        They had to surgically bypass his butthole, would have caused too severe damage and our plastic surgery hasn’t gotten buttholes down just yet. They installed a sting from his upper intestine directly to a lead-reinforced toulet.

    News headlines next week:

    “Guy dies after eating 135 Carolina reapers.”

    Or

    “Guy had 135 Carolina reapers surgically removed…”

    Seriously, I hope he’s ok.

    Whyyyyyyyyyy

    Apparently it’s to break a record, but that doesn’t really answer the question of why tho

      Guinness stopped recording some records, apparently, because of the increasing health risk in trying to break those records.

      If this is a Guinness record he’s challenging, I can’t see that as a long-term thing.

        Yep, it’s a Guinness World Record

        Not only has he set an astonishing record for the fastest time to eat 50 Carolina Reapers (6 min 49.2 sec), but he went on to eat 85 more after finishing his record attempt!

        He has a death wish

    Nah, you can see how he puts his left hand over his mouth after each one, he’s hiding them all in a fake plastic thumb. No but seriously either this guy’s somehow coated his entire digestive system with some kind of protective lining or he’s gonna suffer a very painful death. I wouldn’t want to be his sphincter the day after this

    This guy is gonna die. I can handle super spicy, but had to stop eating spicy food so much cause I started having bleeding from ulcers from too much of it. The sauce was bad, but it was absolutely brutal if I ate raw peppers, I don’t do that anymore.

      Eating hot peppers does not cause ulcers. In fact, among the many health benefits of capsaicin, it lowers acid production in the stomach. It’s actually been considered as a preventative treatment when taking things that DO actually cause ulcers–again, spicy food not being one of them.

      This connection between spicy foods and ulcers is a long perpetuated myth that has been disproven over and over again. Capsaicin can, however, aggravate preexisting ulcers.

      Yeah at a certain point it’s not about how much mouth pain you can stand. It’s definitely unhealthy for your gut to eat that insane level of spicy food that often. Even in Indian and Szechuan cooking they are not trying to destroy you.

      I found myself having to eat a lot more probiotics and stuff when I was eating spicy food all the time. Once you pass the habanero threshold I think there is potential for damage… at least that’s my experience.

        Eating hot peppers is actually quite good for your stomach unless you have irritable bowel syndrome, dyspepsia, or inflammatory bowel disease–in which case, hot peppers join a very long list of other foods that can cause or aggravate symptoms of those diseases.

        Not sure what’s causing the digestive reaction tho, as technically the capsaicin isn’t burning anything, it’s just a false signal from your nerves

        I really wonder if there are actual risks, other than the ones caused by ingesting such large amount of food

          My main guess is just ingesting a lot of some weird molecule and we have no way to process it really. Headline would kinda be the same with 135 Oreos in one sitting if the heat didn’t matter.

    I like hot food but I got some sauce that is made from Carolina reapers. We make chilli con carne for the family but feed the kids first before adding the sauce. I literally put a table spoon in and that’s more than enough. It’s crazy just how hot it is. I really have no idea how people can stomach a whole chilli.

      Does it actually taste nice though? I like really hot food, e.g. love the taste of buldak bokkeum myun and regularly eat the Samyang 2x. But I find these chilli’s have some really unpleasant flavour compared to more ‘normal’ chillies.

        Depends on what it’s used on and mixed with. I’ve got a hot sauce that’s made with reapers blended with cherries and some other stuff. It’s spicy but has quite a lovely flavor.

        I’ve also got some hope sauces that are in the 1-2,000,000+ Scoville range. You generally don’t apply those to food directly but rather use it to add a bit of heat to an existing sauce or soup etc

        Honestly, not really. However in this situation it’s only a table spoon so you don’t really taste it. You just get the heat.

        Carolina reapers actually have a very nice flavor profile: pleasantly sweet at first, then earthy, floral, bitter. The heat is a little delayed, and it starts in your throat and then comes all the way out to your lips.

        They’re absolutely devastating.

        Imho original Buldak is better than 2x. 2x doesn’t have good flavour. It’s just hot. It’s better to make regular Buldak and add something super hot to it.

      I usually add about a tablespoon of such sauce per portion…

    Does anyone know where he was born??? The reason I ask is that this seems more like the lack of clarity that an American might have.
