The Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest got me into watching competitive eating contests. I would never enter because I can’t eat that much in one sitting.
However, if given the chance, I could eat 10 peppers in a row. I think most of us could. But how many of you could eat 10 Carolina Reaper peppers in one sitting? Not many. If they could, would they even want to? They wouldn’t.
But that is not Mitch Donnelly and Gregory Foster. So they competed to see who could eat 10 Carolina Reaper chilis the fastest. Who holds the Guinness World Records title? Foster did it in 33.15 seconds.
He didn’t get to celebrate immediately. That is because the pain kicked in even quicker and lasted a long, long time. Because as soon as the heat cooled down in his mouth, another hole felt the heat. Oh, to have the cameras rolling in the bathroom.
