My first experience of Indian food was at an eatery in Union Station here. It was wonderful, but the curry my husband ordered was even too hot for him. (He always complains that food advertized as hot isn’t hot enough.)

Tastes like crap and it is spicy as all Hades... I’ve done it TWICE with the 1 Chip and once with the Death Nut (version 1.0... have 2.0 sitting on a book shelf right now).

But... You don’t heed the warning labels... What happens to you after that is ON YOU.

Never saw Jackass and actually stopped watching TV from about 1990 to last year when my wife died and it was too horribly quiet at home alone. Only watch detective, police, Criminal Minds and CourtTV now. Plus my hundreds of dvds from MSquad and Mike Hammer onward.

Heard a joke once that a contestant on Jackass made the bad move of stationing himself between Michael Moore and a large buffet table and was seriously injured.

Not in ‘Murica. Where lawyers run the show. Some lawyer will get rich off of this.

You are correct, even if it isn’t what we used to consider “right”...

“A 14-year-old teenager.”

I can take fairly hot, but would not attempt one of these.

I’m at the habanero level.

It’s so hot you’re gonna wish you were dead. That’s the reasoning behind the melting skull graphic on the packaging, and the coffin-shaped box.

I suppose you figure the “For Adults Only” VERY CLEARLY printed on the label won’t be much of a defense either, right?

The kid was an idiot. Why is it that those who most strongly support Darwinism in the schools also want to bubble-wrap the world to make it “safe”?

I say we just remove all the safety warning labels and let nature take its course.

“Science”, right?

I think 5 Below has them still.

The chip isn’t even that spicy, but this is coming from a guy who throws habanero sauce on everything. YMMV…

Yeah. I’ve had tamales that were very bland.

‘Zactly. Most pepper lovers have a target “taste/heat balance.” For me, that’s serranos and tabascos, and I raise those. The heat’s just right - the flavor’s wonderful, and the capsaicin makes me want another bite. These folks that want the max heat are doing it to show off, it seems to me. YMMV.

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

So what did it taste like?

That coffin shaped package will not help the defendant in court.

That's a damning statement about our courts.

They are phrasing this as a challenge.

It’s not a challenge. It’s a packaged product enjoyed by thousands.

It’s not like tide pods here. The product was used as directed. Read the bag - exactly as directed.

Consume chip, writhe in pain while people laugh at you.

Few years back my son, the neighbor kid, and myself did a Carolina reaper challenge.

Neighbor kid ended up in the emergency room. Turns out he had an ulcer.

My son and I are pepper heads and showed zero reaction while the neighbor kid was in such extreme discomfort he was convinced we were pranking him.

At least he survived tho, yikes.

These are Paqui's chips not Taki's.

I do not get the appeal of either of them.

Killed by hot peppers?

Not likely.
