Bernie Sanders supporters 'feel the Bern' by drinking hot sauce

Some supporters of U.S. presidential candidate Bernie Sanders have decided they need to "feel the Bern" by either donating $3 to his campaign or swallowing a teaspoon of hot sauce in front of a camera.

Writer Wayne Gladstone spawned the #FeeltheBernChallenge earlier this week by posting a YouTube video in which he did both. He announced he would donate $3 US and drink a teaspoon of Frank's Red Hot sauce.

"Because he's not accepting huge contributions from SuperPACs, it falls on all of us to help spread the word online," Gladstone says in the video.

He then asks comedian Maura Quint to do the same and then nominate more supporters. You can see her literally feel the burn when she recorded herself squirming in response to eating a spoonful of Sriracha hot sauce.
