Burger spicier than pepper spray sends UK journalists to hospital
Foxnews ^ | 7-10-2014

Posted on 07/10/2014 5:49:11 PM PDT by equalator

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.

At 7-9 million on the Scoville scale, this stuff could be used in Shamanic rituals.

LOL!

I watched this idiot named ‘L.A. Beast’ drink a gallon of the Habanero Style Tabasco Sauce in one of his many YouTube videos. He also has an affinity for drinking 20 year old bottles of Chrystal Pepsi. That made him vomit too.

He got sick several minutes later. I have never seen such violent vomiting in my life. He posted an ‘after’ photo of himself on his facebook page and he looked REALLY bad. He was pale and his eyes were glassy. He looked like he was on the verge of death. I’m not kidding.

Thank god he threw up.

Went to the deli counter today for some sliced turkey. The only employee is a meat cutter who had been absent 2-3 weeks. He looked half dead. He said it was first day back from hospitalization.

His dog got fleas, he got fleas, he got TYPHUS from the fleas. He said he was nearly dead at some points.

He didn’t look like he had enough energy to be working, even at the slow-pace things were going at that time.

Personally, I ain’t eating the turkey. lol.

He’s still making videos. He ain’t dead yet,lol.

He’s also a competitive eater so he’s used to abusing his stomach. He’s 30 but if he keeps this up he won’t live to see 40.

Typhus?! Holy crap!

I don’t blame you for avoiding the turkey. I wouldn’t have eaten it either.

Should probably read:

[burps happily, during which a 3-foot long gout of flame shoots out his mouth, asks for seconds]

I’ve had gastritis and that hurts like holy hell. Anyone who drinks hot sauce and participates in eating contests is crazy.

The stomach can only take so much abuse.

That’s why you should never burp angrily. You could hurt someone.

Just a pair of Smartassed idiots out to make a name for themselves.
Guess they didn't get out much when they went to University, everybody knows that if the owner is issuing a warning you don't attempt to be a hero.
Our local does a beast called the White Shark, they aren't joking either, this thing has teeth. Horseradish and mustard. The first bite is lovely.....
Well that is a serious endorsement against their man cards,admitting defeat by Burger to the Worlds media...Sheeesh. Should have stayed on the Chips and Cheese.

My favourite costs 3 quid ,it fills you to bursting point and rips out your respiratory system as an after thought ,with chili and garlic.
