CAROLINA REAPER CHAMPION

I like certain foods to have a little kick like BBQ, Asian and Mexican cuisine. But eating one of the world’s hottest peppers isn’t very high on my list of things to do. In fact, it’s not even on my list. It’s called a Carolina Reaper pepper. A guy from New York, however, didn’t just eat one Carolina Reaper. He ate 22…IN 60 SECONDS. Then he had to stand for one minute after that without puking or drinking anything. He set a new Guinness World Record for eating Carolina Reapers for 2015. Check out this amazing feat here. Then share this page on social media.
