Datu Puti kicked off 2021 with a new Guinness World Records title for the most people dipping food into vinegar online simultaneously.
On Jan. 24, the brand hosted a large-scale online meeting via Zoom, dubbed as the Datu Puti Mukhasim Nation World Record Day, where nearly 200 “Ka-Datus” joined the attempt to set a new world record.
Guinness World Records adjudicator Brian Sobel congratulated all Ka-Datus for participating in the historic event, which was also witnessed live by thousands of viewers through the Datu Puti Facebook Page.
“After a thorough review of all the footage from the Datu Puti Mukhasim Nation World Record Day, which took place on January 24, I am very happy and proud to announce that you have managed to set a new Guinness World Records title of the most people dipping food into vinegar online simultaneously,” he said.
“I congratulate Datu Puti and all the Ka-Datus for this ‘officially amazing’ feat. I hope that this new record will not only make Datu Puti and the Ka-Datus proud of their achievement but also help inspire more people in your country and all over the world to explore their own limitless possibilities,” Sobel added.
Nutriasia COO and President Angie Flaminiano said the feat is remarkable because of its symbolism given that Filipinos are unable to gather physically, yet their resilient spirit shines through.
“Datu Puti’s new Guinness World Records achievement is more than just a show of power or capacity to gather the most people dipping food into vinegar online. It is a representation of how we Filipinos are able to come together to find joy at a time of despair,” Flaminiano said.
Participants were divided into six Tribo Breakout Rooms, namely Tribo Sukang Puti, Tribo Sukang Sinamak, Tribo Pinoy Spice, Tribo Sukang Tagalog, Tribo Sukang Iloko, and Tribo Spiced Vinegar.
Participants simultaneously dipped their choice of food into their favorite Datu Puti Vinegar before showing their best “Sawsaw-Tikim-Mukhasim” move on camera.
As the undisputed leading vinegar brand in the country since 1975, Datu Puti has consistently provided a satisfying nuot-asim sarap that makes great-tasting dishes a lot more enjoyable.
