  Wearing most underpants - world record set by Jack Singer

   In 18 minutes, Jack had on his 215 pairs of undies, breaking the previous record of 200. 215 pairs of underwear weighs more than 30 pounds.

   “I feel the most excited in my life,” he said.

   His family helped him with the task, since he could barely stand.
When they reached 195 pairs, Jack had to lie down because his feet were asleep. It’s a lot of underwear, in bigger and bigger sizes to accommodate several inches of underwear bulk. Then 25 more pairs went on, beating the previous Guinness world record of 200.

   “I feel awesome, I can’t believe I broke it,” little Jack said. “I’m very proud of him, it was really hot today,” his mother, Melissa Singer, said. “I wasn’t sure he was going to be able to do it with being focused with everyone being around.”

    Jack is as ambitious and motivated as he is charitable. Instead of birthday gifts, Jack asked people to donate money to Marine Sergeant Eddie Ryan who was injured in Iraq five years ago.
