Batter Blaster(TM) dethrones the Lions Club of Lubbock, Texas, after only two
months on top

AUSTIN, Texas, July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- After blasting the previous record by
almost 10,000 pancakes, Batter Blaster is now the official world record holder
for "Most Pancakes Made in 8 Hours," as certified by Guinness World
Records(TM).  On May 9, the Batter Blaster team made 76,382 pancakes in
Centennial Olympic Park (Atlanta, Ga.).  This number easily beats out the
pre-existing record set in February 2009 by the Lions Club of Lubbock, Texas,
of 66,549 pancakes.

"The Batter Blaster team pulled out all the stops to break this record," says
Sean O'Connor, founder and CEO of Batter Blaster. "We brought in more than 30
grills, and we had some of the best volunteers available.  I'm really looking
forward to seeing what the competition comes up with next.  It's going to take
a lot more than a few extra pancakes to beat us!"

While the event was free, it was held in partial support of Hosea Feed the
Hungry and Homeless, an Atlanta-based nonprofit organization dedicated to
rescue, restore and re-stabilize at-risk and homeless individuals and families
so they can thrive and become self-sufficient. Batter Blaster hopes to
continue its philanthropy in the coming months.

"The record is really the 'icing on the cake' for us," says O'Connor.  "The
real winners are the people we're helping.  These events, including the
Lubbock Lions Pancake Festival, help raise awareness and provide support to
important causes and charities.  We look forward to working with many more in
the future."
