Man V. Food Challenges That Went Very Wrong

[@MashedFood]

Do you think you could have beaten any of the challenges on "Man v. Food?"

[@Batmandabomb]

No

[@StephanHoude]

Probably could have done the oyster one no issue at all

[@melissacooper8724]

[@UmbrellaWatch]

I remember and saw that also.. Said the same thing.

[@SilverSpectre266]

I remember the Munchies episode and all that was caught on camera too. They even caught the audio of the owner telling the cook to dump the sauce in

[@marshallhomi5988]

You do know this dude has never won an actual eating competition, he only has "beat" food challenges on the show. Look at other professional food eaters. This guy is also a pedophile.

[@fletchbundy]

Wait, so the producers knew he was being screwed?

[@SilverSpectre266]

@fletchbundy If I recall, and they've also talked about this in numerous other interviews, because this episode was covered a lot for how infamous it was, the director for this episode was new and didn't know he was allowed to interfere. The producers usually would set up obstacles anyway, and as far as he knew he was supposed to stay in the background. So I think I remember him saying that he thought it was just another thing they set up for the sake of the show until he found out that wasn't the case and the owner just went rogue.

[@fletchbundy]

@@SilverSpectre266 Thank you. That makes a lot of sense.

[@TrevorPhillips1969]

Munchies owner should be ashamed of himself and needed to realize that that much extract could have killed someone. That stuff is very potent, and you don't screw around with it. That guy should have been sued.

[@aceisking]

Agreed

[@jessiejamesferruolo]

Spicy foods cant kill you man. It can hurt like crazy and you can pay for it twice, if ya know what i mean😅 But they definitely can't kill you unless you have some sort of medical issue or allergy.

[@Nopee906]

​@jessiejamesferruolo they definitely can. A teen died doing the one chip challenge. Spicy foods can cause ulcers, too, which alone aren't deadly but can be serious. Gotta be careful with spicy good. Common sense????.

[@hioxd]

He signed a waiver though

[@Longshot3181]

@hioxd yea, but they still cheated him, though. That waiver doesn't mean shit when the restaurant is cheating by putting way capsaicin more than what they were supposed to. They literally cheated him. People can die from consuming too hot of a spice.

[@timwodzynski7234]

[@culture4519]

eating huge amounts of food with a crowd staring at you sounds like one of the circles of hell :/

[@BooboosANDBloodshed_95]

How did Munchies not get sued after doing that to Adam?

[@TacticsOfTorture]

Because they didn’t do anything wrong. Capsaicin (the oil in peppers that causes the reaction in your mouth) isn’t deadly and can’t actually hurt you unless you’ve got an allergy to nightshades or an undiagnosed aneurysm. As a matter of fact, there are health Benefits to consuming it. This fat douche reacted this way to it because he was on camera and wanted to seem cool to his fans. I wouldn’t have thought any less of him if he had just admitted that it was too hot for him. Ghost peppers hurt to eat if you’re not used to it.

I enjoyed watching Adam in that show so much, but I am glad that he moved on. He has talked about what that show did to him. One thing that sticks out is him saying he ran stairs for 2 hours one day as just one of his workouts. And that was to maintain his heavy physique. He hated it. I think he only ate once a day too.

When I see powdered extremely hot spice, I don't want to see the challenge. Use real peppers or simply don't do the challenge. Extremely hot powders are a cheat for the restaurant to win. Some of the very hot powdered wings, as well as other very hot powder covered foods, I've seen on these channels, are just awful. I think, if you are so determined to use a very hot powder, you should cover it with something like honey or butter, and cook it into the food. Extremely hot powdered challenges are the absolute pits. A self respecting restaurant would simply refuse to do them. Use real peppers first off or if you do use very hot powders, cook them in or simply don't use very hot powders. Much respect to Adam and Casey.
