The Red Hot Chili Peppers have a new album coming out on August 30. It’s called I’m With You. You may have heard the first single, “The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie.” It’s one of the Chili Peppers’ kinda-serious songs — you can tell because Anthony Kiedis sings in his Kermit voice.
We have some special promo-only copies of a new greatest-hits CD that you won’t find in stores or online. It includes 18 songs from the past 20 or so years, including “Give It Away” and “Scar Tissue.” It’s pretty cool.
Want a copy? Just leave a comment about the hottest thing you ever put in your mouth. (And let’s keep it clean, OK?)
We’ll pick nine winners by the end of the day.
Just be sure you leave a comment with a registered and valid e-mail address, since that’s how we’ll let you know if you won. Also, you’ll have to come to our lovely office in the even lovelier downtown Cleveland to pick up your swag.

I once ate one of the hottest peppers in the world, a habanero pepper. My eyes watered for 15 minutes.
his name was Alan.
I had mexican and indian food in the same day. It was a little painful, but soooo worth it!
*in the same meal.
typo.
It was gumbo. So tasty, but my eyes wouldn’t stop watering.
Yeah hottest pepper in the world is the ghost pepper and that was a really stupid thing to do, but I had to try it. I have a ghost pepper plant in my front yard, deers eat everything but that plant. LOL
Hot sauce called da bomb = Death lol too hot even for me
I used to eat all kinds of hot peppers, including habanero peppers on dares. Now that I am a lot older I can’t even eat jalapena peppers without thinking my mouth is on fire. What the hell happened to me. Getting older sucks.

It was a cajun meal on my honeymoon in New Orleans! It was so rough on the system the majority of the weekend was spent in the restroom. Not my idea of a fun honeymoon! Now my most adventurous spice is ketchup :)!
A special hot sauce from my friends dad whose name was Mani from Monroe, MI. The special sauce was dark green with dashes of neon yellow and green fiery madness. Never what the little yellow pepper was called but my burnt for a week after.
Habanero??? Please..I tried just a bite of a ghost pepper. Damn near hospitalized me.
Jalapeno stuffed with wasabi. Yes it was a dare. Yes it was stupid. And yes it burned just as much going out as it did going in…

Aw haste we baste within the sun
I’m having myself some good ole fun
It’s good to shoot my lovely gun
Did I win my special edition promo disc yet?
I once ate a burger that had recently disintigrated hot coals on it (my borther thought himself a real practical joker when we were younger [he’s older by 6 years]}. Needless to say I had blisters in my mouth and couldn’t talk for two weeks. He said he thought the ketchup he put on the burger would quell the fire and I would just eat ashes. Well, it didn’t work that way.
