We cannot believe it but it has been 3 years to this date now that we have launched our unique awesome range of fruit shaped stressballs. These products have been an absolute blast and have been ever so popular. We have had companies and organisations of all different industries use these branded stressballs for various events and fuctions with terrific success. The bright colours attract a lot of attention and the fun unique shapes make kids and adults want to have one. To celebrate we thought we do a little research on each of our stress ball fruits and we found some very amusing information from world records to little know facts and histories. Check them out below:

Lemons

Here are a few World Record Holders using lemons to achieve their fame as well as interesting lemon facts:
- 200 Lemons eaten consecutively by Michael Kenney
- Worlds heaviest lemon - 5.26 kilos grown by farmer Aharon Shemoel in Israel
- Fastest time taken to peel and eat 1 lemon: 30.97 seconds by Suresh Joachim
- Lemons we all know have vitamin C. Did you know though that sailors who used to be susceptible to scurvy (due to lack of vitamins by poor diet) used lemons to ward off the disease and the entire British Navy still requires its sips to carry enough lemons so that sailors can have their daily dose.
