We have loads of super skills records that no one has ever claimed or that have gone unchallenged for years…
Oldest drag queen
The oldest drag queen (male) record was last officially broken in 2016 by Walter “Darcelle XV” Cole (USA), who was still performing at the age of 85 years 273 days.
While his record was never extended after that, Walter remained active in the drag world until he died of natural causes at the age of 92 in 2023.
Walter was the proud owner and operator of club Darcelle XV Showplace in Portland, Oregon.
Are there any drag queens out there older than Walter was when he claimed the record?
Oldest drag king
We’ve never had a record holder for the oldest drag king (female) – could it be you?
To claim the title, this person will have to be performing as a drag king either as an individual or as part of a group and should be at least 79 years old.
Most clothes pegs clipped on a face
The record for most clothes pegs clipped on a face hasn’t been broken since 2013 when Garry Turner (UK) managed a total of 161.
Garry, who also has the world’s stretchiest skin, has a rare condition called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which affects the connective tissues of the skin, ligaments and internal organs.
Garry broke this record numerous times, first in 2001 with 133 pegs. He’s gone unchallenged for over a decade.
Fastest time to eat three cream crackers
This is one of those records that people think is much easier than it actually is.
But the fastest time to eat three cream crackers hasn’t been broken since way back in 2005 when Ambrose Mendy (UK) did it in 34.78 seconds.
How fast can you do it?
You’re not allowed to have anything to drink during the attempt, by the way.
Highest shallow dive
It’s been 10 years since Darren Taylor, AKA Professor Splash (USA), broke the record for the highest shallow dive.
He plummeted from a height of 11.56 m (37 ft 11 in) into just 30 cm (12 in) of water.
Do you dare to go even higher?
Most Cadbury's Creme Eggs eaten in one minute
The record for most Cadbury’s Crème Eggs eaten in one minute has stood at six since 2014.
It was broken by Peter Czerwinski (Canada).
Each egg has to be wrapped at the beginning of the attempt and must be completely eaten before you can begin on the next egg, although you can start unwrapping the next one while you're still eating.
How do you eat yours?
Most Ferrero Rocher chocolates eaten in one minute
Peter also jointly holds the record for most Ferrero Rocher chocolates eaten in one minute with Patrick Bertoletti (USA).
They both managed nine, setting their records within days of each other in January 2012.
No one has outdone them since.
Each Ferrero Rocher has to be wrapped at the beginning.
You can unwrap the next one while you're still eating but you must fully consume one before you start eating the next.
Most olives eaten in one minute
It was all the way back in 2012 that Ashrita Furman (USA) broke the record for most olives eaten in one minute with a total of 60.
Do you think you could eat more than one olive a second?
The rules state the olives must be eaten one at a time, from a plate and with a teaspoon.
They have to be pitless, black olives and the plate must stay on the table at all times.
Farthest distance football (soccer) crossbar hit

The football has to be kicked from a minimum distance of 60 metres.
