As more people live life to the hottest, we see more sides to the chili head community.
Most heat seekers are gorgeous – inside and out. But there are some weirdos out there. (Yeah, we have to admit it.)
Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve seen some really wacky stories coming from the chili head community. You probably caught a few of them, but we’ve still pulled together the good, the bad, and the ugly.
The Good
Chili peppers and hot sauce do a lot of good. Capsaicin cures headaches and appears to have the power to kill cancerous cells. It’s also good for a few laughs. And this article, posted on Cilisos, has to be one of the funniest things we’ve ever seen. It is written in a mix of English and local Malaysian dialect, which means that you’ll only understand half of what’s written. More importantly, the article features the super wacky ideas people have about removing the burn from chili. (Some solutions are enough to make you gag.) This is something you truly have to see.
The Bad
Heard about the Bacon-Jalapeño Mac and Cheese incident yet? In case you missed it, a 19-year-old student walked into a cafeteria on a college campus and started demanding some f***ing Bacon-Jalapeño Mac and Cheese. He was drunk; that’s true. And the cafeteria was out of the f***ing Mac and Cheese. That’s also true. The ridiculous actions of this guy (who, quite rightly, was arrested for the scene) are clearly bad… the worst rather. But, we have to wonder, how good must that Bacon-Jalapeño Mac and Cheese be? We also guess that the Jalapeño makes it.
The Ugly
Ahh, the world of YouTubers looking to embarrass themselves for a few minutes of viral fame. Thank goodness we live in a world where we can watch these antics on demand. Take, for example, this video of Danish twins drinking juice made from Carolina Reapers. It’s nine minutes long and not for anyone with a sensitive stomach. That’s because this video is about as ugly as capsaicin gets… it’s very far past the point of hiccups and forehead sweat.
By the time you’re done checking out the good, the bad, and the ugly in the chili head community, we can almost bet you’re going to want to tuck into some Bacon-Jalapeño Mac and Cheese doused in Mad Dog hot sauce. We don’t blame you.
