Aug. 13 (UPI) -- A Kentucky man donned a blindfold and assembled a Mr. Potato Head toy with a record-breaking time of 7.92 seconds.
Conor Shea broke the record for the fastest time to assemble Mr. Potato Head (blindfolded), a record previously held by German serial record-breaker Andre Ortolf, who achieved the feat in 12.11 seconds.
