Things get very hot when a first date features the spiciest wings on the planet

Nothing like eating the hottest chicken wings on earth to soothe the burning awkwardness of a first date.

The filmmakers at Facts. put blind daters Shannon and Tom to the test at Just Wing It in Dublin, Ireland, by challenging them to eat incredibly spicy Carolina Reaper-infused chicken wings.

To put this in perspective, the Carolina Reaper pepper won the 2013 Guinness Book of World Records contest for the world's hottest pepper in the world.

This challenge makes for some great first date conversation and really turns up the heat between the pair.

After experiencing this type of unimaginable pain together, our brave couple agrees to go on another date, hopefully without tears and snot pouring down their faces.

Maybe they'll find different way to ~spice up~ their relationship.
