Jack ate two pounds seven ounces (about 1.1 kg) of hot sauce in just three minutes, according to the New York Post.

“A lot of people say, ‘Your butt must burn a lot after you did that challenge,’” Jack told Guinness.

“I’ve actually never experienced burn-butt before … It’s my super power, I guess.”

Good to know.

Jack used a spoon to slurp up the red sauce as quickly as possible while his wife/coach cheered him on.

In setting the new Guinness World Record, he almost quadrupled the previous world record of 300 grams.

“That’s more than I thought I would do,” he said. “I’m glad I beat this record ‘cause that was a nasty one. That was rough on the body, for sure.”

Jack says in the video that the hot sauce went down easier because he imagined it was pumpkin pie — his favourite food — and reached for the sriracha and not a sauce infused with PepperX, the world’s spiciest pepper.

His ability to endure hot foods comes from eating challenges he regularly performs on his YouTube channel, Mike Jack Eats Heat!

In a new video posted to the site, Jack eats 40 Carolina reaper peppers — the second hottest pepper on Earth after PepperX.

Among his many accomplishments is the fastest time to drink a Capri Sun with a paper straw in 21.71 seconds.
