Paqui one-chip challenge

Sauce & Shram ran this challenge on their sports/talk show so I looked it up on YouTube. Sure enough a large number of bloggers put up videos. I watched two. This is the more mature one, a bit toned down, and they did call the EMTs afterwards.

Another video are kids and I liked theirs a lot but I don't think you'll appreciate it as much because they're a bit overly demonstrative and I think you'll discredit them for acting. Still, I found them delightful to watch.




After all that, the kids that I sense you'll discredit below. 

The thing is, I love young people. From my point of view almost nothing they do is wrong. I find them incredibly naturally entertaining. Their overacting is the way that they act. 



Wikipedia: Carolina Reaper.
The sensory heat or pungency detected when consuming a Carolina Reaper derives from the density of capsaicinoids, particularly capsaicin, which relates directly to intensity of chili pepper heat and Scoville scale. Bred in a Rock Hill, South Carolina greenhouse by "Smokin" Ed Currie, proprietor of the PuckerButt Pepper Company in Fort Mill, the Carolina Reaper was certified as the world's hottest chili pepper by the Guinness World Records on 11 August 2017. The official Guinness World Record heat level was 1,641,183 Scoville Heat Units (SHU) in 2017, according to tests conducted by Winthrop University in South Carolina. The figure is an average for the tested batch; the hottest individual pepper was measured at 2.2 million SHU.  
The crossbreed is between a "really nastily hot" La Soufriere pepper from the Caribbean island of St. Vincent and a Naga Viper pepper from Pakistan, and is named 'Reaper' due to the shape of its tail. It has been described as having a fruity taste, with the initial bite being sweet and then immediately turning to "molten lava".  
The article goes on to say the heat value is already surpassed twice by other peppers. 

Buy Carolina Reaper seeds, why not. 




Paqui is Nahuatl (Aztec) for "to be happy" or "contented."
