    How much milk is going to extinguish a single Gummy Bear that spicy?

    Let’s have a Lil’ Nitro Gummy Bear eating contest. Now that would be interesting.

    Coffee grounds are useful in feeding the soil & if spread around the base of plants deter crawling bugs. As for chillies, I grow them and eat several every day. The hotter the better.

    Enough about the hot dog eating contest. I’ve never seen it up close, and most likely never will.

    Takeru Kobayashi used to be Joey’s main competition, but he quit the Nathan’s hot dog contest because the organization insisted that everybody sign an exclusivity agreement. Takeru refused to.

    I’m glad that turned out to be buns instead of bung.

    Most jalapenos are 5,000 SCU or less, not 10,000.

    Since pure capsaicin ranks 15,000,000 Scoville Heat Units [SHU], makes that single gummy bear roughly 60% pure.

    I happen to belong to a group that enjoy growing and eating the “super hot” peppers, Currently the hottest recognized pepper in the world is the Carolina Reaper at an average of 1.5 million SHU meaning that one little candy is 6 times hotter

    The local ballpark has nachos and jalapenos. They go good together.

    Food eating competitions are an obscene waste of food.

    Go ahead, take a video of that guy shoving hot dogs down his gullet to a third world country and show it to some starving people and see how impressed they’ll be.

    Nicotine serves the same purpose in the tobacco plant.
