German man drinks liters of lemon juice, lime juice to reclaim world records

Dec. 4 (UPI) -- A serial world record-breaker from Germany reclaimed two of his former titles in a single day by drinking liters of lemon juice and lime juice.

Andre Ortolf, 30, previously held the records for the fastest time to drink a liter of lemon juice through a straw and the same record for drinking lime juice, but lost both this year to fellow serial record-breaker David Rush.

Ortolf's lemon juice time was 16 seconds, which Rush beat with a time of 13.53 seconds. Rush also beat Ortlof's lime juice time of 16.82 seconds, performing the feat in 13.99 seconds.

Ortolf has now reclaimed both titles, with a time of 13.3 seconds for the lemon juice and 13.51 seconds for the lime juice.

He said breaking both records in a single day had only minor consequences.

"In general, I usually don't have any problems with eating and drinking records," Ortolf told Guinness World Records. "And this time, too, my stomach felt relatively good, but I had a toothache. It only went away after a day."
