10 Nightmarishly Disgusting Foods You'd Definitely Be Way Too Chicken To Try

6. Trinidad Moruga Scorpion

In 2012 the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion chilli was crowned the new hottest chilli in the world and naturally, chilli enthusiasts all over the world were desperate to try it, either to prove themselves or to prank their friends. Approach with caution though, anyone crazy enough to bite in to those little balls of fire will probably regret it. Research indicates that the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion chilli is around as spicy as 400 jalapeños combined, and will actually cause the mouth and throat to blister when eaten whole. It would take as long as one or two days for the mouth to feel normal again. The crazy fool who dares to eat the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion would experience this alongside all the usual reactions to extreme spiciness (hiccups, sweating, a burning mouth.) What makes it truly scary is that just over a kilo of the pepper would cause enough stomach inflammation to kill someone and it contains the same amount of capsaicin (the chemical compound in peppers that makes them burn) as actual pepper spray. So that should give you a pretty clear idea of what it would be like to eat one. If you're still curious about what it would be like to eat one of these bad boys, go type "Trinidad Moruga Scorpion" into YouTube, sit back, and get ready to cringe.
