Raw Chorizo Challenge

**Raw Chorizo Challenge** is a food challenge video made by JoeysWorldTour. True to its name, it is a 4:35 minutes long recording of Joey showing off, choking on and finally devouring a whole tube of uncooked chorizo sausage.

It has the honor of being one of only a handful of videos to have been deleted from Joey's main channel, though this didn’t stop fans from reuploading it.

## Plot

The video starts with who else but Joey, though uncharacteristically unenthusiastic, doing his intro, then presenting the viewers with his newest food challenge, proudly voicing his intentions of chowing down on roughly ten (10) ounces (circa 250g) of raw Mexican pork chorizo, having apparently forgotten his body's reaction to his native cuisine in The Habanero Chili Challenge. Like a mohel to a newborn, he snips off the preputial casing with a swift scissor cut, commencing the engorgement.

Joey starts off delighted, squeezing around half the sausage directly into his mouth, in a manner oddly reminiscent of a scene from an amateur scat porno. Savouring it, he soon realises that the chorizo's spices are quite hearty, acknowledging "I can taste the... I can taste the spices... in this", before suddenly beginning to gag, trying to hold in the contents of his maw with his hand, all the while wheezing and coughing, visibly tearing up and struggling to contain the inevitable load of vomit working its way up his throat. What follows is about a minute of footage documenting nothing but Joey hacking incessantly and regularly barfing up bits and pieces of runny chorizo, which would then spill onto the corners of his mouth, right hand, upper lip, nose and double chin, accompanied by Joey's squeals, grunting noises and pleads to God. And while some squirts of partially chewed slime manages to escape from its moist prison, alas, the endeavour for freedom is a fruitless cause, as one quick glance at the camera snaps Joey back to reality, his own anyway, prompting him to successfully, albeit with extreme discomfort, swallow whatever remains of the sausage that didn't end up on the unseen table, the floor or his face, pausing momentarily to take numerous deep breaths.

Being a man of his word, however, he chooses to ignore the most basic human instinct of stopping a senseless act of self-harm and instead continues to gulp down the rest of the meaty paste without further commentary, clearly in great agony from a combination of stomach pain, eye irritation and nausea, all brought on by the heavily underestimated piquancy of Walmart chorizo. Finally emptying the package, Joey, still crying and huffing for air, ends the video, calling the chorizo challenge "nasty", admitting that he thought since chorizo usually tastes good in reasonable amounts, more than half a pound of it would be the ultimate pleasure. He shows off the inside of a well-placed sauce pan he used to catch some of his dribbling with, the oozey mush graciously sliding down a puddle of oily residue and spit, before imploring his viewers to suggest "something different next time, we'll have more fun", as if they asked him to do any of the challenges he films himself doing, taking several more seconds to catch his breath and sneezing half a dozen times before standing up to manually turn off "[his] stupid camera".

In short: Joey ate raw chorizo and it was really awful and disgusting.

## Notes

* The brand of Joey's forlorn sausage is Chacique, available at Walmart for 1.28$. In the About section, Chacique prides itself for using only authentic Mexican ingredients and the resultantly strong seasoning. Due to this, the sausage is, as is traditionally expected, composed of primarily ground up pig offal, mainly lymph and salivary glands, not minced meat like most Americans (and apparently some Mexican-Americans) are used to. Note that both the description and the safe handling instructions *specifically* warns that the chorizo must be cooked, as improper preparation of the product can cause illness, though only reminding the consumer to keep the chorizo cooled, separate it from other raw meats, thoroughly heat it and **immediately** dispose of the item if left unrefrigerated. The writers did not even consider the possibility that some glutton like Joey might just scarf it down uncooked, within less than 5 minutes to boot.
