Noah Versus Ketchup Drinking (Record from Guinness)


Hi guys, good to have you back here. I'm sorry that this next post took a while.  I've been busy the past few weeks. :)

This next challenge is to prove doubters wrong on what I have claimed in my first post (quoted below):
     "I don't care devouring red hot chili peppers, drinking ketchup in straw, or eating raw ampalaya."

I remembered watching Guinness World Records on TV since I was 12.  I'd be amazed to see people with unique talents breaking world records.  Unfortunately, not all records are interesting and something you can brag about.  Some of them are plain silly like moonwalking for the longest distance in an hour, clipping the most number of clothes pegs in face and growing the longest ear hair.  I just say to myself, "Man, these guys are crazy as s**t."  But sad to say here I am trying to break one of the silliest records I can recall.

Me vs Heinz

The Challenge

Whoever created this "world record" must be one crazy ***.
Name:  Fastest Heinz Tomato Ketchup Drinker
Age: Since 1876 (134)
Height: 6 in.
Weight: 300g net wt
Notable Attributes:  The record to beat is to finish 90% of a 400g Heinz Tomato Ketchup in 33 seconds using a straw.  This will serve as a qualifying round if I can finish the ketchup close to the world record.
Versus 
Name: Noah
Age: 25
Height: 5 ft 10 in
Weight: 180 lb
Notable Attributes (against opponent):  Loves Ketchup so much that consumes 400g bottle in 3 sittings.  Can pair ketchup to any fried food (pork, beef, fish and egg), sinangag na kanin, corned beef, canned goods, dinuguan and many more.  Be able to identify what brand of ketchup by tasting them blindfolded. E.g. Heinz, Del Monte, UFC, Jufran, Mafran, Papa and Maggi.

Below is the footage of the attempt to break the record.

The results:
     65% of 300g net wt in 20 seconds
The world record:
     90% of 400g net wt in 33 seconds

The reason I wasn't able to continue after consuming 65% of the ketchup was the straw being too short for the bottle.  I didn't anticipate the problem because i thought that if I tilt the bottle, I can still drink some of the contents.  Maybe next time, after making some adjustments, I can do much better and probably make it to the Guinness.

I might say I did pass the challenge 'cause I didn't puke and most importantly, I was not too far for breaking the world record.  Witnesses Carol, Kate, JL and Gelo (cameraman) agreed on my claim.
