A nine-year-old boy from Scotland has eaten a Carolina Reaper in a hilarious video uploaded to YouTube.

The chillies can reach up to 2,200,000 on the Scoville scale, making it the hottest in the world.

The caption of the video says: "The first few chews were very hot but just about manageable. Then the volcano erupted."

While he's glugging down milk, the boy's grandad can be heard in the background saying: "You're not supposed to swallow it!"

He came back on the video post to give a few words of wisdom for anyone else considering taking on the challenge:

Know Your Chillies – From Scotch Bonnet To Jalapeño, Which Is The Tastiest?

Yellow Chilli Peppers(01 of10)

Try Yellow Chillies for something sweet, mild and crunchy. A great accompaniment to fajitas and nachos, they bring a splash of colour to pizzas and salads without the spiciness of red or green jalapeños. (credit:alfimimnill via Getty Images)

Habanero & Scotch Bonnet Chillies(02 of10)

Feeling hot, hot, hot? Scotch Bonnet and Habanero chillies are not for the faint of heart (or of heat; they measure in at roughly 100,000 to 300,000 Scoville units). With thin, waxy flesh and similar fruity flavouring, these are popular chillis often used in hot sauces and spicy foods, like Santa Maria's Habanero Chilli Con Carne Seasoning & Sauce. Fun fact: the habanero chilli comes from the Mexican state of Yucatán, but got its name from the capital of Cuba, Havana, because it is such a popular commodity there.

Chipotles(03 of10)

Chipotles are smoke-dried jalapeño peppers popular in Mexican cooking. Mild and earthy, they're often used in salsas, soups and stews. Try this Chipotle Paste(blended with onions and tomatoes) for a smoky flavour in your fajitas and chilli dishes. Or stir into soured cream for a tasty dip. (credit:James And James via Getty Images)

Red Jalapeño Peppers (04 of10)

Thick-fleshed red jalapeños are perfect for adding heat to any dish and these Red Jalapeños make a great topping for nachos, fajitas and pizzas. Or you can add them to chilli con carne for a sweeter, tangy flavour. Hand-picked in Mexico, Santa Maria's red jalapeños are left on the vine longer to ripen, resulting in a sweeter - but not hotter - chilli. (credit:Mike Flippo via Getty Images)

Green Jalapeño Peppers(05 of10)

Some chilli fans swear that jalapeños taste their best when they're at the green, immature stage of development. Perfect for adding colour and flavour to a variety of dishes, these Green Jalapeños are a must for heat-lovers. (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)

Cayenne Pepper(06 of10)

A thin green or red pepper, cayenne usually comes in powdered form and is known for its fiery, tangy taste. With a heat level between 20,000 and 30,000 Scoville units (the chilli-pepper heat-ranking measurement scale invented by Wilbur Scoville in 1912), try it in this Hot Chilli Powder to add an exotic twist to everyday dishes like fish, shellfish and meat.

New Mexico Chilli Peppers (Anaheim)(07 of10)

These mild peppers (500-2,500 on the Scoville scale) are popular in Mexican dishes. Sprinkle on this blend of New Mexico Chilli Pepper (with cumin and oregano) to add a mild kick to any dish. (credit:David Q. Cavagnaro via Getty Images)

Thai Chilli Peppers (Bird's Eye)(08 of10)

Another very hot chilli variety, the bird's eye is a common choice in Thai, Vietnamese, Keralan and Indonesian cuisines. Thai Wok blends salty, sweet, spicy and sour flavours and is ideal for seasoning salads, noodles, fish and chicken. (credit:elena moiseeva via Getty Images)

Poblano (Ancho) Chillies(09 of10)

Poblano chillies (called ancho when dried) are another mild-to-medium chilli and are a popular choice for stuffing and for use in mole sauces. This Cacao & Ancho Chilli Seasoning & Sauce,a bitter-sweet tomato-based cooking sauce, is inspired by traditional mole. (credit:John Block via Getty Images)

Serrano Chillies(10 of10)

A popular ingredient in pico de gallo and salsas, Serrano peppers are known for their fiery flavour. They rank between 10,000 and 25,000 on the Scoville scale. (credit:Kelly Cline via Getty Images)
