A girl set a new world record

Mr. Potato Head came out in 1952 and was the first children’s toy ever to be advertised on TV. Since the toy appeared, assembling it in the shortest time has become a true challenge for children all over the world.

The earlier world record was set by a Japanese with 423 times. When he jumped rope more than 500 times, he was too tired. He said that his willpower helped him finish the last 200 times.
