A SINGAPOREAN man broke the world record for eating three cream crackers in the fastest time as part of a wacky competition involving attempts at breaking 10 Guinness World Records.

Jeffery Koh, 50, the oldest participant in the contest, polished off the crackers in 14.45 seconds, beating the previous record of 49.15 seconds held by United Kingdom citizen Ambrose Mendy, competition organisers said.

Koh was one half of 10 Singaporean pairs competing over the weekend to break records in events such as downing a 397gm bottle of tomato sauce with a straw in the fastest time, eating the most number of Smarties with a pair of chopsticks in three minutes and speaking the most number of words backwards in one minute.

The couple with the highest score at the end of the two-day event will win 10,000 Singapore dollars ($8076).

Four experienced Guinness World Records judges were flown in from Australia for the event, which is being staged by a paper company, with 79-time Guinness World Records-breaker John Taylor acting as a consultant for the event.
