Idaho man catches popping popcorn for Guinness World Record
Published in Weird News
(UPI) An Idaho man snatched 36 pieces of popcorn out of the air while popping the snack on the stove to break a Guinness World Record.
David Rush, who has broken more than 250 Guinness World Records to promote STEM education, popped popcorn in a pan on his stove and used his hands to catch popping pieces out of the air and place them on a pan held by his 4-year-old son.
Rush managed to catch 36 pieces in 1 minute, successfully earning the record for most popping popcorn caught in both hands in 1 minute. The previous record, 34, was set by fellow serial record-breaker Ashrita Furman in 2011.
Rush credited his son for managing to hold the pan still, even when an errant popcorn kernel flew down his shirt during the attempt.
