1,273 grams of honey in exactly one minute. That was what Andre Ortolf, a German citizen from Augsburg, Bavaria, consumed on July 26, 2025, before the eyes of Guinness book verifiers.
To put it in perspective: nutrition experts recommend not exceeding one tablespoon of honey per day, about 10 to 12 grams. Ortolf ingested more than 100 times that amount in the time it takes for a traffic light to change color.
Guinness describes him as “a prolific record holder in the field of eating and drinking at great speed”. It is not his first strange title — but it is one of the hardest to believe. 🍯
