Watermelon is a summer favourite. From ice cream to fresh juice, we are spoilt for choice when it comes to this sweet, yummy delight. Agree? But imagine relishing a watermelon without cutting it into pieces; instead, crushing it with the head. Surprising, right? An incredible Guinness World Record was achieved by a Pakistani man named Muhammad Rashid. He crushed 32 watermelons in a minute, that too while being blindfolded.
