@Neil, there is no way to draw a clear line between the contents of this mug and honey in terms of what is and isn't a liquid. Our decision stands.
Neil Moallem
My main argument here is that the contents of the mug are not a liquid. I could have added cement glue (a liquid) to a handful of small pebbles (a solid) but that would not count as a liquid. Honey, however, is in fact a pure liquid
Benjamin Gross
Coming from the little kid who is crying about every record he loses. QQ more hater.
Neil Moallem
"Trolled", seriously? Alex Gross, you are a child, please stop commenting on records without your mother's permission.
alex Gross
why is everyone mad because ben does records right and they all start yelling and everyhting at him kinda funny if you ask me... LOL TROLLED
Neil Moallem
Dan, Benjamin never shows the ground to show that no liquid spilled. For all we know, his so called liquid (which is absolutely NOT A LIQUID)could have spilled everywhere. That is not a liquid by the way
Dan Rollman
Following the precedent we set by approving honey as a liquid earlier in this category, we are standing by our decision and accepting this attempt.
Benjamin Gross
so by your explanation honey shouldn't be allowed either? After all its nectar(a liquid) mixed with natural yeast(a solid)....GOML
Dustin Barker
water is a liquid... so you coulda just used that. But you mixed it with a non-liquid.. so i find that this doesnt work
Benjamin Gross
actually it is a liquid..A liquid can flow, assume the shape of a container..good try its just thick (kinda like honey but even better) stop hating because I doubled your distance.
Dustin Barker
this is not legit... this is not liquid
Dustin Barker
lol @neil... no kidding this is retarded. that is starch 'mixed' with a liquid. that isnt a liquid
Alyjha Williams
I need to find a place like this I got kicked out 3 walmarts 2 krogers a mall and toysr us trying this and when I did beat josephs(by like 5 inches) The cop made me delete the videos
Neil Moallem
I don't understand how this was accepted, the contents of the mug CLEARLY solidify. Quite bizarre
Neil Moallem
Hahahaha as soon as we are ready to do the mug slide, an entire volleyball team walked into the hallway. What luck
Schuyler Van Horn
'You guys are setting a world record? Can we watch?' Ha. looks like you made some new friends, neil. good record btw.
Dan Rollman
@Alyjha To add clarity to your question, we've added "Mug used may not be significantly larger or smaller than a standard-sized mug" to the criteria. We want to keep everyone on the same playing field.
Alyjha Williams
Does it matter on size of coffee mug?
Alyjha Williams
wow i cant type this is what i meant does it matter on size off coffee mug?
Alyjha Williams
Tires does out matter on the size of the mug
Rob Birdsong
Hi Christpohe - we've had to DENY this attempt for the same reason we DENIED Spencer Thomas record. NOTE TO ALL ATTEMPTERS: Please document the liquid being poured in to the mug.
Rob Birdsong
Record goes back to Benjamin. Spencer, you have to properly show the pouring of the liquid in to the mug.
Benjamin Gross
lol i know it was a joke i wasnt planning on it :)
Rob Birdsong
@Benjamin, putting plastic lids or any other cover on the mud is not in line with the spirit of the record and will not be permissible.

Though it's a popular legend, generally, scientists do not agree that glass is a liquid. http://dwb.unl.edu/teacher/nsf/c01/c01links/www.ualberta.ca/~bderksen/florin.html

there is a product on the market called slush powder. It turns liquid into a slush instantly. You put a 1/2 a teaspoon of powder in the cup you could pour the water to the top of the mug
Benjamin Gross
if your going by technicality on things in this video they didnt meet the criteria of - must pour liquid into mug on video.....so glass is an idea i guess :)
Neil Moallem
Glass is technically a liquid but it is not a liquid that can be poured or that can spill which excludes it from your available selection of liquids
Jordan Brown
"Glass actually IS a liquid...". That's good enough for me.
Neil Moallem
I totally agree with Peter. Both putting glass in a mug and covering the mug with something are definitely crossing the line. But basically any viscous liquids put into the mug should be accepted
Peter Craig
Haha, never tried drinking windows before :) obviously it wouldn't be suitable to do this one with glass, I was intrigued to find out it's not "technically" a solid. I think the honey was a clever side step of the criteria but covering the mug does cross the line canceling out the criteria of spilling
Alyjha Williams
this will clear everything up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1nBQgcW7UQ
Jordan Brown
I'll just put a bunch of glass in a mug then. AND NO ONE CAN STEAL MY IDEA.
Neil Moallem
Glass actually IS a liquid but that's besides the point. OBVIOUSLY we can't put something on top of the coffee mug to keep the liquids from spilling out. Aside from that, I don't see what all the fuss is about. We thought of a new method and we crushed everyone else's attempt, simply put
Alyjha Williams
we cant do it its stealing
Jordan Brown
I'm aware of this. I've tried drinking my window. Impossibru.
Peter Craig
@Jordan there's debate and discussion about glass: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass#Glassversussupercooled_liquid
Jordan Brown
@Peter: glass isn't a liquid.
Benjamin Gross
or put a lid/ plastic qrap over top since it says nothing about that... :)
Peter Craig
WHAT!! Honey?! now that's a stretch of the criteria to find all the possible loopholes :) Hopefully previous setters can use the new "technique" to their advantage. Technically glass is also considered a liquid so I guess the wording "liquid" as apposed to "water" was avoided. Next we'll be seeing a 2 foot wide mug
Alyjha Williams
i was so going to do this but thought it would count
Christophe Flodstrom
You clever dog... It's a gentleman's challenge! May the best man win!
Christophe Flodstrom
If by different method you mean magic and sorcery... I'm on to you...
Neil Moallem
Hahahaha none of the above, we just used a slightly different method than everyone else. More will be revealed my friends...
Christophe Flodstrom
Uncanny man. You must have cheated, or you're a witch/warlock/sorcerer. All of which are not good, and thus I should automatically win.
Neil Moallem
Yeah I noticed that too Christophe. But a friend and I just did 360 inches which should be up soon so it doesn't really matter THAT much haha
Christophe Flodstrom
Wait... why is mine the current record again? I don't want to give up my record, but his attempt seemed legit.
Alyjha Williams
it gets cooler http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChGxwRq3YcI
Christophe Flodstrom
I would argue, but... you're right. Rex beans are kinda cool. Dang.
Alyjha Williams
nah but were all cool i fell like theres like maybe 10 of us doing these records
Alyjha Williams
you know whats cooler than a christophe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3ZHoFodb4Y
Christophe Flodstrom
I also wish I was as cool as me.
Jordan Brown
I wish I could be as cool as you Christophe.
Christophe Flodstrom
I'm on a computer without speakers, so I have no clue what Piccolo said in that. But if I had speakers and understood the content of the video, I would come up with some witty response. Seeing as it is not the case that I have speakers, refer to link. http://www.google.com/imgres?q=cool story bro

That seems more like an accusation than I thought. I'm confident that the purpose of that rule is to establish that what's in the cup is a liquid, not some gel or other less mobile substances that wouldn't spill as easy. However, I demonstrate that the cup is filled with water by shaking it at the beginning of the video, and filming from an angle where you can see that it is 3/4 full. I go through many measures to demonstrate the legitimacy of my records, including slowing this video down to show my release of the cup. Please pay mind to your own records and desist your undermining of the judgement of the moderators of this contest.
Alyjha Williams
Dan Rollman
Though I have the utmost belief in Brian's integrity and honesty, @Jeff is right. This video doesn't clearly demonstrate the release point. We're going to deny it. Brian and Kenneth, I encourage you both to try again this weekend, and be sure to provide extremely accurate documentation.
Rob Birdsong
Kenneth your 2nt attempt was denied on account of the mug not being 3/4 full. Please make sure to fill and film a fuller mug.
Jeff P
how can anyone actually tell where the mug was released from his hand? His body blocks that view completely
