No Need For Drugs When You Have 624 Hugs
No Need For Drugs When You Have 624
Hugs
Record breaker Alistair Galpin has done it again. With 624 hugs, Galpin broke the world record for most hugs in an hour beating the previous record by 12 hugs.
With the help of TV ONE’s Good Morning, Galpin succeeded in breaking the world record though he fell short of his own goal of hugging 700 people.
Hugging guidelines stated that no one person could be hugged more than once and all hugs had to be genuine with each person having both arms embracing the other person being hugged.
Besides the title for most hugs in an hour, Galpin also holds titles in snapping the most cucumbers in a minute, and breaking the most vinyl records in 30 seconds.
