Rant: Big fight about pausing the clock in a ghost pepper eating contest

Tbh, at a cookout yesterday, my cousin insisted you can stop the timer to drink water during their ghost pepper challenge. His brother says that defeats the whole point and you gotta power through. Honestly, it got real tense when someone almost choked from trying to swallow fast. Where do you stand on allowing breaks in a timed spice challenge?

The part where someone almost choked is exactly why I say breaks are needed. That sounds so scary, and I feel bad for your cousin and his brother. Honestly, ghost peppers can mess you up, and powering through just isn't safe. I stand with allowing pauses because no contest is worth a trip to the hospital. We gotta remember that these challenges are supposed to be fun, not dangerous.
