Many Guinness World Records are the result of amazing feats of skill, daring or endurance. Most of them came about after careful consideration, planning and thinking. We might even say, “Man, that guy really used his head!”

Well, now we can say that again.

In this video we can see all the excitement and grandeur of a recent attempt at a new Guinness Record. And he got it! How could he miss? Indeed, one might say he absolutely smashed it.

The only question remaining is, what will this enterprising pioneer of the fusion of athletics and fruit take on next? Maybe he’ll join the teeming ranks of competitive eating or extreme cooking.

Enjoy the (Smashing) Heat!

Somehow, I see the next great advance in food-related athleticism and records as having been foreseen in film, many years ago.

I can still hear Belushi screaming, “Food Fight!”

Just imagine: It’s the Rose Bowl, and Texas and UCLA are squaring off for the Championship. Nearly 40,000 avid food-fighters, loaded up for the competition.

And that doesn’t include the 100,000 folks in the stands, with their tomatoes ready…

I can hardly wait!

Clearly, fruit-related sport is ready to sweep over our fair land. The mind boggles at the possibilities inherent in corn alone…
