While you were sipping your drink, Dinesh Shivnath Upadhyaya was setting the world record for the fastest time in which to finish a bottle of ketchup.
Finish drinking it, that is. Guinness World Records posted this video of Upadhyaya taking on the challenge – and winning. The man from Mumbai used a straw with a diameter of 6 mm and drank almost the entire content of a 500 gm bottle in 25 seconds.
There was no information on whether he chased the ketchup down with fries. But eating and drinking is genre of world records – most! quickest! – that shows no signs of going on a diet anytime soon.
