Other than making home made pepper spray, what' the point?

I’m with you on the absurd heat levels of some peppers. Once a pepper is so hot you’re uncomfortable eating it, that ruins it for me…..taste trumps heat level for me.

Was in Belize diving w/friends, stopped at a seaside cafe for Ceviche n cerveza. My buddy, that is always egging me on, grabbed a btl of peppers off the table n popped one in his mouth. As he was eyeing me I did the same. Couldn't breath, swallow, talk, so I downed my beer. It did not put out the fire! Learned my lesson. He eats Thai way hotter than a normal human should.

Braggin' rights.

I saw it on the news this morning. Ugh. I don't understand eating fire just to say you did, and TBH, the guy who did it kind of looked like his teeth were a bit charred. Pass.

NFW. They can have their Guinness Book record. And those 2 idiots who ate a whole one in that video ssandy_561 posted in the thread I started. Why would you do that to your body?

[Andrrr]

I guess if you're constipated it might make sense 😄

[STEbbq]

I’d have to agree with everyone else. Give me flavor over pure heat. Otherwise, what is the point?

[rlozinak]

nope, not for me. this is ridiculous

[Jerod Broussard]

I don't think it's even panned out yet, meaning they really don't know the max.

I've a cousin in WI who will eat this up, literally. His hobby is to find and at spicy, hot foods.
