Jenson Button faced off against supermarket cashiers in a speed scanning challenge, ultimately losing to Rofiat Adeleke who won the Doritos Scan Grand Prix.
Former Formula 1 world champion Jenson Button participated in a unique challenge where he raced against supermarket cashiers in a high-speed scanning competition. The event, held in partnership with Doritos, aimed to combine the excitement of Formula 1 with everyday supermarket tasks, showcasing speed and precision in scanning items on a conveyor belt. This competition not only highlighted Button's famed reflexes but also demonstrated the impressive skills of supermarket staff.
Among the challengers, 29-year-old Rofiat Adeleke emerged victorious by scanning a selection of party items in a remarkable 43.22 seconds, which was significantly faster than Button’s recorded time of 49.68 seconds.
