Chinese restaurant with plates that come loaded with dry fried Szechuan peppers.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhman
One chip challenge.

Chicken vindaloo. Asked them to make it Indian spicy and I think they were just fucking with me because I can take some heat. Took me 3 days to eat it.
frenix5
I had hot sauce rated at 4M scoville units
As far as a meal, I have a Sri Lankan friend who made dinner for our friend group and I was sweating from places I did not know I could sweat from. I had seconds.

Lamb saag, similar to another post I said make it as spicy as you can, not white boy spicy. They delivered. I was dripping in sweat but I finished it. This was a place where there’s glass on a wall so you can see them making food in the kitchen. They were all looking through it watching me eat it and laughing. I was eating and just grinning giving them a thumbs up, but I was also visually struggling

Da Bomb and it’s even worse because it tastes like shit. Spicy food is only worth it if it tastes good.

One chip challenge. taste like dirt and the burn doesn’t stop. stomach felt like I was suffering from food poisoning for hours. literally had to be next to toilet in case of explosive diarrhea

jacksraging_bileduct
A tiny bit of a homegrown Carolina reaper.

The End “hot sauce”. It wasn’t as bad as I was expecting, but I have a low tolerance so it was still not an experience I’d repeat.

Dried Carolina reaper, don’t do it, it’s not worth the stomach pain
Ohitstrent
Jay birds chicken in Sedona’s spiciest tender was so hot I had to throw it away half of it and the staff was giggling watching me even attempt to eat it
MittelscharferSenf
I think the spaciest meals were Buldak 3x and the local Indian who had the warning „(really spicy!)“ on the menu. Unfortunately I don’t remember exactly what it was. We ate all the rice and additional bread and there was still some of the main course left.
The spiciest dumbassery I’ve tried was that hot chip challenge chip. And it tasted like shit. I really don’t recommend to eat that.

Either a bite of a wing I tossed in the last dab, or a whole blazin knockout boneless wing at BWW

Jaffna Tamil food. Here is a plate from last night: pittu (streamed broken rice with coconut), dhal, pol sambol (coconut chutney), soya meat curry and cuttlefish curry.
Don’t get fooled by the brown appearance, that is 100% roasted chili powder, fried until it has a deep nutty burning hot flavour.
Had a chicken tender called the “A-BOMB”. They have it listed as a 6/5 on the heat scale.
Spiced oil bath, jalapeño, habanero, ghost, scorpion and reaper peppers.
vonKaltwasser
I think for me it has to be a fresh habanero pepper. Some of them aren’t as bad but others really pack a punch and it’s a different type of burn. Don’t think I’m ready to graduate to a ghost pepper yet.
TwistedCollossus
Easily the Tube of Terror peanuts. They fuck me up way worse than the one chip, and also actually taste good.

Howlin’ Rays has two ‘off-the-menu’ heat levels for their chicken sandwiches. I had the lower of the two, and it was a sad time, but I did it. But another nashville hot chicken place (my brother’s leftovers, he took a bite and decided it was a bad idea) gave me a full near death experience. Bathroom panic, trying to make myself throw up, close to blacking out and contemplating calling 911. Called my girlfriend who is a nurse but the feeling started to subside by the end of the conversation. I’ve cut back on novelty level heat since then.

I don’t know who made it but someone brought a spiced vodka to my friends house in an unmarked bottle.
I’ve never seen so many people have their entire nights ruined by half a shot of liquor. It was never ending dry inferno that rocked your whole face and insides. Only solution was to pass out and sleep it off.

Singapore hawkers! Yes. I haven’t been since 1992. I used to live in K.L. and visit Singapore often.

Dave’s Carolina Reaper. Did a mini hot wing challenge with some people and that was the finally. That thing hurt so good.

At Chinese hot pot my husband ordered the crazy spicy mala broth. Szechuan spicy times a hundred. The broth is deep red and full of chiles. And pain. After I cooked my meats and vegetables in that broth…I couldn’t eat them. I would take a tiny bite and my mouth would be on fire. I didn’t really eat lunch that day, haha.
GlockHolliday32
Habanero seeds and all. Nothing has come close.

A pepper I grabbed off my friend’s kitchen table from her dad’s garden. Her dad was from Trinidad. We really should have asked what that particular pepper was called before trying it. He and his wife walked in to find their daughter dry heaving into the sink screaming “what was that thing!?” And me, lying on the floor begging for milk 😂 After they finished laughing at us, they helped. I don’t remember what the pepper was called. It was small and green…and evil.

Raw reaper fresh off the plant in one big bite.
dangforgotmyaccount
This damn ramen powder mix my mom bought. While I eat spicy stuff and enjoy it, it’s nothing compared to what most of yall eat. It tasted phenomenal, but it felt like I was being sprayed with OC. Legitimately even just standing *near* the open bag would cause me to uncontrollably cough and my sinuses to go haywire. The last ingredient in it is OC, but that’s not necessarily out of the ordinary. It’s not even supposed to be spicy either, which is the strangest part. I expected some spice, sure, but not to be incapacitated by it. Such a disappointment too, it tasted great on popcorn.

Dave’s Reaper Slider, close second Jax Cafe in Minneapolis has a spicy lamb dish. Went in there drunk and somewhat smugly asked them to make it “too spicy” and it almost was lol

HotBoys Hot Hot challenge.
You have to sign like three waivers to confirm you’re crazy.
It’s a large chicken tender covered in powdered reaper. Ate it with minimal issue but the whole night after felt like I was giving birth due to the stomach cramps and flu sweats.

We had a local Thai place that actually made our meals Thai hot (IYKYK) and the food actually had me crying it was so hot. I didn’t eat anything to squash the pain because I didn’t want to damp the flavor at all. They closed down in under a year and we haven’t found another place willing to go that hot for us.
I’ve eaten sauces so spicy that I chugged milk and ate bread to calm it down, but it also wasn’t good outside of the spice, so I didn’t care about killing that flavor.
ghostnthegraveyard
Maybe not the spiciest, but most shocking.
At age 12, I thought I could handle heat because I liked Tabasco. Took a family trip to the Caribbean and brought back a bottle of hot sauce. I didn’t even know what scotch bonnet peppers were.
Got home and took one bite of pizza dunked in the stuff. My rookie ass was not prepared for that level of heat.

Buldak 3x

Ghost Pepper extract.

A whole ghost pepper

Asked the chef for Thai spicy red curry with duck. Chef obliged. All the rice and Thai ice tea in the world wouldn’t have helped with the spice. It was very good. Waitress checked in on me a few times.
WillyBluntz89
There’s a little Thai place near where I lived in my 20’s.
It was a 50/50 chance that the kitchen was being run by one of the cooks that night, or grandma.
Half the time, asking for Thai hot got me a damn spicy meal that was exactly what I was looking for.
If grandma was back there, asking for Thai hot got you something that was hot enough to melt an engine block.
Mouth would blaze, lips would ache, cheeks flushed and sweating.
That woman’s cooking was no joke. It almost felt vengeful. I miss that place dearly.

Da Bomb hot sauce from Hot Ones, tasted like death itself.

Asked a friend who owns a restaurant to mix a teaspoon of Mad Dog 357 Plutonium into the tomato paste on our pizza. She mistakenly put a tablespoon in. Only discovered this after 2 slices , which was shortly followed by another friend and I vomiting and Diarrhoea in adjacent cubicles . A waiter at the restaurant had a 1/3 of a slice and had to cut his shift short and go home. This all happened in Thailand, where people have a higher spice tolerance than normal
Cold_Series_1257
16 million crystal, insanely hot but a different burn
Howlin’ Rays with Howlin’ spice level. The tastiest, most painful, gastrointestinal destructive food I’ve ever had the pleasure of putting in my body.
It’s a blend of reaper, ghost pepper, scorpion, cayenne, etc.
I’ve done it twice and after this comment, I think I might just do it again lol. I haven’t had Howlin’ Rays in forever
Brodyaga05
Probably a whole fresh naga jolokia, about a million shu, cooked with spicier things like carolina reaper but never had the balls to just toss it down the hatch
It’s not quite as bad as getting pepper sprayed but it’s not that far off
Deep_Strategy_6860
Some chicken masala from this indian place. They asked me if I wanted it hot and I said yes and holy shit it was hot haha
RunsWithSporks
Probably Da Bomb Insanity. The real one I ordered special off Amazon because the one that comes in the Hot Ones set is not the same. We decided to not pussy out and fully coated the wing with extra, not just a small drop or dab, like a full pour.
It was terrible, you could taste the extract.
10/10 would feed to that one friend who thinks he can handle anything.
As for regular food, I can crush some lamb vindaloo like nothing, I asked for extra spicy one time, and while I did finish it, I was in more pain than pleasure.

A tablespoon of Last Dab Apollo straight.

Shut Up Juice Challenge in Cabot, Arkansas. Was in literal pain for over 10 hours 😭
Novel_Bumblebee8972
10 mil extract at the fiery food festival in New Mexico. There was a challenge. I tried the first one… dude said he’d start off with a nice mellow ghost pepper. It’s only a million. I wasn’t going to do 9 more so I said skip to the end. He told me I was stupid and gave it to me. It was so hot I was high from it. I didn’t have anything to drink other than my extra hot Bloody Mary. My lips were on fire and it was just creeping up my face.

Carolina Reaper. Took a chunky bite. Felt like a molten ball of lead was sitting in my stomach.

I ate Savage Carolina Reaper jerky once, one piece got me hiccuping for a whole 30 minutes

My friend dared the kitchen staff at a local Indian restaurant to make my food as hot as they could. It was delicious and quite hot, the cooks kept peeking around the kitchen door to take a look at the white guy eating their creation. Still not nearly as hot as the Reapers and Pepper Xs I have eaten though
