I’ve said it before that if you want to get into the Guinness Book of World Records you can do practically ANYTHING to accomplish that feat.
Case in point: Alphabetizing the letters in a can of Alphabet Soup.
The new record-holder is Jacob Chandler he completed the soup alphabetization in 2-minutes and 8.6-seconds.
A few things Jacob did to ensure his success according to Guinness World Records.com were;
- Locate the proper bowl – not to deep and not to shallow, with a sloped side to aid the sorting process.
- Get the right spoon – according to Jacob, the size and feel in his hands made the difference.
- Research the best soup to use – This included weighing up thick vs thin broth, big vs little letters and vegetable vs meat additives.
- Examine the letters in the soup – This was “extremely critical to know”, according to Jacob, because he had to learn each letter’s characteristics.
Chandler also said, “I needed to know about that soups specifics like (M vs W) or (O vs Q) and what each individual letter looked like. Many of the letters had similar features and I needed to know that before the attempt.”
The Jackson 5 was right, A,B,C / Easy as 1,2,3.
