Satisfaction skyrockets

Most kisses in one minute record broken at Imperial

On Tuesday 6 November 2012, Sarah Greasley, a newly arrived PhD student in the Materials department at Imperial, broke a World Record in Ethos. The record was for most kisses received in one minute. Shockingly, at Imperial there must have been plenty of men out there willing to help her achieve this aim.

Sarah told Felix via email that she is “really happy” about the feat, and that she “would like to thank everyone who helped, especially those who agreed to come along at the last moment!”

Sarah had previously broken three Guinness World Records. The three records were all broken last year. These were for most sticky notes on the body simultaneously, most CDs flipped and caught in one minute, and most champagne bottles opened in one minute. She had previously attempted the most kisses received in one minute record, however the record was discounted due to technicalities. Therefore she re-attempted to break the record, and was successful.

The record, if ratified, will be 129 kisses in one minute. This narrowly tips the previous record of 125.

[Update: the number of kisses and previous record was added.]
