Thankfully, the ensuing stomach cramps were not bad at all, mostly just a mildly upset stomach. I picked up some pepto bismol and tums on the way home and immediately downed the maximum reasonable dose of each as a prophylactic measure. It was orders of magnitude hotter than anything I had ever eaten before.Įven though I washed my hands, like, 20 times to make absolutely sure I wouldn’t get any spice on my extremities, on the drive home I started to feel… heat in my eyes? I found this peculiar- I made a point not to touch them. The sensation was so bad that I had to go home and skip class because I physically could not comprehend any information other than the pain. When I ran out of that, I refilled the bottle with water and took big swigs, being sure to coat my whole mouth to lower the temperature. ![]() When I ran out of that, I was plastered to the water fountain for a solid five minutes before I rushed to the vending machine and got a soda. I immediately took a swig of my monster energy. It took everything in my power to swallow, and what remained was the most intense burn I’ve ever known. Having that fucking chip in my mouth was the equivalent of taking a bite out of the sun itself (hardly an exaggeration, believe me). As soon as I put it in my mouth, I immediately felt what I now recognize as the singular worst pain I’ve ever experienced in my life. Now, most absurdly spicy shit I’ve eaten at least has an actual flavor profile before it blasts your mouth with heat. I figured taking small bites would do me no good, and I just had to take it all. So, of course, I popped the whole thing in my mouth at once. It was so coated in blue dye that it was a gangly dark green. Again, I’ve been around the block, so I knew to only touch this thing with the minimal amount of skin surface area. This thing was absolutely drenched in it, to the point where it was staining my fingers blue. You know when you get that one taki that’s absolutely covered in the spice mix? Imagine that, but dialed up to infinity. First off, this thing is positively CAKED in powder. I opened the faux coffin-shaped box, pulled out the suspiciously tortilla-chip-shaped pouch, and ripped it open. So I got there, and waited for people to show up…Īt about 1pm, three of my friends were there, so it was go time. Many of my closest friends filter in-and-out of the room throughout the day, so I figured if I was gonna do it anywhere, I would do it there in front of people. We have a little team room for my university’s speech team (which I currently am an assistant coach for, formerly a competitor) with a nice, cozy couch and a little office table where the speech folks all sit around and talk. So with 10 years of spice experience under my belt, and countless samples of carolina reaper AND scorpion pepper (the two peppers represented in the OCC) under my belt, I figured, “what’s the worst that could happen? I’ve done this a million times.” I tell you all of this not to flex (though I know it definitely comes off as one), but to impress upon you: I’ve done some shit. ![]() I go to wing restaurants alone and eat the most fuck-off spiciest flavor of wings by myself because I just like the sensation. When I was 18, I ate a whole ball of wasabi just because. When I was 17, I took a shot of carolina reaper hot sauce for fun. I get chips and hot salsa when I go to chipotle cause I love the taste, even though it makes me sweat like a motherfucker. Takis and hot cheetos are my chip of choice. To those of you who are familiar with Tijuana Flats (a florida-based tex-mex chain with a choose-your-own hot sauce bar), I would always go for the hottest hot sauces just for the thrill of it.
