 County Antrim resident Declan McFerrin said he spent four hours refining his technique for attaching all the features to the popular plastic toy before successfully shaving 0.28 seconds off the record previously set by Malaysian serial record breaker Lim Kay Yai in 2022. McFerrin told Guinness World Records, I hadn't seen or owned a Mr. Potato Head since a child. However, I was enticed by the record and gave it my best try. And to my pleasant surprise, I managed to break the record.
