These Twins Juiced and Drank 130 of the World's Hottest Peppers

There's a large constituency of people who consider identical twins off-putting and unsettling. Who could blame them? Fair or not, some pairs do nothing to dispel the negative wrap popular culture has laid on identical twins -- like these brothers from Denmark, who have (kind of?) made a name for themselves by eating weird stuff, and filming it for seemingly for no reason at all.

Their latest installment features the bros blending and sipping 130 of the world's hottest peppers -- the Carolina Reaper and the Trinidad moruga scorpion -- both having Scoville levels in the range of 1.5 million to 2.2 million. In layman's terms: that's really, really, really fucking hot.

As you can see, they made it out mostly unscathed, and possibly wiser. Though it's hard to call someone who drinks hot-pepper juice "wise."

Some of their potentially award winning commentary: "If this isn't hardcore, I don't know what is." "And all you kids out there, don't do it, because it's going to be hot as hell!" "That will acid the lacquer of the toilet." and of course, their post-challenge lament: "From now on the chili challenge is over. We have done what needed to be done. No more chili challenges."

Okay, so definitely wiser... and probably crapping fireballs.
