A YouTube video posted yesterday, shows Kobayashi behind a table in front of a crowd of people.

A man holding a microphone tells the crowd: 'We are going to try and drink a gallon milk in a minute.'

Holding the carton with both hands, he then starts drinking, taking enormous gulps without a break.

Despite setting the target of one minute, Kobayashi races through the carton. Only a few tiny drops escape from his mouth.
