48 Jalepeno peppers in 5 minutes, thats 576 per hour, figure an eight hour work day thats 4,608 per day.

5 days per week gives us 23,040 per week for 50 weeks (52-2 weeks vacation) = 1,152,000 per year.

Mark’s got about fifty years before retirement, yeah I say he’d eat 57,600,000 peppers during work alone.

I know, I know, he’d probably get quicker as he honed his technique, but I figure he’ll probably slack off at some point and that will make up for the speed.

What? This isn’t his job? He did this for fun?

Not just fun baby, Mark is Rocking the 2008 World Champion of Sheboygan Jalepeno Pepper eating trophy. No, that’s a napkin, the trophies hiding behind the black shirt and the soon to be empty bottle of water

What’s this dude packing that you’re not? Peppers my man, peppers
