Some people love the spice. Others, not so much, which includes Henry who is a winner in CrackBerry's What Would You Do for a BlackBerry 10 Phone? contest.
To win a free BlackBerry 10 phone from CrackBerry.com, Henry said he would take on Chunky's Four Horsemen burger, which is recognized as literally being the hottest hamburger in the world. It's so hot you have to sign a waiver form before you take on the Four Horseman challenge. The goal of the Four Horseman Challenge is to eat the hot and spicy half pound burger in 25 minutes or less, then once finished you have to wait at least five minutes before having a drink of milk (or throwing up).
When Henry submitted his entry, he sent along with it a link to an episode of Man vs. Food, where Adam Richman headed to San Antonio to take a shot at eating the Four Horsemen burger. Clearly, it looked more like torture than dinner... so we knew if Henry was willing to give it a go his love and passion for BlackBerry must be strong. Taking the challenge to the next level, Henry also suggested he would use his BlackBerry to update his status on his social networks while eating the burger.
How did it all play out? Well, you'll have to watch the video above to find out. Congrats to Henry for having the guts and intestinal fortitude to attempt this one! He's definitely deserving of a BlackBerry 10 phone!

Hey Kevin,
Totally off topic, is MTS Mobility going to be carrying the BB10 at launch? As usual, their web site as no info.
Wow, first comment and didn't even notice!
Kevin Michaluk Jan 24, 2013 at 10:47 am
Yeah, that is off topic. Lol.
But... to answer... funny thing... I was sitting on the same airplane heading from Winnipeg to Vegas for CES with some of the MTS crew that was going.
Won't get into the specifics, but yes, they're supporting BB10 for sure. Don't you worry. :)
morpho4444 Jan 24, 2013 at 1:25 pm
Kevin, RIM is coming back with all the hype... this video, talks about it.. hope you like it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3otdHdOTlE
EsJayDee Jan 24, 2013 at 11:01 am

Poor kid, at least he tried. Lol
Esgetn2hoT Jan 25, 2013 at 8:56 am

BriniaSona Jan 24, 2013 at 10:55 am
I gotta try me this burgar, also, i was thinking of getting BB10 Branded on me, lol.
Mkes me want to mke some super chili again.
panterarck Jan 24, 2013 at 11:34 am
Poor guy...I'm sure his chocolate star burned for days. We have a super hot pizza challenge here in Chicago and my intestines burned for days. A for effort....I feel your pain. If anyone is ever in Chicago try it out. http://youtu.be/e1clP00zyEw
kill_9 Jan 24, 2013 at 11:03 am
The guy wasted too much time trying to check his status and got burned for the mistake. The burger was cut into four (4) sections so he could have finished it in an easy 10 minutes.
Adam Zeis Jan 24, 2013 at 11:05 am
I'd like to see you try it before you say it would be easy :)
BBVegasGirl80 Jan 24, 2013 at 11:05 am
Congrats Henry! A for effort. :-)
zclash Jan 24, 2013 at 11:11 am
Thank you that means alot :)
HarryLime Jan 24, 2013 at 11:08 am
Awesome! Way to represent "San Anto" and Blackberry Henry! Sometimes I think I’m the only Crackberry addict here in SA but glad to see that we are out there! (BTW, Chunky's rules, hit it up waaaay to many times when I lived down the street from there).
Jonathank Jan 24, 2013 at 11:08 am

Mel25 Jan 24, 2013 at 11:19 am

cdnharry Jan 24, 2013 at 11:25 am
Dude that looked so painful, Kevin are you gonna give him a phone anyway? That was worth it for sure.
Kevin Michaluk Jan 24, 2013 at 11:37 am
Oh yeah, he gets his phone. Winner winner, chicken dinner... err, I mean spicy hamburger.
cdnharry Jan 24, 2013 at 12:56 pm

Jonathank Jan 24, 2013 at 12:57 pm

Did I miss something? An announcement perhaps? Or are you just assuming?
walnuts1024 Jan 24, 2013 at 1:18 pm
End of the vid says he gets a phone.
newcollector Jan 24, 2013 at 11:28 am
My wife and I are flying to San Antonio to visit my son and his family. Chunky's is on our list of places to hit. I WILL NOT be trying that burger. Congratulations Henry, you gave it a great shot and your BB10 love transends even the obvious burger-inflected pain!
coreytrevorlahey Jan 24, 2013 at 11:28 am
Congrats Man!!!! Enjoy the new phone!! Feb 5!!!
Cap_172R Jan 24, 2013 at 11:36 am

revtech Jan 24, 2013 at 11:37 am
Congrats bud, that looked painful, but I think your true dedication was shown in you trying to update your status during the ordeal . . oy! =)
moonfalle Jan 24, 2013 at 11:47 am

Did he film it with a BB phone?
Superfly_FR Jan 24, 2013 at 12:08 pm
Nice try, deserves the Z10 !
playpen007 Jan 24, 2013 at 12:17 pm
This is too extreme hottest burger at least he tried and he is deserve a BB10 phone. I voted for him...
Dougielas Jan 24, 2013 at 12:17 pm
Wow!!!!
You deserve that awesome phone buddy!
No way I would have done this!
Chriz Jan 24, 2013 at 12:19 pm
omg
Congrats Henry for your new Z10! :-)
A good Try. :D Maybe next Time... :-)
houshinto#IM Jan 24, 2013 at 12:19 pm
That looks beyond painful. We didn't see the after effects but hopefully you were ok.
Congrats Henry.
hallda01 Jan 24, 2013 at 12:23 pm
Looks like he's rocking a Curve 3G, so that dude really held out for BB10.
axllebeer Jan 24, 2013 at 12:31 pm
* BlackBerry by choice *
Damn I've never been there to eat that burger, but I've had to sign a waiver before doing other challenges and I say he is very deserving of a new z10.
Congratulations man, you deserve it!
jhspears Jan 24, 2013 at 12:54 pm
You the man Harry! Congrats on winning the best smartphone ever!
G-bone Jan 24, 2013 at 12:59 pm
Ouch! Yer a courageous dude Henry, and you deserve your phone!

framos242 Jan 24, 2013 at 1:02 pm
Props to you Henry and congrats on the new phone!
walnuts1024 Jan 24, 2013 at 1:18 pm
Woo! all I have to say is awesome effort. Congrats you deserve it.
sidds18 Jan 24, 2013 at 1:27 pm
Good job Henry and very good gesture by team crackberry.It was good to watch everything.
Kat0908 Jan 24, 2013 at 1:33 pm
Congratulations! Way to represent San Antonio!
all3n7 Jan 24, 2013 at 1:43 pm
Congrats Man, you rrrROCK..!!
TomJasper Jan 24, 2013 at 1:56 pm
Way to go Henry, you sooooo deserve a Z10! Must be like getting pepper sprayed right in the mouth, OUCH!
zclash Jan 24, 2013 at 4:16 pm
I've not ever been pepper sprayed before, but if it makes you burn uncontrollably for a good amount of time... then yeah pretty much :)
-Henry
igotberryfever Jan 24, 2013 at 7:35 pm
Congratz too you Henry. Great effort.
How can i get you to overnight me one of those burgers?
XDrew42 Jan 24, 2013 at 1:59 pm
Awesome job man!. Many things I "would" do for my new Z10. That would not be one of them. Kudos.
Shanerredflag Jan 24, 2013 at 2:03 pm
LOL...WELL DONE...I hate the spice to buddy... I felt your pain from here!!!
Ronzdaname Jan 24, 2013 at 2:25 pm
GREAT EFFORT!!!! Give that man the BB10 phone of his choice!!!
mmcpher Jan 24, 2013 at 2:33 pm
Ouch! Some like it hot, but I top out at habenaro. The Ghost Pepper must be in the molecular acid/Alien class. The surgical gloves are no theatrical flourish, either.
John.P Jan 24, 2013 at 2:40 pm
Congrats on the phone dude! Made it further than I would've!
sevibb Jan 24, 2013 at 2:40 pm
This is off topic but looks like Lenovo might be interested in RIM
mithrazor Jan 24, 2013 at 3:03 pm
LOL this was hilarious! Good attempt though! I'm sure that thing was super spicy. And Texas represent!!
kw9700 Jan 24, 2013 at 3:09 pm
Holy crap, I think I just read a Crackberry article with no negative comments. You KNOW BB10 must be close!
Congrats to Henry too!
zclash Jan 24, 2013 at 4:13 pm
I know right!
MozThaGreat Jan 24, 2013 at 3:11 pm
He deserved the phone for sure.
strongfp Jan 24, 2013 at 3:27 pm
Guy I go to school with grows ghost peppers, drys them and then puts them on his pizza, and in his sauce... tried a slice about a month ago. Never again, had stomach cramps and everything.
BB_Bree Jan 24, 2013 at 3:33 pm
My eyes were burning just from watching that!
Great job Henry!!
zclash Jan 24, 2013 at 4:12 pm
WOW all of these comments are awesome!
Thank you all for all the positive feed back lol
Can not wait to see what the other winners did!
-Henry
Wmsi Jan 24, 2013 at 4:52 pm
Congrats Henry. Awesome video, made me smile. Well done!
WrightWords Jan 24, 2013 at 4:57 pm
Go Henry! Good application too, linking the Man Vs Food vid! Enjoy your phone and ... I am stoked that the first two winners are in the so-called Blackberry-dead zone of the U.S!
rickytiffs Jan 24, 2013 at 6:32 pm
thats so stupid. first it is so stupid that you would take on a challenge like that. second i dont agree that he deserved the phone. what is the point of the challenge if you are going to crown the people who tried?
igotberryfever Jan 24, 2013 at 7:40 pm
Wow the first negative post. You sir should keep negative feedback to yourself until you try what Henry did.
Way to go Henry!!!!! Good Job.
panterarck Jan 24, 2013 at 11:49 pm
Theres always one douchebag. Go try some ghost peppers or better yet scotch bonnet peppers and let me know how you feel afterwards.
ezrunner Jan 24, 2013 at 6:38 pm
Im gonna have to head down and try this burger
way to give it a go Henry!!
Semper Fi
Crisdean Jan 24, 2013 at 6:44 pm
Wow loving to watch men vs food kudos for trying this. He's had a good time and thatsball that counts. BB10 is gonna be hot ;)
Jimcmf Jan 24, 2013 at 7:53 pm
Good Try ..... was it hot?
jesse_h Jan 24, 2013 at 8:47 pm
Wow, that's crazy. I wouldn't be able to handle that at all.
Cracklen Jan 25, 2013 at 12:12 am
Congrats (on the BB10 win) Henry !
Ya should not have let yourself get distracted by your status ... blew your concentration .... and probably something else by the expression on your face !!!
wuulfy Jan 25, 2013 at 5:52 am
If you are british and have been following the news lately calling a burger "Four Horsemen" is very funny ;)
Rootbrian Jan 25, 2013 at 8:32 pm
Congrats henry! I never would've been able to handle that mofo of a burger! TOO MUCH SPICE!! :D
