[QUOTE=Ponch8] I can’t eat jarred salsa, just because of the horrible taste. They put in extra crap like vinegar and sugar to preserve it. For me, it’s fresh salsa or nothing. [/QUOTE] Don’t forget the cilantro! Face it, it doesn’t taste like soap. All of you are being babies! ---

One NYE, I was dared to eat 30 hot peppers in 20 minutes or less. I did it. By the 10th pepper, my mouth was so numb, the rest were smooth sailing. For the next 5 days, though, it felt like my anus was constantly expanding and full of red-hot nails. ---

I say you try it with horseradish next. Not that bastardized “horseradish sauce” – I mean plain ol’ prepared horseradish. I eat it on my sandwiches regularly, and I still can only tolerate about a half tablespoon at any one time. When I get a little liberal with it, I swear my brain tries to claw its way out of my head, through my nose. ---

[/QUOTE] Nope, everything was just fine on my end. Both of them really. Although I vaguely remember a small intestinal incident in the middle of the night last night that I believe through sheer nasty fusion actually lowered the thread count on my sheets a by a few hundred or so. I’m not trying hardboiled eggs. Lord no. ---

[QUOTE=Heffalump and Roo] Seriously?! How did you do it? [/QUOTE] Don’t try to swallow it completely. Try and keep everything at the front. If it hits the back, it hits your gag reflex and you’re completely screwed. Even if you have no gag reflex, it’ll still dry your entire mouth out and your brain tells your mouth to hit the eject button. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. ---

-At a pizza place with three other friends in High School and not enough money. One friend says that he’ll eat an entire bowl of jalapenos if they’ll give us a pizza. They agreed and my friend did it. He didn’t feel well enough afterwards to enjoy any of the pizza and his ass wasn’t right for days. -Dorm contest in college between two friends. I don’t know how it started but one guy had to eat 13 tacos and the other 13 large candy bars. Both puked but I am sure that the large amount of alcohol didn’t help. ---

In high school we bet a friend he couldn’t eat an entire package of Frisk mints at once. He cursed at us for days, and didn’t get his sense of taste back for a month. Of course, this is the same guy who used to get naked on a golf course and drink oyster sauce until he vomited with another friend… ---

A couple years ago there was a TV program that had a guy chugging raw eggs. They had cracked a bunch into a beer pitcher and he went to it. Success! Then they rushed him to the hospital. He had a stroke. The program didn’t mention if the eggs were the reason, but I wondered: if you dump that much cholesterol into your system in a hurry…? ---

A friend had a penchant for ‘liquorice bootlaces’. Like [these](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Liquorice_wheels.jpg), but a much thinner string. On one of his birthdays, somebody brought a pound of the stuff. We decided to feed him it in one go, tying the strings of liquorice end to end as he was fed this continuous line of black gunk, sat unquestioning in an armchair. Yes, he finished it. Yes, he was ill. Very ill. ---
