He gave me a toothpick dipped in the sauce.
I had a similar reaction.
Not even a bite of the pepper, just a lick of a toothpick and I was in agony.
I'm someone who can take *some* heat, but his was on a different plane.
Never again!
I have no idea what kind of pepper it was, but it was brutal.
No amount of beer or water could wash the pain away.
Heh, funny, of everyone I know, I have the most desire and tolerance for spice.
But there is no way I would do what these people do on camera. I think that is the stupidest thing. What is the purpose? I don’t have a problem trying a tiny nibble of something experimentally, or taking a sauce on a toothpick like you did, but these people who stick a whole pepper in their mouths??????
No thank you-once was enough for me!
