I’ll be honest – I wasn’t sure we were going to break this one. Marshmallows have a useful life-and when we’re going through 60+ per attempt, there are only so many attempts you can make before you run out of marshmallows.

The previous record for the most marshmallows caught in the mouth in one minute (team of 2) was 56. This record has been broken several times through the years since I first applied for it: YouTube star Josh Horton, Japan team on Guinness TV, serial record breaker Ashrita Furman (current holder). I think when I first saw the record it was in the low 40s. Even then it was a stretch to think we could break it which is why it’s been on the back-burner for so long.

After several attempts from 15 feet away, our marshmallow supply was dwindling. Jonathan “Hollywood” Hannon stepped up to the plate and delivered an on-target throwing performance getting 63 marshmallows launched toward my face and we only missed 5 of them in the one minute for a final result of 58 marshmallows caught in one minute.
