A Canadian man set a Guinness World Record by eating 25 Carolina reaper chilli peppers in just 4 minutes and 36.26 seconds. Mike Jack, a YouTuber known for his ability to handle extreme spice, achieved the record at Goatfest in Kitchener, Ontario.
The Carolina reaper is one of the hottest peppers in the world, measuring around 1.6 million Scoville Heat Units—hundreds of times spicier than a jalapeño.
Jack admitted the challenge was painful, saying, “I might make it look a little easier than it is, but I’m burning up here.” Despite the intense heat, he powered through to secure his record. This isn’t his only Guinness title—though he’s famous for spice challenges, he also set a record last year for drinking a Capri Sun juice pouch in just 21.71 seconds using a paper straw.
Carolina reapers were once the world’s hottest pepper, but they were dethroned by “Pepper X” in 2023. Still, eating 25 of them in under five minutes is a feat few would dare to attempt!
very interesting
I loved reading it because, I never knew that maybe chocolate might be gone in the future!
save the chocolate…
I enjoyed this reading because
it show what climate changes does!!
they might have to move most chocolate into a colder place, since the climate clock is getting low
so temperature might get higher.
i love chocolate
I’m allergic to dairy, but this makes me sad for my best friends all around NZ (don’t think it’s weird because I actually do). And my chocolate loving cousin, her name is Dana (I’m from South Korea and she told me how to spell her name in Korean but its not pronounced like Dana).
I know that there are chocolate lovers around the world so, poor them or if you like chocolate poor you (even though I’m allergic to dairy, or to make it easy dairy products: cheese, milk, butter etc).
