Teenagers hospitalised by extreme chilli sauce

A group of eight German teenagers needed hospital treatment after drinking and extra spicy chilli sauce.

It is thought the boys - all aged 13 or 14 - dared each other to down some of the chilli sauce which is 200 times stronger then normal.

But soon after, they started feeling ill and an ambulance was called to their Augsburg school. The lads were then taken to hospital where they were kept overnight for observation.

It's said that on the Scoville scale - the standard measurement of sauce spiciness -  the hot sauce measured 535,000 — a normal Tabasco sauce is only 2,500.

The teenagers will be able to attest to the hottest of the sauce (again) in a couple of days… while listening to ring of fire.
