A man set two Guinness World Records for drinking Mountain Dew and tomato sauce at lightning speeds.

According to the Guinness World Records website, Long Island, N.Y., resident Eric “Badlands” Booker—whose trade is that of being a YouTube personality—managed to chug a liter of Mountain Dew in under seven seconds (6.80 seconds, to be exact).

“Alright, we’re about to do this,” said Badlands in anticipation. “Hopefully I get this down in under nine seconds but you never know.”

And he did, all in front of a crowd who counted down the moments till he finished his drink. They were also, apparently, promptly treated to what Guinness describes as “a belch that could almost compete for the loudest burp” (which, by the way, was louder than an electric drill).

But Badlands didn’t stop there, oh no: This chugging champion pivoted to another drinking challenge straight afterwards, knocking back a few cans of tomato sauce in a little over a minute.

UPI reports that this isn’t Badlands’s first gastric rodeo in the slightest: The Long Islander is currently ranked 23rd in Major League Eating and has a series of rap albums titled “Hungry & Focused.”

His Major League Eating bio also states that Badlands is known as “The People’s Champ,” and boasts screen credits such as an appearance on the original ABC reality series, “Wife Swap.”

Badlands expressed he’s looking to setting records with solid foods next.
