Teens will go to scary lengths for swag, and one booth at VidCon proved it.

At YouTube's annual convention, Mitú, a media agency for Latin internet stars, hosted a booth daring attendees to eat a burrito filled with three random ingredients in order to win a free t-shirt or hat.

The company claims to be the world's largest network of Latino content creators and social media influencers.

And we're talking tortillas stuffed with doughnuts, condensed milk, and ketchup. Peanut butter, barbecue sauce, and mandarin oranges. Seaweed, pineapple, and "mystery meat," which looked like whitish, regurgitated cat food.

It. Was. Gross.

In order to enter, you had to log into the Mitú app with your own Twitter or Facebook account. A camera filmed your first few bites of the burrito, and the app posted the videos to social using the company's hashtag.

We were amazed to see a constant line at the booth throughout the three-day convention.
