Didn't realize this was a thing. Went in to warn my 9 year old granddaughter about this and ended up in a learning session as she had more information about this spicy chip challenge than I did.
Why is this still being sold? 🤔The label warnings alone scare the hell out of me.
Massachusetts Teen Dies After Allegedly Taking Part in Viral 'One Chip Challenge,' Eating Snack Containing World's Hottest Pepper
@nursefrombirth
He was 14. 🥺
@VenomousHeroine yep, a baby. 🥲The label says it should only be consumed by adults. My question is how are they making sure only adults are purchasing?
@nursefrombirth This felt like a really stupid marketing idea. Most people don't have, and have not developed, the ability to tolerate reaper peppers and the like.
I built up heat tolerance over a lot of time and practice, and I'm sparing about peppers that hot.
I can't imagine them falling into the mouth of someone who hasn't been pepper-sprayed repeatedly.
I'm sure that lawsuit that's coming played a part.
