You've been good all week, reading wonky stuff about Greek debt and the Iran nuclear deal. But you made it. It's Friday.
Your reward is this: a video of a 9-year-old Scottish kid eating the world's hottest chili pepper.
The pepper in question is called the "Carolina Reaper," and it packs 1.5 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU) of body-punishing burn. (For comparison, original Tabasco measures between 2,500 and 5,000 SHUs.)
Eating a Carolina Reaper on camera is not an original idea. There are plenty of videos on YouTube of people eating the Carolina Reaper, and the folks at Buzzfeed did it just a few days ago.
What makes this video special? The ending.
Poor kid. Nothing disappears from the internet.
So there you go. Happy weekend.
