"Fastest time to alphabetise the letters in a can of alphabet soup 2 mins 8.6 sec by Jacob Chandler," wrote Guinness World Records while sharing the video on its official Instagram page with several hashtags, including #guinnessworldrecords and #officiallyamazing. The video shows Chandler fishing out the letters from the bowl and placing them on a piece of card, having the printed letters in just 2 minutes and 8.6 seconds.

"I needed to know about that soups specifics like (M vs W) or (O vs Q) and what each individual letter looked like. Many of the letters had similar features and I needed to know that before the attempt," Chandler told Guinness World Records.
