You Have to See This Kid Eat a Ghost Pepper for $20

By Alex Hawkins at Spoon University

If you are one of the brave souls that have tried (or even enjoy) eating ghost peppers, you know how hot they are.

Officially known as bhut jolokia, ghost peppers are thought to have originated in India and are apparently 400 times spicier than jalepeños. Recently, the Guinness Book of World Records rated the ghost pepper as the seventh hottest pepper in the world. #hotdamn

Maybe this kid should have asked for more than $20 after he chose to swallow the pepper instead of chewing it and spitting it out. Headphones are advised if young children are in hearing range.

We first see the kid contemplate whether or not to even put the pepper in his mouth.

He immediately regrets his decision… and then swallows it.

The screaming begins.

He desperately tries to jump the pain away.

And then questions all of his life decisions.

He then proceeds to stuff his rightfully claimed $20 into his pockets while simultaneously trying to drink the pain away.

And then realizes water isn’t doing anything.

Poor guy thinks paper towels will help.

They don’t.

Congrats, man, you did it. You completed the ghost pepper challenge.
