The XXX Hot Chili Burger at Burger Off in Hove, England, is so spicy that patrons are required to sign a waiver and be at least 18 years old in order to try one.
This may sound unnecessarily dramatic. Yet, for a burger that has already sent five people to the hospital, these restauranteurs have a reason to play it safe.
The XXX Hot Chili Burger uses a chili sauce that measures 9.2 million on the Scoville scale, enough to make you scream bloody murder and beg for mercy. The average chili pepper measures at 500 on the same scale.
The waiver signed by patrons who dare to try the XXX Hot Chili Burger absolves the burger joint from any liability.
