Wing Kingz, a restaurant in Canterbury, Kent, UK, has introduced a super spicy challenge called “Earn Your Wingz.” In this challenge, brave souls must eat 15 chicken wings coated in a sauce made with Carolina Reaper peppers, known for being extremely hot.
But before taking on this fiery task, participants have to sign a waiver. This waiver is a special document that says they understand the risks involved in eating something as spicy as the Carolina Reaper. It’s to make sure both the restaurant and the person eating the wings are protected.
The waiver, which is signed by the UK restaurant, says things like, “I understand that by doing this challenge, there’s a chance I could get hurt or sick, or even worse.” It also says that the person doing the challenge can’t blame the restaurant or its employees if something goes wrong.
The challenge itself is like a race. People have to finish all 15 wings in just 10 minutes. After that, they get a 5-minute break to see how their body handles the heat.
If someone manages to finish the challenge, they get a free meal and their picture goes up on the restaurant’s Hall of Fame wall. But the restaurant says most people can’t handle the heat and give up.
To make sure everyone stays safe, the restaurant gives competitors black gloves to wear while eating the wings. They also tell people not to touch their eyes after handling the spicy wings, as it can really hurt.
Overall, this challenge adds excitement to the restaurant’s menu and shows how they’re willing to try new things, as long as it’s done safely.
What is a Carolina Reaper pepper
The Carolina Reaper pepper, created by American breeder Ed Currie, is no joke. It’s super hot, reaching up to 2.2 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU). To give you an idea, it’s about 200 times hotter than a regular jalapeno pepper!
This pepper was once known as the hottest pepper in the world, holding the title from 2013 until recently when another pepper, called Pepper X, took over.
