Naga Viper Pepper

A scientific study reported that if a 150 pound person ate three pounds of any extreme pepper (like the Naga Viper with it's 1,382,118 Scoville Scale rating) in powder form, it would kill them. Of course, the projectile vomiting after the first pound or so would DEFINITELY keep you from finishing the job.

Habanero Pizza

Flying Pie Pizza requires a signed waiver for anyone brave enough to order their habanero pizza. They only serve it in August because that's when habaneros are in season, but also because making it is almost as painful as eating it. The cooks have to use special gloves, eye-wear and utensils to handle the the super spicy pizza.

Hell Night Menu

Once a year in January, East Coast Grill in Cambridge, Massachusetts serves a whole menu filled with food so hot patrons must sign a waiver. Hell Nights often end with a dining room filled with retching and regret.

Cinco Chiles Burrito

SolToro’s Tequila Grill serves a massive 3 pound burrito made with poblanos, jalapenos, chipotles, serranos and habaneros. If you finish the whole thing you get a t-shirt and a week-long case of heartburn.

Kismot Killer Curry

At Kismot Indian restaurant in Edinburgh, chef Abdul Ali created what he called "a top secret nuclear strength recipe using some of the world's hottest chilies." No one has died, yet, but during one fateful Kismot Killer Curry eating competition, half of the competitors were sent to the emergency room.

XXX Hot Chili Burger

The U.K. restaurant Burger Off tops their burgers with a Piri Piri Chili Sauce that exceeds 7 million on the Scoville scale. Two journalists were sent to the hospital, after just one bite of this monster, for hyperventilating and vomiting. One of them said he thought he was going to die.

7

Ghost Pepper

This napalm bomb pepper has a Scoville Scale of 1,041,427. Ghosts might walk through walls, but a ghost pepper will walk through your throat. At a Ghost Pepper Burger eating contest in San Francisco, a 47-year-old man was sent to the hospital for a hole in his esophagus.

Blair's 3AM Reserve Hot Sauce

This sauce got its name when a bartender named Blair decided to use the spiciest wings he could concoct to get a group of drunks out of his bar in the wee hours of the morning. At 900,000 - 1,200,000 Scoville units, this is one of the hottest bottled hot sauces available. Even if you buy it online, you must sign a disclaimer.

The Carolina Reaper Pepper

This is the world's spiciest pepper. Eating this pepper has been called an "absurd risk to your health," and there is no shortage of videos on Youtube of people who have tried and failed to conquer The Reaper. A food-writer reported getting heartburn so bad after eating three of them, it felt like a heart attack.

Carolina Reaper Wings

If eating the Carolina Reaper pepper is an absurd risk to your health, then eating wings made from a concentrated sauce made from this devil pepper is a pathological death wish! Pubs serving the wings require you be sober, sign a waiver and wear gloves and goggles.
