Guinness World Records You Could Easily Beat
Assembling a Mr. Potato Head as fast as you can? Well, that's a great world record to attempt because it's a matter of combining practice (and a lot of it) with objects a person is very likely to have around the house. After all, plenty of people have an old Mr. Potato Head and a bucket of parts on a shelf or in storage somewhere, be it a vintage one or a Toy Story tie-in version. And then it's just a matter of figuring out the quickest and most time-efficient order for getting those plastic facial features onto that oblong, plastic man.
Is it eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and then hat? Or does hat, eyes, nose, mouth, and ears work best? It probably depends on the person, and every time they try it, they'll likely shave off a fraction of a second. Before long, they'll be putting their manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination to the test and challenging official Guinness big shots like Samet Durmaz. At a Guinness sponsored event in Istanbul, Turkey, on February 21, 2010, he put together a Mr. Potato Head toy in a blistering 6.62 seconds.
