00:00Guinness World Records is celebrating its 70th anniversary to mark the publication of their first volume in 1955.

00:10To celebrate, the organization has unveiled 70 unclaimed records, such as the most whoopee cushions sat on in one minute.

00:20Other titles up for grabs are the most kisses in 30 seconds by a pair and the most anchovies eaten in one minute.

01:32Since then, the franchise has sold more than 155 million books worldwide.
