But Curry proved that he was a different breed compared to other celebrities. As the show started, they started with the moderately spicy sauces which Curry ate with ease. In the show, they have a spice meter called the Scoville scale. As the scale began to rise, Curry was looking more than confident, even licking the sauce of his fingers.

But when it was time for their infamous sauce called “Da bomb” that is when the fans were astonished. This sauce is the highest on their Scoville scale and has made celebrities cry their eyes out. Not for Curry, because he ate the entire wing with the sauce and had a smile on his face. Curry’s heat tolerance reached a breathtaking peak, similar to his famous 50-point endeavor against the Sacramento Kings in Game 7 of the first round of the NBA playoffs.
