I once participated in the German Hot Food Competition, it started off with having to eat a whole Bhut Jolokia chili pure and only got worse from there.

It was several teams from different German cities, five people per team. Don’t remember how many teams exactly, but at least eight. I got 9th in the solo ranking but we won the team title.

So I participated a bit longer ago, the hottest pepper extract available at the time was called “The Source” rated at 7.1 million Scoville. To put that into perspective, Carolina Reaper peppers, depending on how well they’re grown, can reach 2.5 million Scoville.
I quit when they served a lemon sorbet with a large amount of that in it - which was the most sadist thing they could come up with in my opinion. Imagine you’re in a lot of pain from having suffered through all the enormously hot rounds before that one, and then they serve you something icy cold, which you are desperately longing for, but you also know it will inflict immense pain.
It’s like throwing a drowning man a barbed wire rescue rope.
