I ate a bite of it one of these chips and I cannot imagine a kid eating a whole chip. That one bite entirely cooled my plan to say to the gang of teenage profferers “You’re all a bunch of pussies”. I COULD have said it mind you but I just did t feel like it…at all…

What did Indians use before hot peppers? Hot peppers are a New World phenomenon. Should Indians repent of cultural appropriation?

I wonder if you dropped some chips around an ant nest if it would kill the ants.

Of course, suing is the new National Pasttime.

I believe in some of these crazy viral challenges, sinister adults or nations are ultimately responsible. Especially in regards to TikTok.

An asthmatic could have a major reaction to something like the spicing on the chip. The airway would close.

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

I didn’t realize it went back to 2016, but I do remember watching videos of people doing this challenge years ago. It looked extremely painful, but seemed harmless enough. I would guess this kid had some underlying health issue or had gotten the clot shot.

Well, was he.

I would think that a combination of a vaccine induced enlarged heart and the shock of the hot chip might just do it.

Would be a great sketch on SNL with Dan Aykroyd as the salesman.

who died hours after eating a spicy tortilla chip as part of the 'One Chip Challenge

What else did he do in those hours after eating this chip? I’m skeptical of causation, but maybe the truth will come out someday.

Think of it as evolution in action.

I suppose the Roaring ‘20s had its goldfish swallowing frat boys but the ‘20s were also an era of uncertainty and disconnection like today. Social media exacerbates stupidity with its moronic promotion of “challenges”. I always am led back to that awful show “Jackass” where smelly teens got a rip roaring laugh out of watching foolish young men do stupid things. One of those foolish young men got older and died from doing one of those stupid things that got such a big laugh from our contemporary young. That was some challenge

A lot of Mexican food isn’t ‘hot’ at all. It’s a big, diverse country with lots of culinary regions.

Most “Mexican” food isn’t Mexican, it’s Tex-Mex.

We have a small farm business, and we grow lots of Jalapeño and Habanero peppers.

We make spices with garlic and the peppers, and some sweet items with them as well.

It’s surprising to me how well they sell. People love that stuff.
