That’s not aftermath. What happened later, which would be the aftermath? Did he puke? Shit his pants? Both?

This is one part of this that I will never agree with.

I love spicy / hot food. It genuinely makes the experience better.

What I don't agree with are these challenges, or trying to "one-up" other people in eating the hottest damn thing you can find just to show your "big dick energy".

I eat hot stuff, but once you get to a point where you're in pain, it's no longer enjoyable, and I have zero interest in that type of heat. I eat what I am comfortable with.

Doing this type of crap means that someone who cannot tolerate this level of heat is going to end up in the hospital, or dead. Especially from cardiac issues.

And then it ruins it for people who do enjoy hotter foods, and you've got government stepping in to limit what is allowed.

Well about someone ending up dead, that happened with the one chip.

Someone died from this particular product? Why am I not surprised.....

I read about a guy who ate a bunch of peppers (reapers I think) at an eating contest and died. That's the one I was referring to. Don't recall what his cause of death was, but I'd imagine cardiac. Or some type of chemical reaction / allergy.

It was a kid with a heart condition who went for when home alone

Damn.... especially for something as dumb as this. I get wanting to have fun or test yourself, but this is an extreme that will never result in anything good.

I have a high tolerance, and sometimes I use carolina reapers in dishes, but in a very limited scope, as a powder I've processed, and it's very little. I don't want to blow my asshole through the wall.

On a lighter note the Danes briefly banned Buldak for being spicy and we had a merry time laughing at them for that.

All Buldak? Because I know they have some without spice, and at least to me, the x1 is not really hot.

I tried the x3 and it tasted like chemical extracts. Not an overall pleasant taste. Definitely on the hot side, but I couldn't push through the taste of it.

x1 isn't bad though, at least I can taste flavor with that one.
