Does time end when the chips are swallowed or just in the mouth? Also, with the rules stating the video must show the seal being opened, does that mean timing starts when the seal on top is opened? What about other methods of entry, are they banned?

For my recent 1.3 oz run, I started the timer and ripped both the plastic lid and seal off after doing so. I stopped it after I swallowed the last bit of chips (crumbs in the can included). Not sure if that's the hard-and-fast rule of how to do it, but I did it that way.

As for other methods of getting into the can, I would assume that methods other than opening the seal are disallowed, seeing as the rules state outright the seal must be opened.

Related, are you allowed to drink during the run? I've just submitted a better time for the 40g category, but it'd be sub 1 min if I'd drank during it too.

I had water with my crisps during yesterday's run. Would call it fair since it was verified but eh.
