Record bid fails as evidence is eaten

Iran failed to register what was said to be the world’s largest sandwich - after people started eating it before it was measured. It had taken 1,500 cooks two days to stuff more than 2,000lbs of ostrich meat into the 5,000-foot-long sandwich, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Event organisers had planned to display the world’s largest ostrich sandwich in a park in the capital Tehran. But as the sandwich was being measured, people started eating it and the giant snack was gone in minutes, leaving the three Guinness Book of Records representatives unable to confirm the record.
