It has been months of awaiting entries and giving opportunities, but, I've finally closed the SUPER-HOT PEPPER CHALLENGE. I've sorted through the entries and awarded some special awards to the entrants, but, in the end, there can be only one WINNER.
All entrants are free to take their reward home with them and use it as they see fit.
HERE ARE THE AWARDS:
@anotherjoe got the REPEAT OFFENDER AWARD for submitting multiple entries.
@gardenofeden relieved the GROUP EFFORT AWARD for having multiple users all enter together.
@pulpably was awarded the KEEPING CALM AWARD for keeping her cool.
@timbo received the ORIGINAL ENTRY AWARD because he decided to smoke some Carolina Reaper.
@merej99 got the SILENT SCREAMS AWARD for eating her peppers after everyone else went to bed and allowing them to remain sleeping.
THE WINNER...
THE GRAND CHAMPION...
THE ONE WHO WINS THE STEEM...
@matthwtiii
The winner is @matthewtiii, although, I'm not sure what happened to him. He moved out of South Carolina for many reasons, and posted a month ago that he was still alive. There seems to have been no activity in his account since 24 days ago. We had previously talked by phone, but I'm not sure if I still have his number...
As fun as it may be to see other people that you know on steemit suffering through eating some super-hot peppers, perhaps you feel bad that you missed out. If you would like, I'll mail some of my home-grown Carolina Reapers and Ghost Peppers (for free) to anyone with a valid US shipping address, and you can record yourself eating some.
I wouldn't want any newcomers to steemit to miss out on all the pain... er, I mean FUN!!!
Let me know if you are interested, and I'll start the prize pack at 20 STEEM plus a BIGFOOT T-shirt, like the one that @theprophet0 just got in the mail!
I'll transfer 20 STEEM to @matthewtiii for winning the first contest, and I'll split the STEEM payout from this post between @matthewtiii and our next winner, if anyone else wants to enter...
If you are considering entering, here is a word from the wise... well, from our GRAND CHAMPION anyway.
You can let me know if you are interested here, and then private message papa-pepper your valid US shipping address on https://steemit.chat and I'll get you the goods. Once you receive the peppers, just record yourself eating them after you mention "the Super-Hot Pepper Challenge" and record your video for at least two minutes after you eat them (for maximum effect).
Not in the US?
Find the nastiest and hottest pepper in your country and record yourself eating it.
Tag all entries in #papa-pepper and #hotpepperchallenge and send me the link.
Congrats to all that entered, and best wishes to any who may!
