Fastest Time to Drink One Litre of Lime Juice Through a Straw
Hey, everyone, it’s David Rush, this time, I’m back with one of the most intense and downright unpleasant records I’ve ever tackled: the fastest time to drink one litre of lime juice through a straw. Spoiler alert—I hated every second of it.
I used to hold this record with a 17.3-second slurp, beating the previous time of 21.8 seconds. But then, someone came along and knocked me off the throne with a 16.8-second chug. I didn’t want to reclaim it, but, you know, defending records is part of the job.
I knew it would be brutal. During practice, I siphoned a litre of water through a straw—and immediately threw up. The sheer volume stretches your stomach so fast it feels like it might burst. Not fun. But I couldn’t back down.
On record day, I was ready—or as ready as anyone can be for something like this. As soon as the clock started, I sucked, slurped, and swallowed like my life depended on it. My strategy? Force the lime juice straight to the back of my throat, bypassing my taste buds entirely. Easier said than done.
Each second felt like an eternity. The acid hit my throat, my stomach ballooned, and the urge to stop was almost unbearable. But I powered through. After 15.5 seconds of pure agony, the record was mine again.
Was there a celebration? Not really. My victory party involved sprinting to the sink to “return” the lime juice, which, on the bright side, cut my recovery time from a 24-hour stomach ache last time to just six hours this time. Progress?
Another record in the bag—or should I say the belly. It’s not glamorous, but that’s the price of being a world record holder.
I’m David Rush, the guy with the most Guinness World Records titles—and, apparently not the strongest stomach in the game. Come on!
