Singaporeans attempt wacky world records

From the fastest backward talking to stuffing the most hamburgers into their mouths, 20 Singaporeans are gearing up for a slew of wacky feats this weekend they hope will land them in the Guinness Book of World Records.

“Who can slurp down a bottle of tomato ketchup in the fastest time?” blared the news release announcing the two-day event. The current record is 33 seconds for a 392-gramme bottle.
