Man Breaks Record by Eating M&M's With Chopsticks

<snip>

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Three minutes after Jim Hager started eating M&Ms with a pair of chopsticks, he was headed for the Guinness Book of World Records.

The 47-year-old Oakland resident gobbled 115 M&Ms in 3 minutes Sunday, breaking a previous record of 112 Smarties consumed by Kathryn Ratcliffe of England in December 2002.

The new record won't become official until event organizers send documentation to the Guinness association, including a videotape, photographs and written declarations from witnesses, but it seems likely he'll have his place in the list.

For his efforts, he received 25 pounds of M&Ms courtesy of a local candy store that sponsored the event.

Seems like calling it the Big Book of Amazingly Useless, Stupid, Freakish and Overbearing Achievements would be more accurate...

:P

When I was a kid, the records were all about the tallest person, the biggest person, the fastest animal, etc. Why the f*ck does it matter how many M&Ms you can eat with chopsticks?

Doug stephens had this on Monday. They thought it was funny too.

And give me her number. :evilgrin:

With chopsticks? We've evolved past that it's called a



SPORK!

I thought the point of M & Ms was that you could eat them with your hands because there was no chocolate mess. Why use chopsticks?

I mean, isn't there a difference? I can pick whichever candy I want to try to break the record? Seems odd...

Uh, can I have a pound of those M&M's, Jim? Mmmmm..M&Ms! :9

They're easier to grab, kinda stick together anyway, and it would be fun squeezing the life out of them a little before you ate them. :9

You could say you ate 15 in 2 seconds! :D

Mmmmm...gummi bears! :9

I couldn't eat a single M&M in three minutes with chopsticks! I just tried, and it's going to take me a while to clean-up the M&M's from off of the floor, under my desk, behind my computer, etc..

Fastest land vehicle, tallest building, deepest dive...



not this BULLSHIT that passes for world records today like:
Longest pubic hair still attached, most boogers blown through a tissue in a minute, most flamable fart and of course can't forget most crap eaten in a decade on TV by any country (which of course goes to the US)
