According to Guinness Book Of World Records, there are more than 40,000 current records in the Guinness World Records database. About 4000 are published in the book. People think of a world record as something really hard, then people think to themselves, “I could never do it.” Well, here are eight world records and how to break them.

Most Jello Eaten With Chopsticks In A Minute:

Most Sticky Notes Placed On Face In A Minute:

According to The Guinness Book Of World Record, this is how you set your record and become the new record holder. “To become a record-holder requires determination, extraordinary skills and commitment. Before applying for an existing record, check the current information and make sure you’ve got what it takes to break the record. If you are suggesting a new record idea, we recommend that you spend some time searching our current records to see what may already have been achieved in your area of expertise. Every newly approved record idea has to be significantly different from existing records and demonstrate a completely new skill. Being the first to suggest a record does not immediately qualify for acceptance, with around 60% of applications for new records being rejected. However, we are always looking for new exciting ideas to reflect the world’s diversity.”
