I participated in the Guinness World Records – Try this at home challenge again (after they took a month break) and won for the second time. This was for the Fastest Time to Eat a Cream Filled Biscuit.
I was on vacation at Yellowstone National Park with my wife and 2 boys when the challenge was issued so had to find a store with a “cream filled biscuit”. Guinness doesn’t use brand names in their records, but Oreo’s would the the most likely candidate. I found these others at the discount store I stopped in at.
The rules were as such: Place the cookie in front of you. Don’t touch the cream-filled cookie until time starts. Put it on the forehead above the eyebrows. Move it down using only the face (must be touching the face at all times). Eat the cookie. Show the mouth open and empty.
I completed it in 8.8 seconds with a lot of help from my son. He was so cute. He called 3,2,1, go! (several times!), told me to eat the cookie (during the official attempt I used), stuck his tongue like me (so cute! even if I’m forming bad habits), and called out “come on” (like I do most times when I break a record)!
There was a little controversy in the online forums that my “cream filled biscuit” was a little smaller than the typical Oreo (no rules about the size). There was also another competitor that ate it a little faster than me, but he was DQ’d. It appears it flipped on the way down (not allowed) and that there was cookie left in his mouth (also not allowed) so I don’t feel too bad at being awarded the title (even if it required less practice than most).
