Canadian performer Michael Jack pushed his limits again by consuming a record-breaking 135 peppers in one sitting. The feat was reported by a Canadian media outlet, and it quickly drew attention from spicy food fans around North America. Jack began with 50 Carolina Reapers, widely recognized for their fierce heat and listed in many records as among the hottest peppers in the world. He completed that first stretch in 6 minutes and 49.2 seconds, then pressed on to finish with an additional 85 peppers. On average, he completed each pepper in roughly eight seconds, a pace that left little room for hesitation.
“The first pepper is the scariest. The second one isn’t as intimidating, but the effect intensifies with every additional bite”, Jack remarked after the challenge. He noted that despite his familiarity with spicy foods, the stomach discomfort grew as the session continued. He described severe cramps and a sensation of pressure in the abdomen that felt like being squeezed from the inside. Still, a strong will to finish the task pushed him forward, a common theme among extreme eaters who chase endurance over comfort.
Beyond this pepper-eating milestone, Jack has earned recognition for other rapid-consumption feats. He previously set a speed drinking record by finishing a bottle of hot sauce in 8.56 seconds and later consumed a liter of tomato sauce in 1 minute and 5.56 seconds. In a lighter moment, he teamed up with his wife to break a quirky record by kissing a Habanero pepper and then sharing a kiss that lasted 15 minutes and 6.5 seconds.
Earlier coverage mentioned a public figure’s daughter undergoing weight loss, illustrating how dramatic health and body-shape stories often intersect with bold, high-profile stunts in the media landscape. These narratives contribute to the ongoing conversation about extreme eating challenges, personal endurance, and the ways communities celebrate unusual achievements. Guard notes and other outlets have tracked such feats from multiple angles, highlighting both the spectacle and the personal toll involved.
