The 23-year-old Manoj Moharana from Odisha has broken the record of ‘Most straws stuffed in the mouth (hands off)’, by cramming 459 drinking straws into his mouth at once. To break the record, Manoj had to ensure that the straws were fully in his mouth and stayed there for at least 10 seconds without even one falling off.
The record of ‘Most straws stuffed in the mouth (hands off)‘ has been unbeaten for eight years. The previous record was made by Simon Elmore, who had crammed 400 straws in his mouth at the Mark ‘n’ Simon Show in Germany.

The rules for this title state that the challenger is not allowed to use his hands to support the straws during the 10-second period. The challenger is only allowed to use elastic bands around a cluster of straws to hold them together.
