What an idiot! Bet he doesn't have an "exit strategy" either.

Wow, you can really see the sweat on his face. You have to give him credit for not swearing. If that was me there'd be nothing but a stream of obscenities coming out of my mouth.

Not to be eaten raw EVER! Cooking them into a dish is great though. I've never used this one, but I make a habanero chicken curry that's to DIE for. I only need two of them to make enough for 5 or 6 folks to get lit up.

I like habanero salsa... but it hurts.. with habanero and some super hot thai foods I get locked in a fast eating loop. Really do get a buzz off it that is out of body almost.

That must be it, DC. The buzz coming off the endorphine rush keeps you eating it even though you're in extreme pain already. My husband lovingly sings Cash's Ring of Fire the next day.

The pepper he's eating is the Naga Jolokia (called "Bhut Jolokia" in this video). For those of you who are familiar with the Habanero, this is up to 10x hotter.

I'd eat it. And I'd film it too. But I wouldn't put it up on the sift, thats for someone else to do.

I thought Anthony Kiedis was the hottest Pepper!

Considering that thing is about 125x hotter than classic tobasco sauce I am impressed he lasted that long without having to get off camera.

Raw habanero after a few minutes to grow in heat tastes and feels a lot like acid reflux in your mouth. This thing must be like catching battery acid on fire and drinking it.

Since this video now sits on every page as #2 in the top 20, it's probably time to fix the spelling. Chile is a country. Chili is a pepper.

I know the feeling...I have eaten an entire habanero...bit it off at the stem. I wanted to die for about 15 minutes. Took half a gallon of milk, drinking it slowly.

wazant: The word chili originates from the original spanish, chile. But it's really a regional thing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chili_pepper

As far as chile pepper aficionados are concerned, the chile is the fruit. In other words, chile powder is ground chile peppers while chili powder is considered a concoction of powdered chile peppers, garlic, spices, etc. which is used to make some damn fine chili.

my brother (dignant pink) once ate a full habanero pepper down to the stem. in his moment of suffering, he cradled his tear-stained head in his (unknowingly) juice-soaked hands. he claims he felt like he got maced in the face and had to claw his way blindly into the bathroom to wash his eyes out. this was all taking place at school.

Feeling like he got maced in the face would make sense, considering the "hot" in a habanero comes from capsaicin, the same active ingredient in, well...pepper spray.

Hmmm, i only have some really basic knowledge of peppers and the scoville scale, but in my opinion this never ever was a 1 million pepper. We experimented with differend peppers and sauces, up to 500,000 scoville. But even for people used to really hot food 500,000 scoville is real pain. We used toothpicks to dip in the sauce and cut really small pieces from the peppers (Habanero). Some of us weren't able to talk anymore. And this "regular" guy bites of a huge chunk of a 1mio sco pepper and still goes on babbling? I don't think so.

btw: wikipedia tells that this pepper greatly loses heat just by location. even from indian region to indian region it loses 50%. So i doubt that these guys were able to grow 1mio sco peppers in the US...

But as always i'm open for correction ;-)
