What the fart! Surat to see flatulence contest

While the world has witnessed a plethora of bizarre contests, the city of Surat is all set to witness its first such event on September 22, when contestants will be judged for how loud, long and strong their fart is. Yes, you read it right!

Two friends in Surat, Mul Sanghvi and Yatin Sangoi, are all set to host the city's first farting competition: 'WTF–What the Fart'.

Ever since the idea was floated by them, it has become viral on the social media, with the hosts already having received around 40 registrations for it from across the country.

Sanghvi said the idea came from Sangoi who was watching a movie and farted loudly in the presence of his family members.

Sangoi jokingly told his family if there was a farting competition, he would surely win it for being the loudest. "We laughed at first but eventually decided to organise this contest," Sanghvi said.

The hosts say for any other contest, participants have to work hard, but for this one, all they have to do is to eat and fart. The event will be organised at La Terranze restaurant and the winners will be awarded trophies.

Sanghvi said the contest has become so popular that he is receiving around 200 calls every day from various parts of the country. He said the contestants will get a minute to woo the judges with the length of their fart, its loudness and the "musical aspect" it produces.
