Life

Early Life Ben's early life is shrouded in mystery and it is mostly unknown where he grew up or who he was raised by. Ben D. became interested in hot foods when was dared by a friend to eat two Jalapeno peppers at once. Ben ate the peppers with great ease and was known as "Torch" by a majority of his peers. As he grew up, Ben put himself to the test in preparation for hot food-eating contests. Ben would spend weeks testing news peppers and pepper combinations. Ben D. eventually figured out ways to eat pounds of hot foods without needing a drink, he has kept the process a secret to this very day.

Mid-Life Ben D. eventually trained enough and proceeded to win multiple eating events around America. However, upon hearing of better competition on other ends of the world, Ben traveled from place-to-place, winning every event with ease. These constant journey's caused Ben to become increasingly distant from his family and became depressed. It was only when Roosle gave him a pep-talk that Ben decided to stop his travels an be satisfied with his current winnings. However, two years later, Ben learned of a major food eating contest in Los Angeles. Ben couldn't resist and traveled to the city where he ate against over 100 competitors. The tests were brutal and Ben was pushed to the limit as the competition began to end. Now pinned against three Asian competitors, Ben won by devouring three plates of Ghost Peppers in under 10 minutes! The burning sensation was so great that Ben could not stand or breath in one spot for to long, or it would melt. After the grueling pain was over, Ben was announced to be "impossible to beat" and with that, Ben retired from eating hot foods for the time being.

Present Ben spends most of his current days using the money he's won to give to charity and using the rest to concoct his very own brand of hot sauce. Two restaurants have been placed around America in Ben's honer and he was also briefly featured on the food network, showing off his new hot-sauce. In Ben's spare time, he participates in Awesome Meetings and plays basketball with Roosle.
