However, GWR has taken to its official Twitter page to clarify that it no longer recognizes records for extended eating marathons.
While the organization once tracked such feats, it has since updated its guidelines.
According to GWR, consumption records are now based on the rate of consumption rather than duration, with attempts typically lasting only up to three minutes depending on the type of food.
Afua Nash has yet to publicly respond to GWR’s clarification, but the incident has sparked discussions about authenticity in record-setting attempts.
We no longer monitor records for eating over a long period of time, though we did in the past.
Nowadays, we still have consumption records but they are based on the rate of consumption and so are limited to a short time frame of up to three minutes, depending on the food.…
