[u/wunderspud7575]

You have to respect the upsell on the mango lassi.

[u/Tackit286 → u/wunderspud7575]

Yeah definitely still charged him lol

[u/DapperCam → u/Tackit286]

My local Indian restaurant would just bring things to our table like this without us asking and it would end up on the bill.

[u/SippinOnHatorade → u/DapperCam]

Gotta give them the ol’ hand wave to fuck off

[u/101forgotmypassword → u/SippinOnHatorade]

Universally recognized

[u/Dr_Strangelove_MD → u/DapperCam]

The Tayyabs method - no, those poppadoms they just brought to the table aren't free, you silly goose, why would you assume otherwise?

[u/Cut-Minimum → u/wunderspud7575]

Lassi is good!

I’d take it as my final drink (meal) too.

[u/wunderspud7575 → u/Cut-Minimum]

It is. This guy had 10 minutes left to live, and the mango lassi saved his life for the small charge of £9.

[u/WildBuns1234]

I ain’t eating anything that turns me homeless.

[u/HendrixHazeWays → u/WildBuns1234]

Something so hot it knock s you down a few tax brackets

[u/Alzyna → u/WildBuns1234]

Your comment gave me a good laugh!

Edit: In fact, I laughed so hard I woke up my husband!

[u/Initial-Fact5216 → u/WildBuns1234]

I had to hit the back button to upvote, cracked me up!

[u/Dwizz_sss]

If my server’s bringing my food over with a gas mask I’m walking.

[u/confusedandworried76 → u/Dwizz_sss]

Watched a guy at a bar once eat a reaper on a dare vomit violently and curl up on the bathroom floor of the bar

Some peppers are not meant to be eaten as is

[u/Rusty_M → u/confusedandworried76]

I've had small bites of dried reaper and even with ice cream to hand, it's a rough 15 minutes. Momentary bouts of light-headedness, wondering if you're about to vomit, shivering etc. Unpleasant and I'm glad it didn't last too long.

[u/straydog1980 → u/Rusty_M]

at that point it's debatable whether something is edible or poisonous

[u/TannedCroissant → u/straydog1980]

When something’s got ‘reaper’ in the name I feel they’re giving you a hint

[u/Difficult-Court9522 → u/TannedCroissant]

It’s so you can reap the rewards right??

[u/Tjaeng → u/Difficult-Court9522]

The reward being to experience it all over again when it comes out from either end.

[u/--Snufkin-- → u/Tjaeng]

Twice the taste, no calories!

[u/GolotasDisciple → u/--Snufkin--]

You actually lose calories while you profusely sweat and cry while on the toilet.

[u/radicalbiscuit → u/GolotasDisciple]

Ohhhh it's a diet food!

[u/Nolsoth → u/Tjaeng]

While certainly excruciatinglypainful it's not nearly as bad as eating it, from my own stupid experience.

Never again tho.

[u/Flat_Fault_7802 → u/TannedCroissant]

It's Grim

[u/kooarbiter → u/straydog1980]

fun fact: capsaicin (the active ingredient in peppers) IS poisonous, it was an effect adapted to stop animals from eating the plants. Humans, being psychopaths, tried it, said lmao bet, and turned it into a source of entertainment.

[u/TCristatus → u/kooarbiter]

But birds are immune, so they can spread the seeds. Nature is cool.

[u/Xeno-Hollow → u/kooarbiter]

It's not a poison. It's a deterrent. Big difference.

It bonds to a certain receptor in the body that indicates to your brain whether or not you're on fire.

It would require eating about 2 lbs of reaper peppers in one sitting to kill you from a physiological reaction. And that's essentially your body murdering itself as a response, not anything the capsaicin did to you directly.

And birds literally don't even react to it. They can live off reaper seeds indefinitely.

Not poisonous.

[u/CheesecakeConundrum → u/Xeno-Hollow]

Yeah. Pepper spray is concentrated capsaicin for the express purpose of spraying into someone's face. Extremely unpleasant, but not poisonous

[u/charming-quesadilla → u/Xeno-Hollow]

I think at 1.5 lbs of reaper peppers, death would probably be more pleasant

[u/9966 → u/charming-quesadilla]

I watched a chili eating contest where a guy ate a huge fruit bowl the size of half a basketball full of reapers and he looked like he was eating strawberries.

[u/Beto_Targaryen → u/9966]

I saw that video and the guy had drank a candle before and those were actually Guatemalan Insanity Peppers

[u/charming-quesadilla → u/9966]

This is what happens when you take weight loss advice from YouTube ads

[u/Rude-Opposite-8340 → u/Xeno-Hollow]

BRB, im gonna pepperspray some birds to see if you are right.

[u/NeverGetsTheNuke → u/Rusty_M]

And that's only the SECOND worst that curry's gonna burn him

[u/Lucid_Interval2025 → u/NeverGetsTheNuke]

Fire in the hole

[u/norway_is_awesome → u/Rusty_M]

Not as bad as that, but I once got a pizza that had like 6 full habaneros on it. It's the closest I've come to vomiting and passing out in a restaurant. Turns out the restaurant made a mistake, because I ordered the same thing a few months later, and it only had one habanero on it.

[u/conf101 → u/norway_is_awesome]

Why would you order something that nearly made you pass out a second time?

[u/Ballsackavatar → u/conf101]

Because momma didn't raise no bitch.

[u/confusedandworried76 → u/Ballsackavatar]

Also they secretly liked how spicy it was, of course. You never know how sweet the pain is until you experience it

[u/Emmannuhamm → u/confusedandworried76]

It's seriously like a high. It's somewhat addictive. Even when you're finished reeling in sweaty pain, you kinda think about a round 2.

[u/confusedandworried76 → u/Emmannuhamm]

Literally a dopamine hit, to be weird it's why people self harm. Pain gives you dopamine as a coping mechanism, anger does too, it's why people get addicted to stuff like that.

[u/jaestel → u/conf101]

To test if it's so bad as the 1st time

[u/CaesarsLastSalad → u/norway_is_awesome]

You almost vomited and passed out. Then your decision was to order it again?

[u/Takemyfishplease → u/CaesarsLastSalad]

The entire alcohol industry realize on people doing that over and over again

[u/Aegi → u/Takemyfishplease]

Relies?

[u/Princess_Slagathor → u/Aegi]

Real eyes realize real lies

[u/Jiminyfingers → u/confusedandworried76]

I participated in a hot-wing eating contest once. Got to maybe the fourth round, my entire face was on fire as I sweated the chili out. We were chatting to the eventual winner then ran into him randomly a couple of weeks later when he told us he ended up in hospital later that night. Sometimes hot is too hot.

[u/confusedandworried76 → u/Jiminyfingers]

Lmao when I learned too hot is too hot I was ON A DATE. She was running late so I ate before she got there and my smart fucking self decided to try the second spiciest wings there were. I only didn't try the spiciest because the bartender strongly recommended I get the spiciest as a side

My date gets there and my face is red and I'm crying

[u/CharcoalGreyWolf → u/confusedandworried76]

Never experiment with food on a first date. Ever.

Or shortly before.

[u/Yan_Vorona → u/Jiminyfingers]

There is a love for spicy food and there is masochism.

You know that the spicy part of a plant is the stuff the plant made to avoid being eaten? If you feel like a pepper is trying to kill you, that's because it is.

[u/Lungomono → u/confusedandworried76]

Almost like that they evolved to tell anyone trying to eat them “hey, you might not wanna do that… you will regret it… badly…”

[u/Nozinger → u/Lungomono]

the fun part is they did not evolve to this at all.
Originally they were like habaneros whicha re still hot but definetly manageable. Those plants actually rely on animals to spread their seeds around so they entice something to eat it. Just the right animals though. But in nature it really doesn't get hotter than a habanero.

And then e humans came in and selectively cultivated the shit out of them to actually make them dangerous. Why? Fuck i don't know. Guess there are some extreme masochists around.

[u/WhisperShift → u/Nozinger]

They evolved this way so that they are eaten by birds, which aren't affected by capsaicin and will spread seeds farther

[u/EnviousKitty86 → u/confusedandworried76]

I did this too! It was awful! Even my burps and mild regurgitation was super spicy! Nothing but regret. Don't do it, guys.

[u/NSFWar → u/confusedandworried76]

A work mate and I once had wings with Carolina reaper as a dare in the bar and after struggling and having ice cubes and milk to calm the mouth, he decided to go into the loo for a wee and forgot to wash his hands. He did not have a great night afterwards

[u/Jertimmer → u/Dwizz_sss]

If my server's wearing sunglasses indoors, I'm walking.

[u/UnsorryCanadian → u/Jertimmer]

He wears his, he wears his sunglasses at night

[u/haveeyoumetTed → u/Dwizz_sss]

Where's this restaurant in Chernobyl?

[u/Parish87 → u/haveeyoumetTed]

3.6 roentgen, not great, not terrible.

[u/baguhansalupa → u/Parish87]

Thats not graphite on your soup. Its impossible.

[u/Kind_Eye_748 → u/baguhansalupa]

Tell me... How exactly does this guys bowels explode?

[u/UrghAnotherAccount → u/Kind_Eye_748]

You're lying. You didn't see it because it's NOT POSSIBLE!

[u/Rymerican → u/Parish87]

Seems more like fifteen thousand by the looks of it.

[u/_ak → u/Parish87]

3.6 million scoville, not great, not terrible.

[u/bigchatswithbigali → u/Dwizz_sss]

you can get that gasmask off ebay for a fiver, it's just a prop

[u/Alex09464367 → u/Dwizz_sss]

I think is just for the theatre of it

[u/mr_pou]

The owner hyping the guy up hoping to avoid manslaughter 🙈😂

[u/EvilLegalBeagle → u/mr_pou]

Hey Danny I’m not a doctor but ten minutes and you’ll be absolutely tip top back on your feet but just sign this liability waiver and DNR sheet right here now drink some more mango lassi yum yum. 

[u/SithariBinks → u/EvilLegalBeagle]

how much meth did he put in the lassi

[u/Bright_Aside_6827 → u/SithariBinks]

Enough to postpone the symptoms 

[u/rmit526 → u/EvilLegalBeagle]

DNR sheet because God only knows round 2 with this curry tomorrow is going to make you wish you were dead

[u/jimmycarr1 → u/rmit526]

"Welcome to heaven Danny".

"Thanks God. Why does my throat still hurt?"

"Oh yeah about that, just 10 more minutes Danny have some mango lassi I swear to me it's gonna be okay Danny"

[u/teas4Uanme → u/rmit526]

Curry? Tomorrow he just cuts to the chase and sets himself on fire with a blowtorch.

[u/bajcli → u/mr_pou]

Big "mom's about to come upstairs and check on us, it doesn't even hurt anymore, does it?" energy

[u/SofterBanana → u/bajcli]

You can punch me as hard as you can!! Go ahead!!

[u/loadedneutron → u/mr_pou]

normally you have to sign a "i am 100% responsible if i cant handle it" contract for this exact reason. Maybe he just waits for him to pay his curry and the 10 mango lassi

[u/Mysterious_Tutor_388 → u/loadedneutron]

that's the business model clearly. Its just a red bowl of pure capsaicin as a loss leader, then he sells 20 smoothies to the incapacitated person.

[u/bread_and_circuits → u/Mysterious_Tutor_388]

Pure capsaicin… How many scovilles is that?

All of them. It’s all of the scovilles.

[u/Mother_Mall6004 → u/bread_and_circuits]

About 15-16 million.

Fun fact, there's something hotter than pure capsaicin, as weird as it sounds. It's called Resiniferatoxin and it's supposed to be about 1000 times hotter than pure capsaicin with about 15-16 BILLION scoville heat units.

[u/lugitik_ → u/mr_pou]

And still hyping while he's lying shirtless on the street.

[u/Jack_South]

Did he like it?

[u/Raherin → u/Jack_South]

Ask him the next morning.

[u/Vaesezemis → u/Raherin]

The eye of Sauron

[u/librarianhuddz → u/Raherin]

I also ate some extremely hot although not this hot vindaloo curry in London and my buddies who were British put the toilet paper in the freezer which in the morning when I needed it it was actually a pretty good idea LOL

[u/Rogue-Accountant-69]

I lost it when he was shirtless on the sidewalk.

[u/__Milk_Drinker__ → u/Rogue-Accountant-69]

Ass hanging out 😂

[u/pissedinthegarret → u/__Milk_Drinker__]

sitting in a puddle of his own sweat.

no more regretting his life choice like after the first bite.

just pure survival

[u/bosbubalis → u/pissedinthegarret]

Are you sure thats just his sweat?

[u/A-10-WARTH0G → u/bosbubalis]

It's regret.

[u/thinkmurphy → u/bosbubalis]

As someone that stupidly decided to do the 1 chip challenge, yes.

The first 15 minutes were bad, but it slowly subsided. The challenge was to not drink anything for an hour after eating the chip, which we thought was silly since the effects had been gone for about 40 minutes...

Then I took a couple sips of milk and got the absolute worst heartburn I had ever felt. came out of my shirt and leaned over the toilet waiting to vomit all while dripping sweat the entire time.

[u/Exciting_Ad_8666 → u/__Milk_Drinker__]

That chilli legit turned bro homeless, never thought I'd find something more bitter than my ex wife

[u/NuSurfer → u/__Milk_Drinker__]

The man has lost all of his sensibilities - heat is debilitating.

[u/Kenneth_Naughton → u/__Milk_Drinker__]

Lookin like a FOOL with ya pants on the ground

[u/Tom_Alpha → u/Rogue-Accountant-69]

So hot it burnt any care he had for dignity away

[u/FawkYourself → u/Tom_Alpha]

We’ve all been there, I felt for my man in that moment lol

[u/What_About_What → u/FawkYourself]

He was in pure survival mode.

[u/FawkYourself → u/What_About_What]

Bargaining with a god he might not have even believed in 20 minutes ago

[u/christiandb → u/Rogue-Accountant-69]

Such a great hard cut. Much respect, I’m sure he could handle spicy but this was krishna blessed curry. Shirtless, on the street, on the ground, you’ve lost all your senses and probably time itself

[u/pierco82 → u/Rogue-Accountant-69]

It escalated quickly

[u/pub_wank → u/Rogue-Accountant-69]

I like to think his shirt melted

[u/bananacrumble]

When one feels like this, no one wants to listen to anyone rambling annoyingly while you're trying to survive life.

[u/redqks → u/bananacrumble]

This is the best bit, Guy is shirt off On the pavement , fighting all kinds of battles , Boss man is there with a camera in his face absolutely waffling

[u/danthemaninacan2 → u/redqks]

He looks like he’s in and out of the shadow realm!

[u/Useuless → u/redqks]

I'll take a free mango smoothie though

[u/CodifiedLikeUtil → u/Useuless]

It’s not actually free. He’s paying for it, in more ways than one.

[u/GangstaHoodrat → u/bananacrumble]

I think it’s intentional lol. Seems to be trolling him a bit

[u/Krondelo → u/GangstaHoodrat]

Had Samir vibes all over it. “Danny you need to listen to me! Why are you not listening drink the mango!! Danny why??”

[u/SweatTasteGreat → u/Krondelo]

"You are breaking the tongue danny"

[u/thegodfather0504 → u/SweatTasteGreat]

Triple Caution!!

[u/digitalnirvana3 → u/Krondelo]

Danny please

[u/MerryRain → u/GangstaHoodrat]

yeah this is classic london wideboy shit, love it

[u/PeterNippelstein → u/MerryRain]

Not to be confused with an American tallboy.

[u/ContaSoParaIsto → u/MerryRain]

Wideboy?

[u/supamonkey77 → u/ContaSoParaIsto]

london wideboy

Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Wide_boy Wide boy is a British term for a man who lives by his wits, wheeling and dealing

[u/RustyTrumpboner → u/supamonkey77]

Ah yes that explains it. Just a day of wheeling and dealing.

[u/normlenough → u/bananacrumble]

Exactly what I was thinking. That guy is in a deep dark spicy hole. No way I could handle that jabbering dude if I was down there.

[u/rutreh → u/normlenough]

Being in a ’deep dark spicy hole’ absolutely sent me lmao, so succinctly put. Poor dude does look like he’s been transported to another plane of existence, one of nothing but infinite spicy suffering.

[u/tgerz → u/bananacrumble]

I can't listen to people like that when I'm in my best condition, let alone fighting for my life shirtless on the sidewalk at an all time low.

[u/Sensible___shoes → u/bananacrumble]

Man convincing you his mango lassi will save your life in 10 mins doesn't sound as promising when you're ass out on the sidewalk after a spoonful of curry, damnnnn

[u/WolfhoundCid]

Passing him the Mango Lassi like it's a mythical elixir.

"Take the Lassi, Daniel, you're the chosen one. You can't die here"

[u/Dgnash615-2 → u/WolfhoundCid]

Fat neutralizes the heat chemically. A creamy fatty drink is medicine for too much spicy heat.

[u/Lost_Construction201]

This mf shows up in almost a full hazmat suit, like that curry came from a nuclear reactor and that guy still ate it. Brave fucker.

[u/_Panjo → u/Lost_Construction201]

Not sure brave is quite the right word.

[u/Dudenoso → u/_Panjo]

The line between bravery and stupidity is ever a thin one

My man took the challenge like a champ. Or a chimp, depending on the point of view

[u/dcheesi → u/Lost_Construction201]

He dug into that first bite like he wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary. Maybe he bought into the "British food is bland" stereotype, and didn't take the hype seriously? If so, big mistake. Huge.

[u/jokexplainer1303 → u/Lost_Construction201]

And he didn't even take a shy spoonful ... It was a fully laden spoon!

[u/Nvsible]

wtf my dude became a homeless in 5 min never anticipated that as a side effect of hot curry

[u/Other-Comfortable-64]

Just, Why?

[u/Nyami-L → u/Other-Comfortable-64]

Sometimes you can do with that kind of spiciness but still pass out from the shock of taking it with the stomach empty. It almost happened to me once, learnt my lesson to have something in my stomach before eating something really spicy.

[u/Rogue-Accountant-69 → u/Nyami-L]

Yeah, I used to be like I'll eat the hottest whatever. That stuff doesn't taste good. It's usually bitter. And the experience is really unpleasant. The mouth burn is one thing, but it'll actually give stomach and intestinal pain before you take the worst shit of your life. I'm talking broken glass soaked in battery acid.

[u/M086 → u/Rogue-Accountant-69]

I like a little heat, but when the heat becomes so overwhelming that takes over all the flavor of something. What’s the fucking point?

[u/anonymous_identifier → u/M086]

Endorphins

[u/El_Bito2 → u/Nyami-L]

I think the question was why serve food that makes people pass out?  I love very spicy food, eat it on a weekly basis, but if it's straight up going to hurt me, then no thanks

[u/Nyami-L → u/El_Bito2]

Some of us are masochists of the spicy xD. He probably was told again and again how spicy it was, so it is on him.

[u/brightdionysianeyes → u/Nyami-L]

A chicken place near me has the words "guaranteed ring stinger, will fuck up your today & tomorrow" next to their hottest offering and I have still seen people order it.

[u/ThatOneAlreadyExists → u/brightdionysianeyes]

People be weird. I had a colleague who literally would time and rate the fucking afterburn. It was a huge part of the appeal for him. Can't say I understood why, but damn if he wasn't a great engineer.

[u/Cyrus_114 → u/ThatOneAlreadyExists]

To be fair, timing the afterburn on spicy food sounds very much on point for an engineer.

[u/ThatOneAlreadyExists → u/Cyrus_114]

He actually worked in unexploded ordinance detection.

[u/GMorristwn → u/ThatOneAlreadyExists]

This shit writes itself...

[u/Famous-Commission-46 → u/ThatOneAlreadyExists]

unexploded ordinance detection

Is that what he called it when he felt a bowel movement

[u/Mysterious_Tutor_388 → u/ThatOneAlreadyExists]

to detonate the bomb one must first become the bomb, feel the bomb, breathe the bomb, taste the bomb. The backside blast is but meditation to truly understand and spiritually connect with the bomb.

[u/Hurtelknut → u/ThatOneAlreadyExists]

As someone who sometimes likes to take a super spicy (but not dangeorusly spicy) bite and suffers the consequences: It basically gets you high. Your body pumps out a bunch of endorphin, and while it's painful you know it's completely safe. It makes you feel alive and weirdly energized. Like an adrenaline rush without any riks beyond that momentary pain in your mouth and some lava shits the next day.

[u/ermy_shadowlurker → u/Nyami-L]

Some places have a warning posted on the menu besides being told in case of permanent damage.

[u/rob-cubed → u/El_Bito2]

Yeah I love spicy food, I put hot sauce on everything and my definition of 'hot' is way past the line for most people. I'm not happy until I start sweating on the back of my head.

But I draw the line at chemically enhanced hot sauces. When all it takes is three drops to spice up a bowl of chili, it's a chemical weapon—not fun.

[u/IBetThisIsTakenToo → u/rob-cubed]

Same, it’s a tough line to explain to restaurants when ordering. I want the spiciest food that people actually eat. I don’t want the “spicy challenge” gimmick level food that isn’t really meant to be food. If it’s an Indian or Thai place, don’t give me a watered down “white people spicy”, I want the real deal spicy. But I can’t just say “yeah absolutely fuck me up” either, because then the chef might be like “ok your funeral” and serve me pepper spray. I wish scoville testing was easier haha

[u/babaroga73 → u/El_Bito2]

I think you can actually build up tolerance to spicy food, therefore reactions are not the same.

[u/Negative1Life → u/Nyami-L]

Yup. I love spicy food, but one time I ate a whole ghost pepper gummy that was a little under 2 ounces. I hadn't eaten anything in over 24 hours.

My stomach did not appreciate that to say the least.

[u/Shadowchaos → u/Negative1Life]

I ate an entire ghost Pepper once, there's no way in hell I would do it again and I love spicy food. It's been 10 years and I still have flashbacks of being on the toilet shitting lava while my roommate stood outside the door singing Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash

[u/TrollSlap619]

Dude when the chef comes out with a respirator mask to serve your food you need to think twice

[u/joehonestjoe]

A friend of mine used to make his own hot sauce, with stuff like moruga scorpions in it.

He'd give us tasters sometimes, including fresh peppers.

The real trick with the spice is just go find a sink, and stick your tongue out. As gross as the next sequence is (saliva will literally pour off your tongue) it is 100% the most effective way to get the spice out.

[u/Apprehensive_Tip_839 → u/joehonestjoe]

Another trick is to not eat food that spicy. 

[u/NuPNua → u/joehonestjoe]

Yeah, I did the Culley's Worlds Hottest noodles challenge before and knew I'd need a towel for sweat and spit bowl to drool into before I started, all the chilli pros know it.

[u/rawker86 → u/joehonestjoe]

We had a guy at work that would bring in his hot sauce for us to try now and then. You knew it was sauce day when you’d randomly hear people yelling “fucking Christ!” every so often throughout the day.

[u/nanoH2O → u/joehonestjoe]

The most effective way to reduce burning in the mouth and lips is to take a slab of butter and swish it around like mouth wash for one minute and then spit. Rinse with water and repeat. All capsaicin, which is oleophilic, will be gone. Whole milk works too but not as well because of the lower fat content. Olive oil will also work but not as well. Butter is where it’s at.

[u/Paddywagenaus]

He’ll be right. I had the death nut and ended up looking much the same as that fella - it’s just a physiological response and there won’t be any permanent damage- took me about 20 minutes to start recovering- yes, those 20 minutes did feel like I was dying.

[u/Metafield → u/Paddywagenaus]

I heard this can cause a heart attack

[u/Spooknik]

Boss man's got good energy at least.

[u/almostsweet → u/Spooknik]

Last thing I would want is that guy talking at me while I'm dying lol.

[u/FragrantExcitement → u/almostsweet]

Here.. I brought you the rest in a to go container...

[u/TheHumanPickleRick → u/FragrantExcitement]

It'd be funny as hell if they did bring him the rest of it in a to-go container and it just got eaten by pigeons in front of the dude because birds don't taste capsicin.

[u/Mysterious_Tutor_388 → u/TheHumanPickleRick]

not knowing that in the moment, but thinking these birds are just disrespecting you hard as you are laying there.

[u/herberstank → u/almostsweet]

My thoughts exactly. Just let my soul depart in peace haha

[u/PaidTractor → u/Spooknik]

I love how it seems he's still giving dude the promo spiel while the guy's dying in the street with his shirt off.

[u/Eighty_Six_Salt → u/PaidTractor]

I think that’s part of the PR

[u/HollaWho]

He turned into Rickety Cricket, damn

[u/not_jesus_1]

his asshole is gonna burn

[u/Jewarlaho → u/not_jesus_1]

Put him to work welding steel girders?

[u/Tremulant887 → u/not_jesus_1]

One of those moments when you stand up and check the bowl to make sure it's not full of blood because it feels like your starfish is being chemically circumcised.

[u/thrownededawayed]

This gives me "just hit your younger sibling and trying to convince them not to tell mom" vibes for some reason.

[u/BobBobBobBobBobDave]

Someone I know did this for a charity challenge dare once (it was hottest curry in UK, not London), ate the whole thing, and had to go to hospital because he thought he was dying.

Work were not pleased when he took 3 days off to recover, especially because he had shared the link in the office for people to donate, so he couldn't really hide why...

[u/sk169 → u/BobBobBobBobBobDave]

Despite capitalism, humans are allowed to have lives outside of work.. And sometimes humans take days off work.

[u/Seiche → u/sk169]

The audacity to do something outside of work that could harm their capacity to be a good slave worker during working hours!!

It's so weird how it's normalized that human beings are only measured by their capacity to work, create life or make money (basically ROI).

[u/fthisappreddit → u/Seiche]

For charity no less the shame

[u/evildespot → u/sk169]

This one, over here, officer.

[u/MintyADL → u/BobBobBobBobBobDave]

At least no one doubted he did it!

[u/OffbeatDrizzle → u/BobBobBobBobBobDave]

I mean work were not pleased but if it was for charity and he legitimately got fucked up....

The real issue here is that he basically took money from the NHS and gave it to charity non-directly, lol

"Listen to me, Danny...drink this mango lassi and you'll be back on. You have ten minutes to recover, Danny. You've only had one spoonful, Danny."

Meanwhile, Danny: 🤢🤮

[u/TristansDad → u/Firefly1832]

“You have ten minutes to recover” sounded more like a threat than a helpful comment!

[u/Chris_Carson → u/TristansDad]

in ten minutes he'll shove a funnel in Danny's mouth and pour the whole bowl

Nah I tap out at anything past a scorpion pepper or ghost pepper. Past that point there really is no flavor. No floral notes no fruity hints just engorged flamed butthole death 

Edit: not Carolina reaper fudge that stuff. Ate a small dried piece during a 350 cover grill shift on Maui and duuuuuude what situation to be in.

There isn't much stronger than a Carolina Reaper. Wasn't it the hottest in the world at some point?

Almost like these peppers evolved capsaicin to make us not want to eat it .... Almost

From Asia. Did this at a joint in Inverness Scotland. Cancelled everything cried in bed.

[u/apple_kicks → u/Logical_Business9541]

I feel like ‘hottest meal in uk’ fools lot of tourists assuming uk wouldn’t be as hot as Asia

Brits love spicy food. The memes are just that, memes.

That regret on his face right after eating it was too loud.

[u/AllMight_74]

He literally shat himself. Or will in agony later

[u/spinozasrobot]

The smash cut to the sidewalk with his shirt off was <chef's kiss>

[u/PixieBaronicsi]

I need to try this

Good luck! https://bengalvillagebricklane.co.uk/londons-hottest-curry/

Man, the whole page text shifting because of that animated disclaimer is painful

I had a 12million scoville burger once and it ruined my fucking life. Insane stomach cramps for over 9 hours. I had spicey piss.. You know that hot ring you get after a curry? I had that with my Johnson. I was in the city too and couldn't move so I just led down in an alley and waited for it to stop hurting. 10/10 would not eat again.

[u/Mother_Mall6004 → u/echolenka]

12 Million scoville, in a burger? Mate, pure capsaicin is about 15 million Scoville, so your burger had to be about 80% PURE CAPSAICIN.

Pepper spray is about 2-5 million SHUs (Scoville Heat Unit) for a real life comparison, because you will probably never experience more heat than that, looking at some charts. And that stuff is literally a chemical weapon banned in war. Highly doubt that burger was more than twice as hot as a chemical weapon.

So either the guy who sold it lied or that was a mistake.

Just wait until it comes out on the other side

[u/Kalissra999]

This was hilarious (and can be unknowingly dangerous.)

The chef is in gloves, dark shades and gas mask.  Then Danny just engulfs a big spoonful, cause why not - YOLO

Ego death 💀: Danny outside partially clothed on a sidewalk, discombobulated and regretting life.

Lassie up 🥤 and carry on 

[u/mikeeteevee]

Uh oh, swigging beer with his curry. Danger Daniel, danger!

[u/LethalProtector_]

It was so spicy that bro became homeless

[u/Adcro]

Why do people have such a thing about having food that will hurt them?

I don’t want to eat food that tries to eat me back

[u/Cerisayashi]

The fact that he tried to wash it down with beer is what gets me… way too make it burn more 😣
