Ghost pepper blows out man's esophagus, nearly kills him

There's been an uhealthy trend (like that cinamon challenge) of injesting peppers like these or the Carolina Reaper lately. I saw one idiot who actually put it in a e-cig and smoked Carolina Reaper.

Sounds like Darwis natural selection at work.

I was at a small Szechuan restaurant back in the 1970s and the Mom & Pop started arguing in the kitchen. They burnt some peppers and the place needed to be evacuated.
Haven't coughed that much even when we'd try to hot knife a whole gram of Afghan hash as kids!

I used to do that with a fingernail sized chunk of habenero a friend used to grow, in a pan of beef for burritos. had to clear out of my apartment. Now I have a bottle of Vodka that is full of habeneros, and I use a couple shots.

It's so much better when weaponized!

Tried out the Vindaloo at a small town place last week, ordered the 4/5 hot version.
I was shocked that it was actually 4/5 East Indian hot, not 4/5 whiteman hot. Fantastic!

You know what I mean - how they add 1 drop of Frank's Red Hot to 45 gallons of mayo and name the burger "Flamethrower"....

Yea, the restaurants where '3 chiles' really means '1 chile and 3 bell peppers'.

Given what he ate, I'm guessing his esophagus wasn't the only thing he blew out.

That would be '1 chile and 2 bell peppers'...


...learn to count.

The new thing I bought at the Sobeys today is the "one chip challenge" The $4.99 box contains a single tortilla chip made with Carolina Reaper and Ghost Pepper. My buddy and I will be giving it a go this weekend!

When you have to lift the seat to shit and sit right in the icy water?

When you have to lift the seat to shit and sit right in the icy water?

When you put the toilet paper in the freezer before you go to the restaurant.

He be shittin' through the eye of a needle at 40 paces.

I used to love hot and spicy foods but there is no way that I'd try that chip these days.
