Some 18 brave souls stepped forth to see how long they could last tasting hot sauce. The winner would take home a brand new gas grill, courtesy Lowe's Home Improvement in Asheboro.
One by one, they fell - either because the heat got them or they just didn't record hot enough on the infrared camera. Then it was down to the final two. All the crowd thought the young guy dripping in sweat surely would win. Wrong. Infrared imaging indicated he lost all of his heat through his sweat - meaning the winner recorded deep, flaming red on the camera monitor.
Jason Tolbert, of Asheboro, withstood all the sauce - even the Liquid Stoopid. He reported that after he was sharing with his dad that he had won, he felt a bird drop, well you know what, on his head. So Jason went through the day getting extremely hot - had 5 gallons of cold water dumped upon him - and then got ... upon.

Hope everyone had fun during the first ever Hot Head contest measured with an infrared theromographic camera courtesy of Stockton Infrared. Eric was a technical master at making sure all of the equipment operated efficiently. Also need to thank Reliability Guru, Pete Peters for coming all of way from Oak Island, NC to judge evaluate the readings and provide impartial judging. Also need to thank again Lowes Hardware for providing the Grill, Grainger Industrial Supply for providing the consolation prizes, Chili Restaurants provided coupons for free kids meals and Lumina Wine and Beer for providing a bottle of Garnache De Fuego to the second place contestant which was actually given to his mother as he was only 19.
ReplyDeleteNumerous contestants are strategizing on how they win next year. Also several are probably regretting their decision this morning after experiencing a real "ring a fire". Liquid Stoopid provided by CaJohns was put out there for display but numerous daring contestants liberaly poured the one million Scoville units sauce on their bagels. All were notified that this was at their own risk.
What a blast to behold as the audience got to see the convergence of Stupidty and technology in action. Can't wait to host it next year!
