Cricket Fans Set Beer Snake Record

A spokesman for Cricket New South Wales said that while beer snakes – made by joining plastic cups together – were normally discouraged for safety reasons and to avoid annoying other spectators, this one was allowed because people were having so much fun.

“The atmosphere in the rain break was as good as it’s ever been, people were having a good time,” he said, adding that it was harmless entertainment, even if the "record" was not proven.
