What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe are interrupting our coverage with a developing story: a Finnish chef has chugged nearly seventeen ounces of orange soda in three point one six seconds, UPI reports, and set a world record.

  2. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThree seconds?

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThree point one six. Team coverage begins now, and it will already last longer than the record.

  4. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo the can was empty before I finished saying the word breaking. I had braced for something far worse.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe will update you if it becomes slightly more important. Dale, rate the whole block's news for us.

  6. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOne star. Would not trust. Would watch again.
