Day 103: Conclusion (Salsa party)

        The fruits of our labors over the course of this 103 day experiment have culminated to bring you the ultimate pepper blog finale. We sacrificed seven (consenting) individuals to test our official "Who's Your Trinidaddy" salsa (a.k.a. Alsalsa-Raine). Their cries still ring throughout the halls of Shunk Hall. Although there were no casualties, we have achieved our goal in simultaneously creating a culinary masterpiece and a Hell for our VR1 receptors. In fact, the salsa was quite palatable with a very rich flavor. One brave sacrifice comments on the experience of eating the salsa: "As long as you don't stop eating, it doesn't burn." I believe this to be an accurate account of the concourse. The second you allow air into your throat, the capsaicin tears it apart. 
         This last hurrah concludes our experiment. We would like to thank all of our readership and those who have supported us with ideas, good and bad (sadistic), and we discourage you from attempting to recreate this experiment.
