I highly doubt this is real. Times Now is an Indian rag.

If this was in America, the restaurant would have been shut down, the owner sued, and the product discontinued.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been in Japan but my recollection is that spicy is not really a big thing there. There are a couple of exceptions of course but it’s rare. No one for example is putting Tabasco on things, let alone ghost pepper hot sauce. You can find some pretty manageable chili oils for some things I guess.
There was a curry chain restaurant I went to in Osaka where you could pick a heat level up to 10. If you hadn’t been there before they would discourage you from going past 5. 5 was really not much in terms of heat to my palate but in North America spicy food seemed way more common. 10 might have been hot but I didn’t get to try it.
The other somewhat spicy options I remember were:
tantanmen (ramen). Not much heat but a little, and it was very delicious. I wish more ramen shops made this stuff back home.
A particular kind of mustard I only ever saw when buying a boiled egg from the Oden container. That was a proper sinus clearing hot mustard, and not in the wasabi sense.
The occasional store-bought kimchi had a bit of kick, but most weren’t terribly hot
This one bag of snack I bought once. I think it was habanero rings? Black bag, angry red cartoon pepper with a jack-o’-lantern face on it. I’ve bought a bag recently that looked like that since and don’t find it hot. But the one I got in Japan was either much hotter, or a year there got my tastebuds lazy.
All this to say, ghost pepper chips are probably a bridge too far for the average Japanese palate. I am not surprised that it scared kids to the point they thought they were in danger

They will not enter Sto’va’kor for they are weak and without honour. History will forget them and they bring dishonour to their House.

You can’t just post this without telling me where I can buy them!
Why so weak
No doubt it wasn’t the spice but the excessive amounts of foot skin that was somehow coating the crisps.
It’s not that bad
Best ad for spicy snacks I’ve ever seen. Where can I get some?
Gotta get me some of these 😀
Those peppers are not fun.
What a bunch of bussy’s.
