A London food blogger claims he went temporarily deaf after eating the "world's spiciest noodles".
Ben Sumadiwiria, 22, tried "death noodles" Indomie Abang Adek at a backstreet restaurant in Indonesia.
The dish is claimed to be 4,000 times stronger than Tabasco and has a 20 million rating on the Scoville scale, the measure of a chilli’s hotness.
The video, uploaded to Mr Sumadiwiria’s Awesome Eats YouTube channel, has now been watched over a million times. It shows him immediately starting to suffer, becoming sweaty, red-faced and grimacing in pain, before complaining that he can’t hear.
“That’s the worst feeling you will ever have in your life,” he says.
“I can’t hear anything, I’m deaf.
“Of all the feelings I have ever had in my life this is the worst.”
Mr Sumadiwiria, who drank numerous glasses of water and milkshake to cool his mouth down, claimed that almost everyone throws up after eating the noodles.
Other videos on his channel include drinking cobra blood and a spicy chicken wing challenge.
