It took just 33.15 seconds for Gregory Foster to eat ten of the hottest peppers in the world. The hot sauce maker from San Diego nabbed the Guinness World Record by swallowing the Carolina Reaper peppers in record time on September 17, but was announced this week by Guinness.
… Asked how it felt, the 48-year-old, who grows his own peppers through his company Inferno Farms, said: “Like you’ve opened your mouth and instead of taking a drink from a fire hose, you’re taking a drink from a flamethrower.” He also compares it to eating “liquid lava” or “a lit charcoal briquette.”
