McDonald’s has etched its name into the Guinness World Records ™ this morning with a breakfast fry-up like no other.

The company cooked a massive meal of scrambled eggs that weighed in at 1.24 metric tonnes, breaking the previous world record of one metric tonne by more than 200kg.

In order to break the world record McDonald’s had to use more than 20,000 eggs and 100 litres of cream, cooked on a specially made dish that measured more than five metres across.
