One chip per coffin shaped box.
And Hershey's legal and marketing teams approved this?!

A tenth-grade boy has suddenly died after partaking in the viral 'One Chip Challenge' and eating what is said to be the spiciest chip in the world.
According to NBC Boston, Harris Wolobah died on the same day he participated in the online trend known as the "One Chip Challenge." Harris hailed from Worcester, Massachusetts and was only 14 at the time of his death.
On September 1, the boy's mother was called to the school when Harris complained of a stomachache. He'd eaten the dangerously spicy chip after it was given to him by a classmate.
The young teen felt better after going home but he passed out at 4.30pm when he was about to leave for basketball tryouts.
Speaking with the Worcester Telegram, police Lt. Sean Murtha said the boy was unresponsive and not breathing. He was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead.
While Harris's death marks the first reported fatality after eating the chips, many other children have needed medical attention after eating them.
In October 2022, a school district in Lafayette, Louisiana banned the chips from all campuses after multiple students needed medical attention.
Less than one month later, paramedics were called to a high school in Dunwood, Georgia, prompting police to issue a warning about the snack.
The 'One Chip Challenge' is a marketing campaign surrounding a single tortilla chip that is advertised as the spiciest in the world.
The challenge has drawn a following across social media, with the '#onechipchallenge' tag boasting over two billion views on TikTok.
Manufactured by Paqui since 2016, the chip is the product of Texas-based Amplify Snack Brands which was acquired by The Hershey Company in 2017.
A new flavor is released every year, and the 2023 edition became available on Amazon starting August 9.

WITAF.
Made with two of the spiciest chili peppers in the world, the Carolina Reaper Pepper and Naga Viper Pepper, this straight-from-hell chip is sure to bite back!
Freaking Americans don't know what hot is.
I was weaned on hot in southern Texas.
I'm not stupid enough to ingest that kind of scheisse.

Lord have mercy ........ stupidity is rampant in corporate America these days
If you haven’t been eating scorching hot spices for a couple of years, (i.e. for at least half of your life) you shouldn’t just throw something like this down the tank. Your body may rebel and try to expel out by any means necessary. Why do you think Pepper Spray can be so quickly effective?
Tik Tok gets away with too much. They have Tik Toks that instruct kids on how to shoplift, how to steal Kia Autos and a lot of other criminal activity. Why is Tik Tok allowed to do this w/o at very least being held liable for these crimes?
I’m an old Loosiana boy who was raised on hot. But the kind of stuff they’re talking about is nuts. Havanero is as hot as I’ll go these days.
Habanero
See his picture. He wasn’t destined to do much anyway seeing as how he was in his 50’s and still in 10th grade.
Kruschev got it backwards: we'll sell you the rope to hang yourselves. More TikTok, anyone?
Many lawsuits, I suspect.

Darwin Award we have a winner.
What’s the point of eating something so spicy that it can damage your digestive tract and even kill you?!
Great minds think alike.
lolol!
