Dang I got two unopened ones left, thats gonna be worth some $ in like…ten years.
I guess there’s some evidence it did kill that 14yr old.
Nothing of value is lost.
Never tried any of these. What did any of y’all super hot lovers that tried them out think of the heat level?
Just bought a 2 pack of amazon before they are pulled if anyone is so inclined.
It was dumb to begin with but this is dumber imo
Great news
Lame.
No great loss.
Just saw an article about this! A kid died after doing the challenge. Cause of death is still unclear, but he went home from school sick after doing the challenge and was later taken to the hospital, where he died.

Disgusting chip that sends all the wrong messages about the love for spicy food to the masses. No point in pain if you don’t even get to taste the delicious peppers, and I find some particularly angry fresh habanero pods to be just as spicy as the damn chip.
It’s a real shame about the kid, and Paqui likely fucked up somehow because I don’t think capsaicin has the capacity to kill anyone by itself. It’ll be interesting to see what comes of this.
It tasted like stale shit anyway.
If you want some kind of extreme heat challenge do the death nut. They’re actually pretty tasty and hotter anyway.
I now want to try one even more. I tried the ghost pepper soup. Couldn’t be worse than that.
