the day!

    

    The final person to receive a certificate was none other than the undefeated boxing world champion, the "Pride of Wales" Joe Calzaghe who holds the record for the most consecutive defences of a World super-middleweight boxing title with an incredible 21 straight defences, the last coming in 2007 against Mikel Kessler. He seemed delighted to receive his certificate for the record which can be found in the 2010 edition of Guinness World Records. Overall a brilliant record-breaking show!!

• Most Jaffa Cakes Eaten In One

  • From: gwr_marco
  • Description:

    When I woke up today, the last thing I thought I’d be doing is spending the entire morning looking at the remains of masticated food in people’s mouths. But some would say this is the unexpectedly funny side of my job as Director of Records Management at Guinness World Records™!

    
    I travel around the world to ensure that GWR's rules are being strictly followed on record attempts, and to announce world records. Today, however, only a short cab ride here in London was required, to the Metro newspaper HQ in Kensington, where I was asked to adjudicate a legendary record: the most Jaffa Cakes eaten in one minute. Metro challenged their readers to send in videos of their own attempts in a bid to qualify to try and beat the record, and were inundated with emails from wannabe record-breakers from throughout the entire UK – all wanting to have a crack at attempting the difficult challenge.

    The record to beat was four Jaffa cakes in one minute, and I was a little sceptical, as usual. This was because I’d seen several attempts at this record recently – we even set up one test attempt in our own Guinness World Records offices (although we are not allowed to hold a record, due to conflict of interest, we like to try them out from time to time). But out of all these attempts, no one has ever beaten four Jaffa Cakes in one minute and I had started to believe we had reached the limit of what is humanly possible.
    
    I know what you are thinking: “This is ridiculous, I can do more than that!” Some people claim to have eaten up to 12! However, the rules for this record are very stringent: no drinking, you can only eat one cake at the time and must show an empty mouth before starting to eat the next Jaffa Cake.
    
    The “empty mouth” is the tricky bit. This record is about chewing and swallowing each cake completely. Some people forget to open their mouth to show that it’s empty; sometimes the mouth just isn’t empty! So I was prepared to see more remnants of food plastered around teeth and tongue. But I was in for treat instead!
    
    The selected readers who decided to gamble their reputation in front of a camera had done their homework and all had their very own technique. Drink lots before the record attempt starts, to induce salivation; insert the Jaffa Cake from the chocolate side to facilitate sliding; bite off the rim of the cake to use the orange filling to keep the mouth moist… I am not kidding! The fact is, the training paid off for Andy Robinson, who elevated this record to five without too much effort, and for Paul Wilson, who took this record to what I consider an unbeatable level, managing to eat six Jaffa Cakes in one minute. Anybody care to prove me wrong again?
