We all know that cucumbers are a staple in salads, detox waters and sandwiches, but who knew they could be part of a world record as well! Zhang Yazhou from China has taken cucumber slicing to a whole new level — and he didn't use a knife. Instead, he sliced through 41 cucumbers in just one minute using nothing but playing cards. Yes, you read that right.
Zhang, known for his card-throwing skills, recently earned a spot in the Guinness World Records for this feat. With just a flick of the wrist, he sends cards flying through the air with enough precision to split cucumbers right down the middle.
In a video shared by Guinness World Records on Instagram, Zhang is seen standing at a distance from a row of cucumbers suspended on a stand. One by one, the cucumbers fall in half as his cards slice through them. A few slow-motion shots capture the precision of each throw, making it feel like a scene from a martial arts movie.

Zhang's achievement wasn't a fluke. According to the Guinness World Records, it took him 20 days of practice to perfect his throws and make it into the record books.
“Most cucumbers cut by throwing playing cards in one minute, 41 by Zhang Yazhou,” read the caption of Guinness World Records' post.
In December 2024, Guinness World Records shared another feat involving cucumbers. Members of India's Bir Khalsa martial arts group set a record for most slices of cucumber held in a person's mouth with a chainsaw while blindfolded in one minute.
The video shows a blindfolded man using an electric chainsaw to slice a cucumber held by a teammate, with a third member quickly replacing the cucumber as it's cut. The record was set with an astonishing 71 slices in just 60 seconds — without anyone getting hurt.
While these methods may not be the most practical way to cut cucumbers, they certainly showcase the creativity and skill behind some of the most bizarre Guinness World Records. While the record may seem fascinating, do not try this at home as it can lead to any potential health or safety risk.
