Student Housing Evacuated After Chili Recipe Goes Horribly, HORRIBLY Wrong

These college students weren’t cooking up meth, or anything illegal, they were just trying to create the world’s hottest chili. The experiment did not go well. They probably would have been better off attempting meth.

Theresa Morgan is a student at Manchester University in England. She and her housemates were pre-gaming before going out to celebrate Halloween when noxious fumes started pouring into their student housing. Theresa and friends thought the problem must have been caused by a gas leak, and they called the British version of 911.

As Theresa explained to The Tab, a student newspaper, “Everyone was wearing fake blood, because we were getting ready for a party. We had all the windows open but we were in the house when everyone started coughing. There wasn’t any smell and we couldn’t see any smoke so we thought it was something like carbon monoxide. We saw the neighbors around us also coughing and rushing out of their houses, so I called 999 right away.”

Things were pretty bad, according to Theresa: “It was ridiculous, all four houses were outside coughing, I thought there must have been a gas leak or something. One of my housemates was even throwing up.” Housemate and second-year student Liv said: “For once I was throwing up and it wasn’t because of alcohol.”

The firemen arrived, took one step into the chili house, and rushed straight out. They told the students this chili-induced alarm “was the most stupid thing they’d been sent out for in 20 years.” And they’ve probably seen some really dumb shit so that’s saying something. The firemen went back into the house, gas-masked this time, and opened all the windows and installed a giant fan to fumigate the place. The fire fighters were finally able to get the fumes under control.

By now you’re probably wonder “ok great but did anyone try the chili?”

Of course…

According to the school paper, “Needless to say none of the students had the balls to taste the chilli after the fumigation scenario.” But then, James, another student confessed to having had a taste: “It was nothing like I’d ever felt before, it was like eating pins and needles.”

Liar.
