The Most Insane Sriracha Challenge Video
If you have ever listened to our show, then you know, I have an affinity for Sriracha. Like most of us I had never heard of it until maybe 10…
CHICAGO, IL – DECEMBER 12: Bottles of Sriracha hot chili sauce are shown on December 12, 2013 in Chicago, Illinois. Huy Fong Foods, the maker of Sriracha, says it can’t ship any more of its sauce until next month because in California, where the sauce is produced, the Department of Public Health is now enforcing stricter guidelines that require sauces be held for 35 days before they are shipped.

If you have ever listened to our show, then you know, I have an affinity for Sriracha. Like most of us I had never heard of it until maybe 10 years ago when somebody suggested it as a nice spicy topping. I found it to be a good alternative to the other hot sauces that I was familiar with at the time.
One thing that you quickly learned about Sriracha is, that a little goes a long way. I like to squirt a little bit into my chili, if it isn’t quite hot enough. I also like to squirt some on my eggs and omelettes. Sriracha always gives your food that extra spicy bite.
Of course you have to understand that if you use too much of it, it will take over all of the other tastes in the food. All you will taste is a burning sensation that is not as pleasurable as it could be.
That is not to mention what it must feel like as the food exits your body. I am always amazed at the people that can take on a hot food challenge and win, heck I’m impressed if they can actually survive.
I would rather opt for eating a more quantity based food challenge than a hot one. For instance, a nice ice cream bowl challenge, where you have to eat 5 pounds of ice cream sounds fun.
The craziest hot food challenge?
A guy from Canada broke a world record by eating almost two-and-a-half pounds of Sriracha in three minutes. If you REALLY like hot sauce, it might not be too hard to chug it. But the rules said he had to eat it with a teaspoon.
He said he wasn't too worried about it destroying his digestive tract. He loves hot stuff and said he's "never experienced BURN-BUTT before."
