Competitive eater Molly Schuyler set a new Guinness World Record by eating 12 pounds — _12! pounds!_ — of pudding in three minutes. The previous record was just 2 pounds, 15 ounces, so she blew this clean out of the water. Er, out of the pudding? The hosts behind her are full of quips and observations (“I don’t think she’s swallowing, I think it’s just, like, this natural gravitational pull”) but Schuyler doesn’t let it break her focus. She just doesn’t stop eating, except at one point to let out a loud belch. When the three minutes are up, the Guinness rep informs Schuyler that she has officially broken the world record and then he hands her a certificate. _Was this really worth it,_ we imagine her thinking, _all for some crappy little piece of paper?_ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/78448/guinness-world-record-pudding/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/78448/guinness-world-record-pudding/"},"headline":"Watch This Fearless Woman Consume 12 Pounds of Pudding In 3 Minutes","datePublished":"2014-04-28T11:00:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:09:10.272Z","description":"All in the name of breaking of a world record","url":"https://time.com/78448/guinness-world-record-pudding/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink","Food","Guinness Book of World Records","eating"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/78448/guinness-world-record-pudding/","name":"Watch This Fearless Woman Consume 12 Pounds of Pudding In 3 Minutes"}}]}] ```
