Somehow, it never gets old watching people torture themselves with spicy food.

Ben Ten, a YouTuber who vlogs as Awesome Eats, was in Jakarta, Indonesia and filmed himself eating at a local stall in Abang Adek famous for its super spicy noodle dish.

It appears the noodles are regular Indomie-brand instant ramen, but the chef throws in 100 chilli padis in there -- also known as bird's eye chilli, a tiny hot pepper popular in Asian cuisine.

"My lips are burning, I can't feel anything," says a sweaty Ben, minutes in. At one point he takes off his jacket and has to stand up for a while to process the heat while drinking milk and shoving ice cubes into his mouth.

"This is not edible ... It's so hot. it's not for humans," his companion whines.

Stay tuned for the next burn Ben is going to experience a few hours later.
