Hold onto your nose! In a contest that’s fishier than a detective novel, a brave Swede crushed a Guinness World Record by chowing down a whopping 13.85 ounces of fermented fish in one slimy minute.
The Disgusting Food Museum in Malmö, Sweden, dared competitors to tackle surströmming—fermented herring that could peel paint with its stink. This fish is so notorious for its smell, it makes grown folks gag from yards away.
Competitors battled not just their appetites, but also their gag reflexes. Museum officials cheekily quipped, “Can you swallow your pride along with the fish?”
After a fierce “smell-off,” a 71-year-old legend named Sune Valentin Norlin emerged triumphant. His secret? “You’ve just got to swallow it,” he said, revealing his unconventional strategy.
And guess what? Sune’s gutsy gulp earned him the ultimate prize: a Guinness World Record. The museum applauded his “iron stomach and legendary determination,” declaring him a champion in both appetite and endurance.
Hats off to Sune, the ferocious fish-feaster who conquered the challenge that could make a skunk blush. His legacy will forever swim on in the record books—just remember, it’s not about the fish you eat, but the record you break, and the odors you endure!
