There’s a Thai restaurant near where I work which rates their food on a 5 pepper scale. My coworker, RC, who lived in Thailand for a year, was challenged to eat a 5-pepper entree by MC. Many of us went out to lunch together to witness the challenge. Unbeknownst to RC, MC was planning on playing a prank on him. He didn’t intend to ever eat a 5-pepper entree because a 4-pepper entree he eat 2 weeks before totally made him tear up and gasp for water. (It was actually a funny sight.)

Anyway, once we got there, MC conveniently needed to go to the bathroom after we had ordered our food. On the way to the bathroom, he cornered the waitress and let her in on his plan. MC changed his order from 5 peppers to 3 peppers. He definitely played the challenge very well. Well acted. RC was definitely fooled, but he was a good sport about the whole thing.
