Spicey Food: The Atomic Kick Ass Challenge

[listopencil]

Muhammad Karim—the cook at Bindi Restaurant, in Lincolnshire, England—is the inventor of the Atomic Kick Ass Drumsticks. He has to wear a gas mask when he prepares the sauce to stop the vapors getting into his nose. Inhalation of those vapors can cause facial paralyses or even death by asphyxia.

The sauce contains two of the spiciest chillies in the world—including the Carolina Reaper which hits 1,569,300 on the Scoville heat measurement scale.

If you think you can handle spicy the restaurant offers the "Atomic Kick Ass Challenge", for the chance to win £100, $168. All you have to do is eat 10 drumsticks covered in sauce in less than 15 minutes. Only 20 people have taken the challenge so far, and the record currently stands at 2 drumsticks.

It becomes an actual physical addiction. Capsaicin causes your body to think that your mouth is physically on fire, so it also releases a flood of endorphins. Endorphins are your body's natural pain defense, and gives you a happy high feeling. It also releases lots of dopamine, which is another happy reward sensation. It's that sensation that you get addicted to. It makes you physically happy. You get great joy and pleasure from the reaction your body has to it. No different than crack.

IIRC very hot foods cause pleasurable chemicals to be released in your brain.

There's 2 reasons I don't use it.

1. I don't want to break that bad ass seal and
2. There's a sticker on the plastic case it came in that says "WARNING! This is NOT a sauce, it is an ingredient. 1 teaspoon of Blair's 2am Reserve to 1 gallon of sauce produces EXTREME heat."

I freaking LOVE the Atomic Wings at Wingstop.

I opened my bottle and dipped a Cheeto in it. It doesn't play around

I have a love/hate relationship with stuff like this. I have to will myself not to collect things.

The cook in this video seems like a douchebag. Spooning up the sauce? That is really weak. It's not like the guy wiped the drumsticks off or anything. You cover the legs in sauce and then move them to the serving plate.

Making him take back what he said about being able to take down 10 wings? Pretty pathetic.

Yep that is what I was thinking. D bag. Surprised he didn't make him lick the plate clean to win.
