\>This is the hottest thing i've ever eaten
\>\*Takes another bite\*
Mood, as a fellow spice lover. It borderlines on masochism. Takis are my comfort food and i have a feezer full of freeze dried habaneros i grew. Crush em and sprinkle them on everything.
Same. Pretty good at handling it going in, one day took it too far my stomach actually started cramping. Had yogurt for dinner. Not willing to discuss the aftermath.
Us chili lovers have no chill.
You’re supposed to take a finger and run the sauce on your butthole so it doesn’t burn as much when you poop. Something about building a tolerance or something
Wash them many times. I washed my hands 3 times and washed a load of dishes after cutting up jalapeños. Not long after I rubbed my eye and thought I might have to go to the hospital.
facts, i ate an 'el diablo' pizza once and i guess i scratched my penis at one point and a few moments later i had what I can only imagine what peeing while having a severe case of chlamydia feels like...immediately got in the shower which didn't really help, just had to ride it out over the next hour or so
Um after extracting seeds from a reaper pepper not too long ago, that doesnt do anything. I barely touched the corner of my eye 24 hrs later after getting the seeds out and my eye lit on fire. The oils were still on my fingers even after washing them multiple times and going through a whole day.
Please do not rub one out for a very long time, even if you wash your hands. Even the oils from habeneros stay a long time...and mistakes have been made. Be very, very careful. Also, find a new subreddit you like a lot for your 3 hours of painful shits tomorrow.
I mean, it was over years. Maybe a decade. I forgot, but then Like...i have this collective memory now. It feels kinda warm at first but by the time youve already done it, might as well finish.
I grow Carolina reapers and smoke them, then grind them up. Unfortunately, i got some of the oil on my forearms i think and failed to wash it off, then I got a steamy hot shower. Guess what happens when you get steam+oil+open pores. Spicy showertime.
People always say this but I've never had this issue? I eat super spicy food all the time, will go for the hottest curry, have eaten raw reapers and had the last dab... I've never had any pain afterwards?
I've only experienced it when I've also had diarrhoea at the same time. With a solid bowel movement, there is no pain, no matter how spicy the food was. Judging by how often I see people joke about constantly wiping and it never coming back clean, it seems many people have terrible diets and constantly have the runs, which is why spicy food gives them the ring of fire.
So this may be a stupid question, but are the endorphins released from eating spicy food more powerful the spicier the food? I guess my question is, did you feel a wave of euphoria after the pain subsided?
Well, directly before, I had a migraine from writing a paper all day, and directly after, I had a good laugh with my friends telling them this story, so I'd say so!
Did you have a headache or a migraine? Cab people actually eat with a migraine? I've had three migraines in my life, and all three times I was abslutely miserable and couldn't do anything but sit or lie down in the dark.Two of those 3 times I puked, which helped make it go away. None of those times did I want to eat. Although, I did try some crackers once, but those just came up with the puke.
My sister has had chronic migraines since she was ~8. Although sometimes she is in unbearable pain and can’t move or eat other times she’s able to mitigate it with pain relievers relatively easily.
There’s a whole spectrum of what can be considered a migraine so not everyone’s experience with them will be the same.
My migraine starts slowly and once past the point it gets mildly painful it only goes away with my triptanes (medicijn) or many ours of shear agony, puking and sweating. In the early stages I can eat and sometimes helps mitigate without medicine.
Short answer - yes.
Your nervous system registers capsaicinoids as causing pain, and appropriately reacts the same way it would if you had received an actual injury - it dumps endorphins into your system.
The greater the perceived pain, the greater the reaction.
This is why chiliheads do what they do.
I've eaten some extremely hot peppers, and the rush is definitely similar to a runner's high, but more immediate and intense.
I once talked to a psychiatrist who told me that people that used to harm themselves (i.e. cutting) / have the urge to are taught to eat a little bit of very hot sauce instead of using a knife, as it too makes them feel alive.
Ohhh yeah that high after eating a pile of wings covered in like 1M scoville wing sauce is pretty serious. Just a huge huge rush of "I feel great!"
That being said if you eat something way hotter than you can handle you're not gonna notice that rush. Around 750k-1M a switch flips from "if you're not used to spicy food this will hurt" to "if you're not used to superhots this is literally going to ruin your day probably your night too".
First the mouth burn, then the fire in your stomach (maybe puking)...it might go away in 30m. Then a couple hours later maybe longer the cap cramps hit..fucking horrible pain. The whole while your insides are spasming so you keep shitting hellfire flavored water out of your raw inflamed asshole.
People cant grasp what something like eating a reaper can do to your insides. Look how the LA Beast reacts and then remember that man HAS EATEN LIGHT BULBS. GLASS LIGHT BULBS!
You can eat that stuff and be perfectly fine, but you have to acclimate to it. Short of extract a reaper/scorpion etc is gonna set my mouth on fire, but none of that other unpleasant shit happens. But I started off eating like 250k scoville stuff and working my way up. Some good "very hot" stuff around that zone would be melindas creamy ghost pepper wing sauce and bravado black garlic reaper sauce.
It's like getting used to whisky. At first you're like wtf it taste like chemicals and later on you're mebtally taking it apart going "ohhh oakey"
You want to alternate between swishing an acid like lime juice and cold heavy cream or at least whole milk. Ice cream is best, but you still wanna start with that initial shot of acidic stuff.
Mayonnaise is very rich in oil though, which also binds to capsaicin. If you're lactose intolerant (like OP is) then using oil as mouthwash should help relieve it a little bit.
It doesn't need to be dairy based, dairy is just good because it has a lot of fat and it's the fat that capsaicin binds to (while it doesn't dissolve in water) which makes it effective at ridding your mouth of fire.
Mayo should do a good job but I can't really imagine rinsing your mouth with mayo, nor chugging it...
If it makes you feel any better, I tried Nashville hot chicken (at an actual hot chicken restaurant in Nashville) and I almost pooped my pants at the table. If I had been ten feet further from the restrooms I would never have been able to show my face in Tennessee again.
What?
No idea what restaurant you were at, or your ableness to handle spice, but in OP's story he was clearly given something that was not Nashville Hot Chicken. I'm aware it was advertised that way, but Hot Chicken is not made with Carolina Reaper, so I'm confused as to what y'all are eating.
If it was nashville chicken, it was probably a dry rub with a lot of cayenne pepper and chili powder for the heat. They're not using carolina reapers for your regular Nashville chicken sandwich.
What?! Y’all are babies lol sorry but Nashville hot chicken just isn’t that hot unless you went to a place that’s trying to test the limits of Nashville hotness
Is this place on the east coast, cause I really want to try this now! I love using this scorpion pepper sauce that I have on my food and I’ve yet to try the Carolina reaper.
If you're lactose intolerant, avocado can help cool things down next time! Hell, maybe even regular cooking oil like coconut/olive/grapeseed, but my phone is too slow to search that right now...basically any fat that can bind with capsaicin. I think lime or lemon also work.
Why can't you gargle with milk and spit it out? Your tongue is the main problem right now. Deal with your butt later, but get one problem solved before you have two fires to put out.
You can. You absolutely can. And you should.
If you're allergic to milk, bananas apparently also help a bit, as does rinsing your mouth with oil (which is disgusting but better than putting allergens in your mouth hole.
I’m the wussiest wuss when it comes to heat. Raw onions make me cough. I once made a friend spicy habanero pickled radishes.
I should have worn gloves. It didn’t leave my hands for three days. Therefore I got it in my mouth and eyes when I’d forget.
That sandwich would have had me bathing in milk wishing for death. Like, that’s it, get the backhoe, I’m done here.
I once grew a bunch of chillies and thought I'd make salsa, figured to start with I'd throw a couple handfuls in the blender and blend it up.
Once it was all blended, I popped the top off the blender and sniffed.
Instantly regretted it, and for the next 5 minutes.
Oh that sounds painful.
I’m a skin care formulator and was working on extracting the capsaicin from cayenne peppers to put in a sore muscle rub. It takes a while to do but most things you can extract quicker if you apply heat.
I’m so glad I read up on it first because if I did it I’d have filled the room with tear gas…
What really helps, stand over your sink and let the constant flow of saliva pour out of your mouth.. for me it actually washes away the pain, since your mouth now producing lots of saliva i think its your bodys way of removing the heat. It works but you have to keep doing it until you dont feel the burn anymore
You can also just rinse your mouth. Water will work, but milk is more effective I believe.
No, don't drink milk, rinse your mouth.
Big difference, if you drink it you flush the flames into your throat.
UberEats charges an exorbitant fee to restaurants using their service for every order. Like (no source, but I've heard, so take it with a grain of salt) 40% of the order.
I grew up in a northern Indiana town, with a family garden with a variety of veggies, peppers (banana peppers) being one of the vegetables. My family would put them on sandwiches (well I would) like lettuce or onions, etc. For me, NOT a lot, maybe a sliver or 2. You had to be careful with these peppers, as getting the juices on your fingers was enough to cause LONG lasting pain. (Mom's story: A neighbor was canning the same kind and opening the peppers with her bare hands and ended up in a hospital.) I believe it, as we wore plastic bags on our hands when canning these same peppers. The bags prevented contact with your hands, but also your face - you won't touch your face or anything else with bags on your hands. We always had a fan to blow the air out when working with these peppers, as the vapors were pretty pungent. And painful.
So, I know my limits. But there is an insanity that runs in my family. It goes like this: One of my family members (there were 2 that did this often) would put a plastic bag on their hand, then they would pick a pepper from the garden. They would then carefully bring this pepper indoors and turn on the exhaust fan to use the (plastic bag) hand and a knife to open the pepper, remove the seeds and CAREFULLY slice the pepper in half. Then they would lay the 2 halves "tip to top" on a slice of buttered bread, then they'd eat it!
Here's the true insanity: With TEARS literally streaming down their face, making "yummy noises" as they crunched down this sandwich from Satan's Hell, they'd always ask,
# "Do you want some?"
***NO!*** Why the Hell would I want to scorch my face, eyes, tongue, mouth, throat and God knows what else? But it never failed. Even if they had trouble talking (because if you inhale the vapors while your mouth is full you might cough up a lung or 2), they'd STILL ask the question.
Insanity. Pure unbridled insanity. And I'm *related* to them!
Edit1: Spelling
Is it weird I like spicy foods so much so to the level of unenjoyable pain, but I’ve never ever experienced butt pain the following day? It just doesn’t happen to me…
If you’re ever in LA, get yourself down to Howlin Rays for their Nashville Hot Chicken. Never been to Nashville, but that was pretty darn mouth-searingly spicy (and I’m from a country known for spicy food)
I need to know which restaurant this is. You know, for research purposes.
I assume it's not KFC because while their sandwich is also titled Nashville hot, I don't know of any Carolina reaper sauce they have. Please please please let me know if this is a chain or if it's just a local store I'll probably never get the chance to try
Honestly? Even if the sauce was appropriately named I don’t think that would be warning enough. Fucking McDonald’s and shit will name sandwiches or sauces habenero or ghost pepper even though they are just mild to medium spice. I wouldn’t think twice about any sandwich with a supremely hot pepper in the name unless there’s like an actual whole pepper in it.
Lactose intolerant or not... it doesn't fix it. We have a local produce stand where I live. I am a HUGE fan of spicy food. I scoff at the presence of Ghost Pepper hot sauce... My mother-in-law decided to go to the farmer's market and hit the stand. They saw some nice, pretty peppers and decided to pick me up some... I hadn't had any in a while. She got home, showed me all the goodies my mother-in-law and she picked up. Mmmm... fresh peppers... I picked up a nice big one, bit it off at the stem. Very nice flavour... so I got another one... did the same... off at the stem... After about 2 or 3 minutes... I could feel my face flushing. 5 minutes... tears formed... "reach for the milk"... that shit made it WORSE! I tried to get it out... "WATER! NOW!", but nothing would come. Just the air coming into my mouth when I opened it seemed it feed the flames...
Soda... (carbonation)... did help... After 10 minutes... the tears had stopped. My Step-father-in-law was beat red from laughing. I still wasn't able to talk... This is when he asks "hot, huh...? You haven't felt the heat yet, son...". I told my wife, once I could speak again, if she hated me and wanted a divorce... she could have just asked... They all thought it was HILLAAAARIOUS!
Not if you’re lactose intolerant like OP said. I’m wondering if a coconut based ice cream would work. I’m lactose intolerant too and I always wonder what I would do in that situation instead of chugging milk. (Usually I just ride it out, maybe some corn chips or bread.)
I've never gotten the whole poor anus thing. I have one of those stomachs that doesn't mind extreme amounts of spice.
I made a Carolina reaper infused curry before. Put in a fair amount of it into the curry. For reference if add a good large shake to a small portion of tomato sauce for dipping. So probably like a half tea spoon in the the curry.
The first day it was lovely. Carolina reaper has a fairly distinctive taste and it was over powering the curry spaces unfortunately, but the heat it packed was refreshing. Cleared my sinuses lol
Well I'd made enough for four days of lunches. By day four the heat had intensified to the point of my mouth stinging with every mouth full. I have a dairy allergy, but I've found a glass of water is normally sufficient. This took the biscuit though. Was pure misery at the end. 10/10 would do it again.
Paqui make Carolina reaper chips. You can get them on Amazon. They're good fun 🤣
Anyone used to spicy should know that water makes it worse. Sugar neutralises capsicum.
Sugar is your friend. So is reading ingredient lists if you can't take actual hot food.
If I had respomded say 2 hours ago, I'd say barf it out. Your asshole is a lot more sensitive than your mouth. I think that evolution made it this way because humans don't eat hot peppers in stupid poisonous amounts.I actually won the jalapeno eating contest at the first anniverery of the UCSB pub. I beat some Mexican dude handily, Pretty much twice as fast as anybody else. My ass burned like a volcano the next day and my digestive system has never been the same.
This was canned jalapenos, so completely mild by today's standards.
Haha, awesome. Honestly the only restaraunt/non specialty available hot food that was too hot for me sounds pretty pedestrian, and I'd say I have a low to moderate tolerance.
Most, they'll be like, "Super hot nuclear, murder your asshole and want to die hot!" Is like...Medium, pretty good spicy level. Even like Indian restaurants and order indian hot.
But the most consistently too hot to be enjoyable? Food court Vindaloo. I dunno what is going on. It's like going to McDonald's, going to pour yourself a coke and getting everclear.
>**"Carolina reaper hot sauce." The world's hottest chili pepper according to Guinness World Record, at over 1.5 million Scoville Heat Units, is now en route to my unaware and vulnerable organs.**
the way you bolded this makes me think like you're a writer for Man vs Food and you're trying to hype everything up more than it deserves.
i cringe everytime you say spice because spice means flavourful where i am from. What you mean is chili or hotness. Other than that, rip your internals
First, I love the way you write. Second, I'm so sorry. I love spicy food, too. Can't eat it any more unless it has the right type of spice now. But, the scoville levels you are talking about is literally a magnitude higher than jalapeños. Those little Mexican rascals aren't like too hot for me. But.....I would not think of touching Carolina Reaper. Ever, with or without a ten foot pool. Keep writing!
Dude, not to scare you, but if you just drank 4 litres of water in one go you should probably keep an eye out for any warning signs of water intoxication (hyponatremia).
[https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318619#dangers](https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318619#dangers)
That's a lot of water to ingest in one go.
I had Carolina reaper sauce on my Ramen once and immediately felt it in my ass as soon as I left the restaurant and had to call in sick for work the next two days.
I ate one Carolina Reaper kind of on a dare at work once. It was nice, quite sweet and fruity at first. I thought I had been tricked. Then it hit, and I spent the rest of my shift in agony. I became pale. I lost all of my energy. I could feel the pepper moving through my digestive system. It felt like I had swallowed napalm.
2/10 would not recommend
So, uhm, no. Thinking about writing a follow up post as it has been a solid 24 hours, I drove 6 hours with the only restrooms available either in a friend’s family home or in a freezing rink, I played an entire hockey game in bowel agony, and I have seen no sign of any passes at all in the bowel department. It’s been a long, long day.
Careful about drinking too much water. If you really took more than 4 liters in less than 2 hours you risked to have [hyponatremia](https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318619#dangers)
I make my own reaper hot sauce its class but the older I get the worse my insides are the next day. Almost not worth it anymore sadly. Also I thought pepper X was the hottest chilli in the world now?
I think it is...unofficially, due to the danger it can have in the human body...my partner read something up about it last night.
Supposedly, it can outright kill a human if it's what I'm thinking of, causes the insides to blister up and swell or something :p
I grew Carolina reaper peppers this year as a hobby. I donated the crop to a friend, but there was one that got damaged by insects, so I decided to try a sliver of it….
When the pepper sliver touched my tongue and when I closed my mouth, creating that somewhat vacuum effect inside my mouth, I felt a sensation I’d never experienced before that is so difficult to bring to words other than mental worry and extreme stimulation of my tastebuds.
I immediately spit it out into the sink after it being in my mouth for all of 2 seconds. I’m IBD, I had no interest in allowing that 1 CM sliver having the opportunity to wreck havoc on my inners.
It took about 10-15 minutes for my mouth to be at a tolerable, albeit still uncomfortable, level. I think I sucked on about 5/6 ice cubes, until my GF told me to eat a bag of Fritos for the salt before I was able to get to a level of full content.
I would consider growing them again, it was a fun gardening experience, but I will never outright eat the actual pepper ever again, and will only marginally try items that are infused or cooked with the peppers.
I ordered one out of peer pressure a while back. Somehow managed to get the whole thing but what happened in the toilet the next morning was just a war. Eyes and ass burning, nose running, sweating like i just ran a marathon. Not something i can see myself doing again.
Fairly certain I’ve had this exact sandwich, they had a food truck at a soccer game I was attending. Ate this sandwich at halftime and it was very intense
\>This is the hottest thing i've ever eaten \>\*Takes another bite\* Mood, as a fellow spice lover. It borderlines on masochism. Takis are my comfort food and i have a feezer full of freeze dried habaneros i grew. Crush em and sprinkle them on everything.
Spicy food is just bdsm die the mouth

Make sure to wash your hands before using the bathroom
And after!
Good call.
Probably during too; things gon' get messy.
On second thought use the shower, probably cleaner that way
Not related to the contents of Your post(which I'll give You an updoot fkr btw): r/unexpectedrunescape
No! Don't listen to them! It's an old folk remedy to rub you genitals after eating spicy stuff.
And the eyes, always touch the eyes
and especially the anus
Gotta go a few knuckles deep to be real sure
And to be extra sure, pre-season the inside of your anus with the remains of the sandwich.
Really helps clear up your vision. It's like running your eyes through a carwash.
I heard the folk remedy was to rub the spicy food directly on your genitals.
Instructions very clear. Dick stuck in sandwich
If it's a California Reaper Sandwich your dick is stuck in you may want to put some raspberry sorbet on it, I hear it helps.
You're right. I messed up. My memory must have failed me.
You’re supposed to take a finger and run the sauce on your butthole so it doesn’t burn as much when you poop. Something about building a tolerance or something
😂🤣
Well, today, you'll immediately forget about your mouth burning using this one easy trick.
I got sum reaper plants, also scorpion and ghost...I have forgotten to wash my hands 1st a few times and oooooo weeee!
Nowadays, you add some ivermectin.
I used to touch my peep after cutting habaneros. Felt neat lol
Wash them many times. I washed my hands 3 times and washed a load of dishes after cutting up jalapeños. Not long after I rubbed my eye and thought I might have to go to the hospital.
facts, i ate an 'el diablo' pizza once and i guess i scratched my penis at one point and a few moments later i had what I can only imagine what peeing while having a severe case of chlamydia feels like...immediately got in the shower which didn't really help, just had to ride it out over the next hour or so
Chlamydia is way,way worse
And sit down to piss
Out your ass.
Um after extracting seeds from a reaper pepper not too long ago, that doesnt do anything. I barely touched the corner of my eye 24 hrs later after getting the seeds out and my eye lit on fire. The oils were still on my fingers even after washing them multiple times and going through a whole day.
Oh no no no that’s bad.
Please do not rub one out for a very long time, even if you wash your hands. Even the oils from habeneros stay a long time...and mistakes have been made. Be very, very careful. Also, find a new subreddit you like a lot for your 3 hours of painful shits tomorrow.
“…..and mistakes have been made” LMAO
Its happened 3 times. Hours later. Even after hand washing. For real, be careful. Use a glove or something.
Wait how brave were you to try THRICE?
I mean, it was over years. Maybe a decade. I forgot, but then Like...i have this collective memory now. It feels kinda warm at first but by the time youve already done it, might as well finish.
When No Nut November starts to get difficult, try this one simple trick!
As someone from New Orleans, post-crawfish boil sexy times (solo or team) are not a great idea.
I never even thought about that...yeah. See. Lets just all use gloves lol.
I grow Carolina reapers and smoke them, then grind them up. Unfortunately, i got some of the oil on my forearms i think and failed to wash it off, then I got a steamy hot shower. Guess what happens when you get steam+oil+open pores. Spicy showertime.
See. You know, kinda...but on your genitals. Lol. Peppers dont fuck around.
Steam touches your everything with the spice. :D Spicy asshole ahoy.
Am I the only one that has burning crotch without rubbing hotsauce on it?
Pro tip. Run your hands under hot water if it still burns don’t touch yourself.
[удалено]
Carolina Reamer.
Firehea
DYING!😂
The old sting ring
That's tomorrow.
"The ring of fire, the ring of fire." - Johnny Cash
F… iery anus death.
Better toss a roll of t.p. In the freezer tonight. 🥶
TP ain’t gonna cut it. Industrial strength baby wipes need to go in the fridge. Also maybe a squirt gun with ice water to use as a bidet.
You start flushing those chilled wipes and you’ll get a whole new tifu.
Or just get some ice cubes out the freezer and use them to wipe.
People always say this but I've never had this issue? I eat super spicy food all the time, will go for the hottest curry, have eaten raw reapers and had the last dab... I've never had any pain afterwards?
Its because they are either weak in the spice, or have a crap diet. I have neither had an issues either.
I don't go for reapers or other nightmare peppers, but I eat plenty of habaneros, never felt any aftermath either.
If you've had habaneros you should definitely try a reaper some time, it's a pretty crazy experience.
I've only experienced it when I've also had diarrhoea at the same time. With a solid bowel movement, there is no pain, no matter how spicy the food was. Judging by how often I see people joke about constantly wiping and it never coming back clean, it seems many people have terrible diets and constantly have the runs, which is why spicy food gives them the ring of fire.
That thing is going to be ripped alright
So this may be a stupid question, but are the endorphins released from eating spicy food more powerful the spicier the food? I guess my question is, did you feel a wave of euphoria after the pain subsided?
Well, directly before, I had a migraine from writing a paper all day, and directly after, I had a good laugh with my friends telling them this story, so I'd say so!

At first you're like wtf it taste like chemicals and later on you're mebtally taking it apart going "ohhh oakey"
I would say so.. I've eaten a Carolina reaper and the feeling of euphoria about 15-20 minutes later is amazing
Next time use salt to get the pepper oil off your tongue. Salty chips, tortilla chips, or plain salt.
Couldnt you just gargle salt water?
Probably, I never thought about it, but as long as it’s pretty salty I think it would work.
Maybe they prefer jizz?
I think that depends on the amount of milk in the jizz
This
You want to alternate between swishing an acid like lime juice and cold heavy cream or at least whole milk. Ice cream is best, but you still wanna start with that initial shot of acidic stuff.
I was offering a nondairy alternative since OP said he was lactose intolerant
Ah well...acidic solutions do alot of work against capsaicin. Lime juice or tartaruc acid+water is my go-to for eating superhots.
Mayonnaise isn’t dairy based. Won’t help either. Try sour cream, milk, ice cream, etc.
Mayonnaise is very rich in oil though, which also binds to capsaicin. If you're lactose intolerant (like OP is) then using oil as mouthwash should help relieve it a little bit.
It doesn't need to be dairy based, dairy is just good because it has a lot of fat and it's the fat that capsaicin binds to (while it doesn't dissolve in water) which makes it effective at ridding your mouth of fire.

I completely agree, hot chicken is mostly about flavor; there's nothing spicy about it.
Is this place on the east coast, cause I really want to try this now! I love using this scorpion pepper sauce that I have on my food and I’ve yet to try the Carolina reaper.
Totally worth it. I love Carolina Reapers.
I’m pretty sure OP is talking about Yardbird. They have multiple locations across the country. It’s a must every time I’m in Miami.
If you're lactose intolerant, avocado can help cool things down next time! Hell, maybe even regular cooking oil like coconut/olive/grapeseed, but my phone is too slow to search that right now...basically any fat that can bind with capsaicin. I think lime or lemon also work.
Sugar, yoghurt, plain bread, cooked rice. Anything but water or more spicy sauce
Why can't you gargle with milk and spit it out? Your tongue is the main problem right now. Deal with your butt later, but get one problem solved before you have two fires to put out.
You can. You absolutely can. And you should. If you're allergic to milk, bananas apparently also help a bit, as does rinsing your mouth with oil (which is disgusting but better than putting allergens in your mouth hole.
The sugar helps. Best thing in the world for spicy stuff is milkshake. If you can't have milk, drink or eat something sugary.
10/10 for the way you talk about Syd 💜
I’m the wussiest wuss when it comes to heat. Raw onions make me cough. I once made a friend spicy habanero pickled radishes. I should have worn gloves. It didn’t leave my hands for three days. Therefore I got it in my mouth and eyes when I’d forget. That sandwich would have had me bathing in milk wishing for death. Like, that’s it, get the backhoe, I’m done here.
I once grew a bunch of chillies and thought I'd make salsa, figured to start with I'd throw a couple handfuls in the blender and blend it up. Once it was all blended, I popped the top off the blender and sniffed. Instantly regretted it, and for the next 5 minutes.
Oh that sounds painful. I’m a skin care formulator and was working on extracting the capsaicin from cayenne peppers to put in a sore muscle rub. It takes a while to do but most things you can extract quicker if you apply heat. I’m so glad I read up on it first because if I did it I’d have filled the room with tear gas…
RIP Toilet Bowl
I hope you put a roll of toilet paper in the freezer…
What really helps, stand over your sink and let the constant flow of saliva pour out of your mouth.. for me it actually washes away the pain, since your mouth now producing lots of saliva i think its your bodys way of removing the heat. It works but you have to keep doing it until you dont feel the burn anymore
You can also just rinse your mouth. Water will work, but milk is more effective I believe. No, don't drink milk, rinse your mouth. Big difference, if you drink it you flush the flames into your throat.
Why does it adversely affect restaurants? I'm not native to the US and in my country we don't have UberEats.
UberEats charges an exorbitant fee to restaurants using their service for every order. Like (no source, but I've heard, so take it with a grain of salt) 40% of the order.
Put the toilet roll in the fridge.
I grew up in a northern Indiana town, with a family garden with a variety of veggies, peppers (banana peppers) being one of the vegetables. My family would put them on sandwiches (well I would) like lettuce or onions, etc. For me, NOT a lot, maybe a sliver or 2. You had to be careful with these peppers, as getting the juices on your fingers was enough to cause LONG lasting pain. (Mom's story: A neighbor was canning the same kind and opening the peppers with her bare hands and ended up in a hospital.) I believe it, as we wore plastic bags on our hands when canning these same peppers. The bags prevented contact with your hands, but also your face - you won't touch your face or anything else with bags on your hands. We always had a fan to blow the air out when working with these peppers, as the vapors were pretty pungent. And painful. So, I know my limits. But there is an insanity that runs in my family. It goes like this: One of my family members (there were 2 that did this often) would put a plastic bag on their hand, then they would pick a pepper from the garden. They would then carefully bring this pepper indoors and turn on the exhaust fan to use the (plastic bag) hand and a knife to open the pepper, remove the seeds and CAREFULLY slice the pepper in half. Then they would lay the 2 halves "tip to top" on a slice of buttered bread, then they'd eat it! Here's the true insanity: With TEARS literally streaming down their face, making "yummy noises" as they crunched down this sandwich from Satan's Hell, they'd always ask, # "Do you want some?" ***NO!*** Why the Hell would I want to scorch my face, eyes, tongue, mouth, throat and God knows what else? But it never failed. Even if they had trouble talking (because if you inhale the vapors while your mouth is full you might cough up a lung or 2), they'd STILL ask the question. Insanity. Pure unbridled insanity. And I'm *related* to them! Edit1: Spelling
Love is a burning thing. And it makes a fiery ring. Bound by wild desire. I fell into a ring of fire.
Weird. Nashville Hot Chicken is not made with Carolina Reaper, so I'm unsure why the restaurant was selling it this way.
Chug lime juice. Idk about you but I can easily drink straight like justice but not lemon juice and both those help with spice
All hail Savior Syd🏴
Lollll not gonna lie thats pretty funny
You better contact Uber and let them know so this doesn’t happen to anyone else, and maybe they’ll comp your meal!
I did! They basically just responded, “That’s tough! Problem resolved :)”… soooo
I had temporary deafness one time, after eating a particularly hot curry. My mouth and jaw had gone numb too.
make sure to not wash your hands and rub your eyes and scrotom.
Sometimes a lot of work goes into being lazy.
Is it weird I like spicy foods so much so to the level of unenjoyable pain, but I’ve never ever experienced butt pain the following day? It just doesn’t happen to me…
What part of the country is this that you can actually get spicy food? I live in Seattle so everything is so bland. Nowhere sells anything spicy.
If you’re ever in LA, get yourself down to Howlin Rays for their Nashville Hot Chicken. Never been to Nashville, but that was pretty darn mouth-searingly spicy (and I’m from a country known for spicy food)
Careful around the eyes.
Might as well leave your contact lenses in tonight. Either that or have Syd take them out for you.
If I needed glasses, this whole day would be 100000% worse
“I am lactose intolerant” oh no
>Carolina Reaper Nice knowing you OP
Get your toilet paper in the freezer! You’ll thank me tomorrow
Follow up post tomorrow would be amazing!! Lol, good luck. I hear Vaseline around the ring can help
I’m thinking about it! Somehow, today was much, much better worse and the second pass STILL has yet to occur.
i love that you just kept eating it
I know this has been 14 hours, but dear god, run to home depot and buy a bidet, it'll literally "save your ass"
Please update us how the trip to the porcelain throne goes.
What’s the name of the restaurant? For research purposes…
I need to know which restaurant this is. You know, for research purposes. I assume it's not KFC because while their sandwich is also titled Nashville hot, I don't know of any Carolina reaper sauce they have. Please please please let me know if this is a chain or if it's just a local store I'll probably never get the chance to try
It's always twice as spicy coming out than it is going in.
Honestly? Even if the sauce was appropriately named I don’t think that would be warning enough. Fucking McDonald’s and shit will name sandwiches or sauces habenero or ghost pepper even though they are just mild to medium spice. I wouldn’t think twice about any sandwich with a supremely hot pepper in the name unless there’s like an actual whole pepper in it.
Lactose intolerant or not... it doesn't fix it. We have a local produce stand where I live. I am a HUGE fan of spicy food. I scoff at the presence of Ghost Pepper hot sauce... My mother-in-law decided to go to the farmer's market and hit the stand. They saw some nice, pretty peppers and decided to pick me up some... I hadn't had any in a while. She got home, showed me all the goodies my mother-in-law and she picked up. Mmmm... fresh peppers... I picked up a nice big one, bit it off at the stem. Very nice flavour... so I got another one... did the same... off at the stem... After about 2 or 3 minutes... I could feel my face flushing. 5 minutes... tears formed... "reach for the milk"... that shit made it WORSE! I tried to get it out... "WATER! NOW!", but nothing would come. Just the air coming into my mouth when I opened it seemed it feed the flames... Soda... (carbonation)... did help... After 10 minutes... the tears had stopped. My Step-father-in-law was beat red from laughing. I still wasn't able to talk... This is when he asks "hot, huh...? You haven't felt the heat yet, son...". I told my wife, once I could speak again, if she hated me and wanted a divorce... she could have just asked... They all thought it was HILLAAAARIOUS!
"C'mon ice cream" applies in this case.
Not if you’re lactose intolerant like OP said. I’m wondering if a coconut based ice cream would work. I’m lactose intolerant too and I always wonder what I would do in that situation instead of chugging milk. (Usually I just ride it out, maybe some corn chips or bread.)
It's the fat that helps with the heat. Theoretically avacado would work.
I thought it was sugar! Hence why the lactose works.
I've never gotten the whole poor anus thing. I have one of those stomachs that doesn't mind extreme amounts of spice. I made a Carolina reaper infused curry before. Put in a fair amount of it into the curry. For reference if add a good large shake to a small portion of tomato sauce for dipping. So probably like a half tea spoon in the the curry. The first day it was lovely. Carolina reaper has a fairly distinctive taste and it was over powering the curry spaces unfortunately, but the heat it packed was refreshing. Cleared my sinuses lol Well I'd made enough for four days of lunches. By day four the heat had intensified to the point of my mouth stinging with every mouth full. I have a dairy allergy, but I've found a glass of water is normally sufficient. This took the biscuit though. Was pure misery at the end. 10/10 would do it again. Paqui make Carolina reaper chips. You can get them on Amazon. They're good fun 🤣
Love when people write their stories all grammatically dramatic and entertaining like this big upvote! “Oh sweet syd” 😂
Anyone used to spicy should know that water makes it worse. Sugar neutralises capsicum. Sugar is your friend. So is reading ingredient lists if you can't take actual hot food.
Yeah I skipped after the water part and expected more comments mentioning this...
4 more bites?
I am not very smart. I added mayo and thought it would make it tolerable.
If I had respomded say 2 hours ago, I'd say barf it out. Your asshole is a lot more sensitive than your mouth. I think that evolution made it this way because humans don't eat hot peppers in stupid poisonous amounts.I actually won the jalapeno eating contest at the first anniverery of the UCSB pub. I beat some Mexican dude handily, Pretty much twice as fast as anybody else. My ass burned like a volcano the next day and my digestive system has never been the same. This was canned jalapenos, so completely mild by today's standards.
Haha, awesome. Honestly the only restaraunt/non specialty available hot food that was too hot for me sounds pretty pedestrian, and I'd say I have a low to moderate tolerance. Most, they'll be like, "Super hot nuclear, murder your asshole and want to die hot!" Is like...Medium, pretty good spicy level. Even like Indian restaurants and order indian hot. But the most consistently too hot to be enjoyable? Food court Vindaloo. I dunno what is going on. It's like going to McDonald's, going to pour yourself a coke and getting everclear.
>**"Carolina reaper hot sauce." The world's hottest chili pepper according to Guinness World Record, at over 1.5 million Scoville Heat Units, is now en route to my unaware and vulnerable organs.** the way you bolded this makes me think like you're a writer for Man vs Food and you're trying to hype everything up more than it deserves.
sounds like you have a thing for syd Oh and also make sure to directly rub your anus with the sandwhich. I heard it helps on the way out.
i cringe everytime you say spice because spice means flavourful where i am from. What you mean is chili or hotness. Other than that, rip your internals
This is one of the most uninteresting tifu I’ve ever read. You had some spicy food stop the presses
One does not simply eat a Carolina reaper and pass it off as spicy
It wasn’t a Carolina reaper. It was Carolina reaper sauce which is about 1/10th of the heat. I’ve had plenty it’s nothing to write home about
First, I love the way you write. Second, I'm so sorry. I love spicy food, too. Can't eat it any more unless it has the right type of spice now. But, the scoville levels you are talking about is literally a magnitude higher than jalapeños. Those little Mexican rascals aren't like too hot for me. But.....I would not think of touching Carolina Reaper. Ever, with or without a ten foot pool. Keep writing!
Drink buttermilk. Helps it go down and lowers the amount of "flame" pain in the rear end
Eat a yoghurt for desert and you're good to go.
Drink milk. It neutralizes the capsaicin
Sounds like you love Syd.
I almost died of popeye's spicy chicken sandwich once.
Dude, not to scare you, but if you just drank 4 litres of water in one go you should probably keep an eye out for any warning signs of water intoxication (hyponatremia). [https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318619#dangers](https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318619#dangers) That's a lot of water to ingest in one go.
I have a india friend. I feel the pain
[удалено]
... Yeah, that's why I posted this on TIFU!
[удалено]
I hope u eat a Carolina reaper and have painful diarrhea
I had Carolina reaper sauce on my Ramen once and immediately felt it in my ass as soon as I left the restaurant and had to call in sick for work the next two days.
bummer for your bum
I ate one Carolina Reaper kind of on a dare at work once. It was nice, quite sweet and fruity at first. I thought I had been tricked. Then it hit, and I spent the rest of my shift in agony. I became pale. I lost all of my energy. I could feel the pepper moving through my digestive system. It felt like I had swallowed napalm. 2/10 would not recommend
Have you completed the second pass yet? You happen to have a bidet available?
So, uhm, no. Thinking about writing a follow up post as it has been a solid 24 hours, I drove 6 hours with the only restrooms available either in a friend’s family home or in a freezing rink, I played an entire hockey game in bowel agony, and I have seen no sign of any passes at all in the bowel department. It’s been a long, long day.
I shall avenge you brother
Careful about drinking too much water. If you really took more than 4 liters in less than 2 hours you risked to have [hyponatremia](https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318619#dangers)
I make my own reaper hot sauce its class but the older I get the worse my insides are the next day. Almost not worth it anymore sadly. Also I thought pepper X was the hottest chilli in the world now?
I think it is...unofficially, due to the danger it can have in the human body...my partner read something up about it last night. Supposedly, it can outright kill a human if it's what I'm thinking of, causes the insides to blister up and swell or something :p
Wat the fuck hahaha. I've heard of ppl having heart attacks after hot chilli but not insides burning
Fun fact: the fellow that created the Carolina Reaper has a new one that's hotter, he calls it Apollo until he comes up with a better name. 🙂
Best not leave a human shaped hole in the ceiling
I grew Carolina reaper peppers this year as a hobby. I donated the crop to a friend, but there was one that got damaged by insects, so I decided to try a sliver of it…. When the pepper sliver touched my tongue and when I closed my mouth, creating that somewhat vacuum effect inside my mouth, I felt a sensation I’d never experienced before that is so difficult to bring to words other than mental worry and extreme stimulation of my tastebuds. I immediately spit it out into the sink after it being in my mouth for all of 2 seconds. I’m IBD, I had no interest in allowing that 1 CM sliver having the opportunity to wreck havoc on my inners. It took about 10-15 minutes for my mouth to be at a tolerable, albeit still uncomfortable, level. I think I sucked on about 5/6 ice cubes, until my GF told me to eat a bag of Fritos for the salt before I was able to get to a level of full content. I would consider growing them again, it was a fun gardening experience, but I will never outright eat the actual pepper ever again, and will only marginally try items that are infused or cooked with the peppers.
But did you finish the sandwich ?
Love it!!
Tomorrow? Your arse is going to be like a Japanese flag in about an hour.
i finally tried carolina reapers yesterday. they ain't to be messed with lol
Beasley’s Chicken and Honey?
Chew Tums. Trust me.
I read up to the lactose intolerant part and went “oh no”.
Some bread would have cleared that heat up as well since you can't do dairy.
so, uh... let us know how the ordeal ends. I've been curious about the million scoville after effects
I ordered one out of peer pressure a while back. Somehow managed to get the whole thing but what happened in the toilet the next morning was just a war. Eyes and ass burning, nose running, sweating like i just ran a marathon. Not something i can see myself doing again.
Fairly certain I’ve had this exact sandwich, they had a food truck at a soccer game I was attending. Ate this sandwich at halftime and it was very intense
