I would try the Blazin' Wing Challenge at Buffalo Wild Wings as a practice run

Good Luck

One of my buddies did that. He said that he had to run water over his asshole because it was burning so much.

back when i was younger i would eat that stuff all the time and be fine. sure it hurt but nothing to major.


now BWW's medium is all i get. it still has a bit of heat and some flavor.

No, no, you coat the inside of your mouth with candle wax.

Yeah, I was wondering that too. I would never in a million years eat at a place called Quaker Steak and Lube... Well, unless I was in Kentucky.

No, no, paint thinner to remove the tastebuds.

Dammit. Why can't there be any contests like this where I am at. I am 100% sure I could do this no problem. There was a point when I was younger where I would eat habanero's raw just for the hell of it.

I bet I could 40 of those wings easily.

I'm thinking about doing it. Anyone else here done it before?

I tried a single atomic 6 years ago and while it was really really hot, I suffered no real ill effects. My friend who had half a wing spent about an hour in the bathroom though, and we had to go REAL slow in the car on our way back, no sudden movements or anything.

So should I do it? Is it one of those "if you finish you get the meal for free" kinds of things, or do you have to pay, and how much?

They give away wings?!?!?! I'm so on this.

I use Yucateca hot sauce on just about everything. Habenros don't scae me!

Two important points here...although eating habanero's for snacks is quite amazing, the ratings on these saucescan be a lot more than a habanero.

The other point is "....when I was younger". As I've grown older, my tolerance has diminished to how hot I can handle so yours might have also.

Your friend has a vagina.

Buffalo Wild Wings challenge for the win.

Yeah, mines too. I've eaten those so-called "fire" style sauces that claim to be infinite times hotter than the hottest habanero's and don't even break a sweat. It's sort of disappointing really when I hear something is hot, and I end up withstanding it easily...
