It took a couple tries but today I broke the Guinness World Record for the Furthest distance to blow a pea (in one breath). I actually broke the record on the first try but only by 2 inches. On the second try, we lost track of the pea. It probably would have been my best effort but we couldn’t find it… it went that far that fast. We had 30 eyes and 4 cameras on it and we still lost it. After a good 30 seconds of looking, we finally located it and it was well past the record mark but we didn’t have enough evidence to prove it. On the third try I flubbed it entirely but on the fourth, I nailed it. The pea flew.
The peas had to be commercially available, fresh, and non-frozen. I brought an entire bag and the students opened them up to help me find the perfect pea. The record was previously held by Coby Cotton of Dude Perfect – a man I’d like to meet someday.
Thanks to Boise High School for having me out again.
