UPI – In just 13.64 seconds, an Idaho man guzzled down a litre of lemon juice through a straw, eyeing a Guinness World Records title – but also ending up with a sour stomachache.
David Rush, known for his record-breaking feats with over 250 Guinness World Records and 164 titles to his name, had previously held the record at 16.5 seconds.
However, German record-breaker Andre Ortolf managed to snatch the title with a 16-second gulp, prompting Rush to give it another shot.
This time he managed a time of 13.64 seconds.
“The experience was far from pleasant; this time I even had a reversal of fortune for about a quarter of it,” Rush wrote. “Yet, in a way, I’m grateful. It probably sped my recovery.”
Rush’s latest attempt, which must still be reviewed and approved by Guinness World Records would bring him to 165 concurrent world records.
He is aiming to hold the most records of anyone in the world, a goal requiring him to hold at least 183.
