Whyyyyyyyyyy

Apparently it's to break a record, but that doesn't really answer the question of why tho

Guinness stopped recording some records, apparently, because of the increasing health risk in trying to break those records.

If this is a Guinness record he's challenging, I can't see that as a long-term thing.

News headlines next week:

“Guy dies after eating 135 Carolina reapers.”

Or

“Guy had 135 Carolina reapers surgically removed..”

Seriously, I hope he’s ok.

Nah, you can see how he puts his left hand over his mouth after each one, he's hiding them all in a fake plastic thumb. No but seriously either this guy's somehow coated his entire digestive system with some kind of protective lining or he's gonna suffer a very painful death. I wouldn't want to be his sphincter the day after this

I mean, they don't even look like real food they're so red.

I like hot food but I got some sauce that is made from Carolina reapers. We make chilli con carne for the family but feed the kids first before adding the sauce. I literally put a table spoon in and that's more than enough. It's crazy just how hot it is. I really have no idea how people can stomach a whole chilli.

He must be a bird.

Does anyone know where he was born???? The reason I ask is that this seems more like the lack of clarity that an American might have.

Ouch. I hope his stomach is okay, I have to imagine the pain is intense.
