A Matzah Eating World Record

It’s a dream that many people have, but few have accomplished. People train for years just for the opportunity to be a champion.

I was once like that. A man with just a dream. But I reached for the stars and came back with one the proudest moments of my life. That’s right, I set a world record. This puts me in the same league as Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt and Joey Chestnut.

With Passover coming up in a week, I figured now was the perfect time to get myself in the record books. I got in contact with the fair people at the Universal Record Database, an organization that believes that every person has the right to be best at something.

I told them that I was deserving of my own record and they were happy to oblige in making things official.

What transpired was some of the worst few minutes of my life. But as the saying goes, “No pain. No gain.”

Watch me set a world record…
