Idaho man sorts Peanut M&M's by color in record time

Dec. 15 (UPI) -- Serial world record-breaker David Rush added another title to his name by sorting 17.6 ounces of Peanut M&M's by color in 1 minute and 14 seconds.

Rush, who holds more than 250 Guinness World Records titles, took on the record for the fastest time to sort 500 grams of Peanut M&M's as part of an online challenge for Guinness World Records Day.

Rush said he had to raid his kids' Halloween leftovers and buy two large bags of the candy to have enough to tackle the record.

"And don't forget, Guinness doesn't allow you to waste food, so I have been feasting on the spoils ever since," Rush said in the video of his attempt.
