Watch: California man eats 17 ghost peppers in one minute for world record - UPI.com

Aug. 9 (UPI) -- A strong-stomached California man broke a Guinness World Record by wolfing down 17 ghost chili peppers in one minute.

Gregory Foster, who previously broke a world record by finishing three Carolina reaper chili peppers in 8.72 seconds, added another title to his name by taking on the record for most Bhut Jolokia chili peppers -- also known as ghost peppers -- eaten in one minute.

Foster downed 17 of the peppers in one minute. His intake was measured at 3.98 ounces, beating the record of 3.42 ounces, which was set by Canadian speed-eater Mike Jack in 2019.

"This record attempt is a personal challenge to see how far I can push myself and my love of the super hot peppers," Foster told Guinness World Records. "As a chili lover, I've been trying to advance the awareness and the excitement surrounding the super-hot chilies out there."

Ghost pepper - Wikipedia


The ghost pepper,[2][3] also known as bhut jolokia (which literally means ghost pepper in Assamese), is an interspecific hybrid chili pepper cultivated in Northeast India.[4][5] It is a hybrid of Capsicum chinense and Capsicum frutescens.[6]

In 2007, Guinness World Records certified that the ghost pepper was the world's hottest chili pepper, 170 times hotter than Tabasco sauce. The ghost chili is rated at more than one million Scoville Heat Units (SHUs). However, in the race to grow the hottest pepper, the ghost chili was superseded by the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T pepper in 2011 and the Carolina Reaper in 2013.[7]

Tabasco sauce is too hot for me, and these ghost peppers are 170 times hotter. And now they're coming out with even hotter peppers.

I love hot stuff. Concentrated capsaicin, however, can get pretty brutal. The highest I've seen it go to is 16,000,000 scoville units.
But what makes it so fun is as you become more used to the "burn" you can better taste what's there, and especially fascinating is because there is no burn. None at all. It's entirely the nerve endings being confused and being tricked into thinking it's something that burns, so this is the "signal" the brain receives.

Methamphetamine is still illegal in Florida, despite rumors to the contrary: Florida Man Caught Smoking Meth Told Cops, "It's Legal Now" (97x.com)

A Florida Man who was caught in the act of smoking meth told cops not to worry about it, because the laws have changed in his favor.

31-year-old Enzo Zabala-Cardozo was caught by officers in St. Petersburg with a glass pipe up to his lips, trying to light the contents inside on August 4th.

According to the arrest affidavit, Zabala-Cardozo was attempted to be talked to by police, but he began walking away after declaring "Meth is legal now." He didn't have any answers to when legislators legalized the highly addictive drug.

Well, it turns out that in the State of Florida, methamphetamine and the possession of it is still a crime, and most certainly not legal. Officers obtained the pipe, and a field test returned positive for - you guessed it - methamphetamine.

Zabala-Cardozo was busted on felony drug possession charges and a misdemeanor count of resisting police.
