IT'S not only adults that can break world records, as Kathryn Matthews recently proved.

The hungry 12-year-old has set a new world record - by eating 108 Smarties in three minutes.

Even more amazingly, Kathryn had to eat each chocolate sweet using a pair of chopsticks!

She claims the key to her success is to swallow the Smarties whole, without chewing them - which wasn't as much fun as it sounds.

In fact she is now completely sick of Smarties and won't be eating any more for a long time.
