Dave: Charity Challenge – Eat 5 Chilis
This one has been a while coming. I did the challenge back in Ao Nang (I think?) in Thailand, but haven’t had decent enough internet, or time, since then to upload it, but here it is!
The challenge was this “Somewhere in SE Asia (not sure what countries you are going through), possibly Thailand or Vietnam, in a restaurant you are eating in, ask the waiter to ask the kitchen to provide you with 5 green chillies. I will give you $20 for each chilli you manage to swallow (and not throw back up or spit out). You have to at least take a bite of each one and not swallow them whole. Instead of photos, I want video footage from you asking for the chillies to you finishing them.”
Natalie, I’m not sure if we can be friends any more!

You are a champion Dave!!! I will give you a bonus $20 for that effort.
How were you the next day? Painful I bet!
Bet you are wishing you did my first challenge now! Oh and I am sure you want to know that I hate spicy food and don’t eat chilli in any shape or form!
Nice work!
