PepsiCo Canada has launched “Doritos Roulette,” a new flavour edition in which most of the chips are nacho cheese flavored, while others are insanely hot.

Consumers are calling the chips “dangerous” and “a solid slap in the face” and hundreds of people are posting videos of themselves eating the chips on YouTube.

“Aside from the spice, these chips look and taste just like a regular Nacho Cheese Dorito,” according to a review by the blog The Impulsive Buy. “So you really have no idea what you’re going to get until you pop it in your mouth.”

I got Mr Kitty yesterday. He hates hot food.

I was opening a can of chipolte in adobo for my spicy Dr Pepper pulled pork and a little bit of the sauce splashed on my cheek. I called him to come and give me a kiss to lick it off. He did so without asking what it was until AFTER he gave me a kiss.

Okay, it was a bit mean, but it wasn’t THAT hot. And he managed to get to the sink and get his mouth under the faucet in just a few steps.
