Honey is one of the most beloved foods on the planet, but can you imagine eating over two pounds of it in under a minute? You’re probably thinking that it can be done, but you’re probably overestimating your throat’s ability to handle viscous liquids. It’s not like drinking water or soda, and it’s not like ingesting solid foods, and that makes it really tricky.
Andre Ortolf, a young German man famous for taking on unusual eating and drinking challenges, recently set out to break the world record for the most honey consumed in a minute. His attempt took place in Augsburg, Germany, and saw him consume 1,273 grams, or 44.91 ounces, of honey in just 60 seconds. Talk about a sugar rush!
A video of Ortolf’s successful record-setting attempt has been doing the rounds online, but it really doesn’t do him justice. He can be seen taking a large spoon to a bucket of honey, but at a pace that would probably make most people choke.
Ortolf’s feat is a testament to both his speed and determination, as well as his experience in unusual eating challenges.
