In the great words of Rommel from The Sidehackers, “Chili peppers burn my gut.” Eight German boys, ages 13 and 14, were hospitalized after finding that out first hand. Authorities say that 10 of the kids from Augsburg drank super-hot chili sauce on a dare. I guess two of them are tougher than the other eight, since they avoided a trip to the infirmary! I’ll go ahead and presumptively declare them the winners of this extra-dumb contest.
The chili sauce that the kids consumed was a whopping 535,000 Scoville units. Normal Tabasco sauce is only 2,500 Scovilles. When they labeled it hot sauce, they really weren’t kidding around. Still, it could have been a lot worse given how hot some peppers are.
A pro tip: next time, just spray pepper spray directly into your mouth. You’ll get the same effect in half the time!
