From pizzas the size of planets to curries hotter than Hawaii, eating challenges have been making mincemeat out of plucky challengers for years. Now, for the launch of Mexico based Army of TWO The Devil’s Cartel, Electronic Arts and Chilango have announced the “Army of Burri-Two” challenge, daring brave Brits to take on a gargantuan burrito so huge and spicy that it can’t be vanquished alone.
The “Army of Burri-Two” challenge will require two hombres to team up and take down a burrito that’s double the size of anything else on the Mexican restaurant’s Zagat-rated menu. And just in case eating a burrito the size of a small child wasn’t challenging enough, the combined heat of two different salsas will leave all but the most hardcore quivering in its wake.
Foolhardy customers can also choose to douse their meal in Chilango’s optional Overkill sauce. Bringing to life the game’s Overkill mode – which boosts the amount of destruction you can dish out to insane, Michael Bay-esque proportions – this explosive addition is made from excruciatingly spicy habanero peppers, which are over 60 times hotter than your average jalapeno.
Currently available exclusively at Chilango restaurants for just three weeks, gamers and food fanatics alike should brace themselves for one of the most intimidating food challenges London has ever seen.
“We’re excited about partnering with Chilango to launch Army of TWO The Devil’s Cartel,” said Colin Blackwood at Electronic Arts. “They’ve been making great burritos for years, and what better way to bring the game’s hot co-operative gameplay to life than via a blistering burrito co-op challenge.”
“We’re huge fans of the Army of TWO franchise,” added Eric Partaker, Co-founder of Chilango. “Our love of Mexico’s vibrancy and energy make this launch a perfect fit for Chilango. I’m really looking forward to seeing our guests try and take down this huge, flavour-filled, burrito inferno. It’s not for the faint of heart, but is absolutely for the adventurous spirits that love both EA and Chilango.”
