The kid asked me to, he likes spicy food.

    I once did something like that to myself. Not satisfied with the tame spiciness of jalapenos on pizza, I decided to put a bhut jolokia (aka ghost pepper) on one. That was a profoundly dumb idea.

    I was blinded by the need for spice and suffered twice.

      I too did something similar years ago but with a hot sauce I believe was intended as a cooking additive (mad dog 357). Slightly inebriated me decided that I should drench that pizza in it.

      That was a mistake.

      First was the stupid amount of heat I’d just crammed into my mouth. The heat kept building endlessly until I hit a sorta euphoria and then immediately I get stomach cramps like nothing I’d ever experienced. I think I might have actually passed out for a bit following that

      2/10, probably wouldn’t repeat

      Edit: just looked that hot sauce up, it’s double the scoville rating of Da Bomb: Beyond Insanity
