- A 20-year-old man in England fought off pandemic lockdown boredom by setting a World Record.
- Last April, Declan Evans wondered if there was a record for the fastest time to drink a Capri Sun juice pouch. There was no such thing.
- Evans got in touch with the Guinness Book of World Records to determine the parameters for setting the mark.
- The rules were simple. Evans had to time himself, starting with the Capri Sun straw still in the plastic. He would need to poke the hole in the bag AND THEN start drinking.
- Evans accepted the challenge, and in August last year, he set the record time of 16.65 seconds.
- He said, "It is a stupid record to hold, but that is the fun of the Guinness World Records. I think it will definitely get beaten. I wouldn't say it was that fast. It is a silly record anyone can try, but I am proud to have it, and it is still a world record. Once I achieved it, it was quite rewarding, and I want to try more records in the future."
