i did this challenge, couldn't sleep well that night but wasn't that bad while i ate it

[vempire2000]

@maneatingtoilets It gets to a level where the heat somewhat evens out...However that is at a very high scoville scale level, something like six million I have found! i.e I have eaten a whole dorset naga (about 1,000,000 shu's) and that was way way hotter on the tongue and way more painful on the stomach than a finger chilli, roughly 50,000 shu's. I have also tried to eat a burger covered in 6,000,000 shu sauce and the heat was around the same as the naga but lasted much much longer!!

Man wins because Adam is a moron lol lol

Whoah they look hot - but delicious

So, I ate about 1/4 of one of those fritters, yeah.. couldn't get any further than that. They're much hotter than you'd expect.

@maneatingtoilets the biggest factor in hotter foods is how long the burn lingers. i've eaten supposedly really hot stuff before, i got addicted to 1.5 million SHU naga hot sauce one time and i was putting it in my pasta and chili almost daily until i ran out (expensive habit, so i stopped), but it wasn't too bad because the burn didn't seem to last long and it didn't gain much intensity the more i ate it. but ive eaten milder stuff that became unbearable after a while.

man i'm hungry!

Just completed the challenge last night. Can easily say I have never felt greater pain than what felt like knives repeatedly stabbing my stomach on and off for hours. Still in pain... got my picture on the wall...not sure if it was worth it though...

I always wondered how the heat scale works. I seriously doubt that the habanero will hurt 40 times more than a jalepeno. Maybe its 40 times the scovile units, but I would guess it works on a logarithmic type scale?
