Surviving Flamin’ Joe’s Challenge

In other kid-bragging news, Super Sub Cindy writes of 20YO son, Alex, who conquered the Flamin' Joe's Code Red challenge. Egged on by the swing-shift crew from GU, he consumed 12 of Flamin Joe's spiciest wings in under 4 minutes without water, other food or condiments. He's pic's on the wall at Flamin' Joe's on the South Hill and he got a t-shirt. Was it worth it? Said Alex, "My whole body went numb for awhile."

Question: What's the spiciest thing you've ever eaten?
