Personal experience of a Russian-speaking immigrant: how we set a new Guinness record in New York

“I received an offer by e-mail to participate in setting a new Guinness record for opening gifts,” says the author. YouTube channel "Cinema Wine and Domino" Tatyana Rodina. At first, I took this email as spam. The essence of the record is that 700 people open gifts in 5 minutes. Everything that will be in the gift, you take yourself, plus you also get paid for participating. We are going!

This is what these gifts look like, 700 people have to open them at the same time. The announcement said that the gifts were not bad - headphones, powerbank, scooters, robots. I can’t imagine how they were able to put a scooter in such a box, but I suspect that there are not gifts here, but a piece of paper on which it says that you won, and then with it you go to a certain place and pick up your gift. I wonder what we will win?

You had to show your ID - that is, prove that you are you, show the e-mail to which you received the offer, they put a sticker on your chest to distinguish you from others who want to receive free gifts. You run in, grab a gift, tear it up, see what you won and go home happy. They said that the whole action would take exactly 5 minutes.

A representative of the Guinness Book of Records records that everything is fair and correct. If you touch the box before the signal, you will be disqualified, you will be kicked out and someone else will be put in your place. If you do not have time to unpack within 5 minutes, you will also be disqualified.

We were terribly cold. They said that all this would take 5 minutes, but in fact it took 2 hours. We were warned that if we wanted to get the best seats, we should come early. We arrived 45 minutes in advance, stood and waited until they let us in, and then until everything started. It started not at 13:00, but at 14:00.

As a result, it turned out that the first five tables received the coolest gifts, including us. Two people won a scooter, one won a laser projector, which costs $2500, we won XIAOMI construction sets (Lenin costs $145, mine is cheaper - $45). People also won wireless headphones.

There were a lot of cheap gifts - chargers, inexpensive headphones. Of course, they don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, plus they were paid for the fact that people came today. A Guinness record was set. Now I'm waiting until someone else wants to beat him - I'll go and take part again.
