Arron Hendy and Ruari Barratt were dining at U.K. eatery Burger Off. Each took one bite of the “XXX Hot Chili Burger.” Minutes later, Barratt began suffering from severe stomach pain and soon lost feeling in his hands. His legs also began shaking and his eyes rolled to the back of his head, reports The Argus.
The sauce uses a concentrated piri piri chili sauce from India. Gambardella estimated that the sauce measures between seven to nine million units on the Scolville scale.
Tabasco sauce comes in around 2,500 – 5,000, while pepper spray ranks 500,000 to five million units.

I sometimes get a bottle Chipotle Tabasco and drink it.
So good!
LOL!
It’s hard to believe this story is from England. In the 1960’s, about the only place in England where one could get a hamburger was at a chain of burger joints called Wimpy—and to us Americans, that was an apt description of its hamburgers.
I know someone who tasted a drop of “Endorphin Rush”, and passed out.
That stuff is appropriately named. Once was enough.
Why does all this remind me of Homer Simpson drinking candle wax and then downing a bunch of Guatemalan Insanity Peppers?
I concur... guess we’ll both have to get right on Sunday. And oh to be around when it burns them the second time.
I left the ghost peppers for the Carolina Reaper some time ago. I had a customer (I own an old school, "come in, sit a spell, have a cup of coffee" gun shop) go to a specialty hot sauce store, seeking something that I wouldn't be able to tolerate. She came in with a bottle of "One Drop" sauce that contained Oleoresin Capsicum, aka OC, the stuff in pepper spray. She had been told no one could handle more than one drop. She was sure she had me beat... I poured a little in a plastic spoon and dipped a toothpick in it for a taste. After that, I picked up the spoon and finished it. I then smothered a burger with the sauce... She was so upset that she threatened to go back to the store and demand a refund! She gave up on trying to beat me at the hot sauce game...
I love a good hot sauce... I would be willing to try this burger...
I had to do pepper spray once, in police academy. Never again, and certainly not as an entree.

Not as good as when Homer licked a toad and had the acid trip of a lifetime. The animators must’ve enjoyed the hell out of that episode, and it shows.

I buy my hot Sauce at Gun Shows.
[burps happily, asks for seconds]
Ping.

Dumb ass.
They knew they couldn't feed that to the base population at the dining hall, though.
Beer flowed freely that night.

Private parties for my cooks later? Different story.
And because the SPs always wanted special timing/meals, and got it, they left our parties alone (except to stop by and graze). ;)
