I heard he ate more than one...also, the “heat” in these chips DOES cause rapid heart rates.

The Bottom Line
The Paqui One Chip Challenge is a social media challenge that involves consumption of an extremely spicy tortilla chip. The chip contains capsaicin, a compound found naturally in chili peppers. Capsaicin consumption typically causes mouth and throat pain but can also result in more serious health problems including trouble breathing, esophageal damage, and heart problems. The manufacturer started pulling the product from store shelves in September 2023, following a death reported hours after a healthy teenager participated in the challenge.

Were young people always this impressionable and needy for attention and fitting in? Maybe so.

But the “viral” posts and videos on social media draw in incredibly high interest and young people don’t want to be shunned and set aside.

Sad.

I raise Carolina Reaper peppers in my garden. Anyone who puts one of those in their mouth is an idiot.

Let us know how things go - and further, how they come out - if you can still communicate.

First I heard of this stuff was today, but apparently it has been a “thing” since 2016.

We are being ruled by the actions of spoiled kids that are raised to be foolish.

Do you raise them to repel pests?
