A few years back a British study found that half the people in the world just don’t like Brussel Sprouts [the veggie, not Belgian children]. Apparently it’s because sprouts contain a naturally occurring chemical that makes them taste bitter to people with a certain genetic anomaly -- a condition that afflicts 50% of the world, reports the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. But that didn’t stop Wayne Sherlock, the new holder of the Guinness World Record for downing 33 Brussel Sprouts in 60 seconds-- two more than the previous record holder could stomach. How did he do it? Said Sherlock, “I just chewed like a pig and while doing that looked around for the smaller sprouts.”
