Poll of the Day > I was bamboozled into eating a Carolina Reaper(world's hottest chili pepper).

(+) Yeah! (+)

My brother, his wife and step son showed up for a surprise visit. It was nice to finally see him again. When I stepped into my mom's place he immediately offered me a pepper, so I knew it was going to be really hot. They've been doing hot pepper challenges on YouTube, and kept saying they'd record my reaction to put on their channel, but I declined.

Every once in a while, one of them would offer it again, and declined each time. However, all 3 kept swearing it wasn't one that was too hot. That they've all eaten them and were fine. The step son said he'd eat one if me and my cousin did, and I reluctantly agreed as long as I wasn't recorded(I always get hiccups from spicy food and it's embarrassing lol).

I chewed it up, and if it got too hot I was going to spit it out. It didn't actually get too hot in my mouth, so I swallowed it. That was a mistake, pain started as soon as it landed in my stomach. They asked if I had eaten recently, and I told them I haven't eaten since yesterday and they laughed even harder saying that makes it worse. I sarcastically thanked them for the warning while eating a slice of bread hoping to ease the pain. Then they told me it was world's hottest kind, and I gave them another thanks for them lying about it not being too bad. The pain was probably on par with my regular stomach pains I get from twisted intestines sometimes, but located much higher in my stomach and chest region.

Not looking forward to it's eventual exit. >_>

hope you're feeling ok

but do keep in mind that dairy products serve as a neutralizer for spicy foods

As soon as someone says something like this you shouldn't believe a word they say and avoid consuming anything you haven't prepared yourself.

I'm fine now, it lasted for like 20 minutes or so. Neither my parents or me had any milk, so I settled for bread. My cousin grabbed a bottle of water and I told him water makes it worse, luckily he was smart enough to have spit his out. My step nephew(is that a real term?) was just fine though, not even a hiccup lol.

True, and I definitely knew it was going to be hot, but my brother doesn't really ever lie to me. And he knows I'm not too fond of spicy food, so I assumed it was just going to be a medium tier one, especially after they kept insisting it wasn't bad and the kid agreed to eat it too. It's kind of funny, but I'm still a bit annoyed at the lies and that it actually was pretty painful.

was tricked into eating a ghost pepper. wasnt so bad really.

This wouldn't have been too bad either if it didn't hurt my stomach that way. That was completely unexpected.

Poor Koga, still getting abused, you should totally prank em back, like putting tacks by their beds at night so when they wake up they're fucked or by throwing a blanket over them and hitting them in the head with a bat.

My brother said he ate a chocolate one and that he had to crawl to the car. I think I got it easy with the one I had.

Oh lord, they'll be trying those then. I don't mind if the kind I ate isn't the hottest any more though.
