The world’s spiciest hamburger, sold in Britain, is 18,000 times hotter than chili sauce. Its consumption has led some people to the emergency room.
It’s called the “XXX Hot Chilli Burger” and it’s the hottest burger in the world.

However, this story is far from funny because the experience offered by the British restaurant “Burger Off” has already led five customers to the emergency room of the nearest hospital. why actor returns to this explosive phenomenon, a real buzz on social networks like Facebook.
Only 59 out of 3000 testers passed the challenge
“A lot of people see this as a challenge,” says restaurant owner Nick Gambardella. So much so that for the moment, only 59 people out of the 3,000 who have tasted this dish have managed to finish their plate. And the latter added: “One of my clients works at the hospital. He came to tell me that the staff had met for two hours to talk about my burger and how to treat the injured. “ Indeed, the burger in question is suspected of causing in some tasters anaphylactic shock, an allergic reaction sometimes very violent, which can lead to death.
A waiver to sign for adults who taste it
And this dish is increasingly worrying local health authorities because the “XXX Hot Chili Burger” phenomenon has grown. “Some customers travel hundreds of kilometers to come,” the restaurateur told the press. “Parents even come with their children to show them the burger. ”

The Brighton restaurant that offers this on its menu is indeed asking for the signing of a waiver to its customers, who must be at least 18 years old.

I think these people are just a little crazy, ”concludes Nick Gambardella. The latter also admits that he will never taste his own XXX Hot Chili Burger.
