Canadian Man Breaks Record For Eating 25 Carolina Reaper Peppers In Under 5 Minutes
A Canadian man has broken the Guinness World Record for eating 25 Carolina Reaper Peppers in under 5 minutes. Clearly, he likes spicy food!
I can’t imagine what his insides must have been going through. This sounds like it had to have been unpleasant going in, and you have to believe it was incredibly unpleasant on its way out. Ouch. Mike Jack, a Canadian YouTuber with a high tolerance for spicy food, is the man who broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest time to eat 25 Carolina Reaper Chili Peppers. It happened at Goatfest in Kitchener, Ontario, according to UPI. How hot are those Carolina Reapers? They have a Scoville Heat Unit of roughly 1,641,183 and you can compare that to the average jalapeno which has around 4,000-8,500 Scoville Units. That sounds insanely hot. According to UPI, they were considered the hottest pepper in the world until the debut of Pepper X last year.
Watch him take on the feat here. It looks like he’s in some serious pain!
Canadian Man Sets Record For Eating 25 Carolina Reaper Peppers In Under 5 Minutes
Ouch! I can’t even imagine how hot that would have been. He’s used to eating stuff like that and it even looks like he was struggling with it! Thinking about the average person trying just one? It hurts to think about.
He accomplished it in 4 minutes and 36 seconds. He had time to spare! This cannot be good for his insides, it just can’t be.
5 Best Fast Food Items On The Value Menu
Today, there are seemingly unlimited options in the fast food landscape. You have options for burgers, chicken sandwiches, tacos, and more. Anything you want you can have. When you’re on-the-go and looking for a quick bite, there’s nothing better than the value menu. Every fast food restaurant has one. Here are the best fast food items on the value menu.
We all know that fast food is appealing because of its low price and easy access. With prices for combos on the rise, I find myself looking at the value menu more often than ever before. I need to save where I can!

Best Of The Best
I have spent so much time in drive-thrus that I think I could be considered an expert witness in a court case, at this point. I’ve seen delicious items come and go, prices climb, and experiences all the promos and deals. Why did KFC get rid of the Twister? When will McDonald’s bring back the famous Snack Wraps? These are all questions I ask every day, and sadly have no answers for. However, one day…we will get them back. I truly believe it in my heart of hearts.
I could go on and on about my love for the value menu. I’d say at least once a week I think back on my high school days when the Junior Bacon Cheeseburger from Wendy’s was only 99 cents. Do you remember that? 99 cents! It was amazing. Now, the price for one JBC is closer to $3 than it is 99 cents. I feel like this is the new version of that old “back in my day, we’d walk 2 miles to school up hill both ways! stories your grandparents would tell. Now, these stories are all about how low the value menu prices were back in our day. “When I was your age, every item on the dollar menu was a dollar!”
After years of research, I’ve finally identified the best of the best when it comes to value menus. On this list, you’ll find burgers, chicken sandwiches, tacos, and even some items that fall into the ‘miscellaneous’ category. Without further delay, let’s get to the list!
The 5 Best Fast Food Items On The Value Menu

Junior Bacon Cheeseburger (JBC) - Wendy's
Bacon…mayo…crispy lettuce…what’s not to love? It’s one of the best sandwiches in fast food, and it’s on the value menu.
McChicken - McDonald's
It never misses. Of all the value menu chicken sandwiches, none are better than the McChicken.

McDonald’s has announced it will make changes to its low-priced Dollar Menu, which includes items like coffee, small fries, hamburgers and apple pies. The new menu, dubbed the Dollar Menu and More, will offer some higher priced options such as the grilled Onion Cheddar Burger and a McChicken sandwich.

Whopper Jr. - Burger King
It’s actually an impressive size! I mean, have you seen the size of the OG Whopper? It lives up to its name, that’s for sure. The Jr. works perfectly fine for me.
Spicy Potato Soft Taco - Taco Bell
It’s delicious and it’s only a dollar. Remember when value menus used to be dollar menus? *audible sigh* I do. Taco Bell is keeping the tradition alive.
Cheese Curds - Culver's
It’s a rare treat to enjoy Culver’s Cheese Curds. It’s a rare treat to enjoy cheese curds, at all. You can get fries anywhere, but you can’t get curds at every drive-thru. If I drive by a Culver’s I have to stop and get some.
