Hot Competition is the seventh episode of Season 19 and the seventeenth episode of the Om Nom Cafe era of Om Nom Stories.
Description[]
You know that Om Nom is VERY competitive when he accepts Bull's hot pepper challenge. Om Nelle and Nibble Nom serve one superhot pepper after another, and Om Nom and the Bull are doing... fine. But who will eat the lava pepper and win?
Plot[]
A pepper eating competition is being held, and Om Nom brings out some mild peppers. A mole wants a try, but Bull believes he could be a bigger challenge. Bull takes all of the peppers and is fine, and Om Nom can barely handle it, but he asks for a higher level. Two spicier peppers are brought out, and Om Nom eats one, but he cannot handle it, and despite a reaction from Bull, he handles it. A spicier pepper is demanded, and Om Nelle brings two of them out. Om Nom and Bull eat the peppers, and they can handle it until they reach their stomachs. Higher levels of peppers are demanded, and Om Nom and Bull eat them, but they refuse to give up, and Om Nom demands the spiciest pepper they know. Om Nelle and Nibble Nom collect two from a tree deep inside the earth, and the crowd cheer Om Nom and Bull on. Om Nom tries to eat one, but the moment it touches his tongue, he gives up, and the same applies to Bull, so Nibble Nom puts ice creams on them, and they notice the mole eating the peppers without any reaction whatsoever.
Trivia[]
