THIS 4,000,000 SCOVILLE SPICY NOODLE CHALLENGE HAS BEEN FAILED OVER 300 TIMES! | BeardMeatsFood

In today's episode we're in Nashville, TN for a spicy ramen challenge so brutally spicy, over 300 people have failed to finish it...
Shokku Ramen's 'Shinigami Challenge' consists of one huge bowl of ramen noodles, topped with fried chicken, char sui pork, eggs and a bunch of other toppings. If it wasn't tough enough to finish all that inside eight minutes already, then dousing it all in broth measuring 4,000,000 SHU should do it. Fail and it costs $50. Win and you get the meal free and a spot on their 'Wall of Warriors'.

Yeah, this bowl wasn’t super… It’s been a while since I did a spicy challenge, so when I heard the spiciest bowl of ramen in America was only a few miles down the road in Nashville, I thought I’d give it the old college try. I hope you enjoy it and I’ll catch you next Sunday for the next episode…which has nothing spicy in it whatsoever…just the way I likes it! Oh, and if you’re watching the game tonight, do me proud…dessert menu…bare minimum ;)

Pure capsaicin is 16mil. Pepper spray is usually around 2 million. One of the hottest natural hot sauces (the Last Dab) is around 1-2 million scoville. There's no way that this ramen is even close to 4 million. That would literally mean, that 1/4 of the volume of that ramen is pure capsaicin.

[@krzysztof_jablonski]

​@@LordBhorak my thoughts exactly. 4M scoville is pretty much now viable at this quantities. Think about how much that would even cost. There's this hot sauce MadDog 44 Magnum rated at 4 million scoville. It's $47 per 1.7 fl oz. If only the 36 oz broth was made of ~21 bottles of the Mad Dog, the dish would already scratch $1000 per serving. Pure capsaicin extracts are even more expensive. I found an offer of 1.7ml (~0.0575 fl oz.) for $39 (or $25 at sale right now). To spice 36 oz of broth up to 4 M scoville one would need 157 such bottles, that's way over $6000 for one bowl of broth alone. And money aside - I don't think it would be possible to breathe in a room where 36 oz of 4M scoville beverage was warmed up.

For some of these challenges, you need a local fan to go in and order on your behalf, then you can pop in once they present the food. That might prevent the shenanigans they pull. This challenge is normally much smaller. And I wouldn't be surprised if they dosed it with extra heat, too.

You could just tell by his attitude and demeanor that he wasn't going to be able to pull it off. I just felt so bad for him because I know that he hates spicy challenges and usually avoids them. I wanted him to win so SO badly, and I was cheering him on till the end, hoping that he'd pull through in the end...but alas, that challenge was just nigh on impossible, even for the legendary Beard! I know that challenge are not meant to be easy, but there's a point where it's just ridiculous and pointless. It would take someone not only with a serious heat tolerance AND who can also eat at a decent competitive level. But the restaurant is in hard place now, because if they make the challenge easier, than all those 300+ people who tried it will probably complain and say it's unfair. Personally I think the best thing the restaurant could do, is either turn this challenge into a "who ever can finish it"without a time limit (who even came up the original 8min time limit? It seems so arbitrary and random) and than after someone does do it, make it so whoever can beat there time wins, or just split the original challenge into two separate challenges one spicy and one not spicy (maybe alter the time and amount of food to still make it challenging), .

Just a little correction on shinigami from the noodle guys: Shinigami doesn't mean "demon slayer" but rather God of Death (little more intimidating, yeah?) Comes from the combination of Shi (death) and Kami (god). Fun fact - Shi also translates to the number "4" (though it uses different kanji) which is why there are many negative superstitions around that number in Japanese culture.
