A man from Idaho, United States of America, named David Rush, has broken a Guinness World Record by holding 150 lit candles in his mouth for 30 seconds.
Rush has, as a result, successfully broken the record of 105 candles set by Garrett James in 2021.
He said he has nearly broken 250 Guinness World Records in order to promote STEM education, adding that he had previously attempted the same record in December but failed, when some of the candles fell out of his mouth.
“The weight of all the candles was intense and I had over 10 minutes of salivating making the candles slippery in my mouth.
“Only 5 seconds in, I could feel them slipping out, so I had to clamp down harder and bite in with my teeth to keep them from falling out”, he said.
