Tortilla chip brand Paqui says it is voluntarily removing its ultra-spicy “One Chip Challenge” from shelves after a Massachusetts family claims their 14-year-old son may have died from complications from the challenge.
hmmm maybe we shouldnt let companies and people sell whatever the fuck they want
Usually it’s not the spiciness itself that gets you, but certain medical conditions can be aggravated by it since that high of a scoville unit basically triggers all of the body’s pain receptors
this chip is fuckin insane. i do wonder what the autopsy will say. Did the chip cause cardiac arrest in a 14 year old or something? Fuckin crazy. I saw some videos of this “challenge” but it was all adults.
Who knows. Bodies are weird and horrific. I did here from a nurse that some brave adventurer chewed and swallowed a 9,000,00 scoville gummy bear at a middle school this week. wonder how that will turn out.
Capsaicin olioresin which is basically a syrup of sorts made from the extracted oils will cause skin burns.
I used to have a job mixing oils to make fragrants mostly but we occasionally made the solution that went into police grade pepper spray and it was like 1 part olioresin capsaicin to 4 parts solvent. No one ever wanted to make the stuff so I did. I got the olioresin on my skin one time. It wasn’t a lot. Just a few drops but it gave me something between a first and second degree burn.
I still eat a ton of spicy food though but only because I’m addicted and I hate myself.
I like spicy food. I’ll eat the hottest hot sauces on the planet for enjoyment.
I tried that gummy bear. I didn’t even eat the whole thing. I cut it into four pieces and shared it with three friends. NEVER AGAIN. It’s by far the spiciest thing I’ve ever tasted. It gets stuck in your teeth and keeps leaching spicy into your mouth for the next hour. I don’t have words to describe it properly except to say I will never do that again.
Reaper Squeezings, Da Bomb, The End, Dave’s Insanity, The Last Dab, etc. I would eat again but I will never touch that gummy knowing what I know now.
We need to expand the “Challenge” aspect in to a full fledged ritual experience where you commune with god while you’re screaming and rolling on the floor from the pain. Like cut it down to 8,999,999 scovilles and where that last scoville was slip in a little LSD or pcilocybin so when you come out the other side you can like speak to trees or something.
Pain can cause inflammation, hyperventilation, disruptions to heartbeat, a spike in blood pressure, and many other things that you probably know can lead to death in someone with a vulnerability
i didnt realize you could actually die (or have any actual physical harm, really) from something being too spicey

yeah that makes sense. if the kid had some condition they werent aware of maybe that’s what happeend

Just for reference, pure capsaicin is 16 million scoville
So someone made a candy where over half of its mass is capsaicin. Even if you can stand the heat that cannot possibly taste good
Holy shit. You shouldn’t even touch that.

positively fiendish
Oh man I don’t really fuck with hallucinogens anymore except for 2C-B. I love the visuals but I am not equipped for the mind fuck.

I learned to pace myself after I had the Buldak “extra spicy” ramen or whatever it’s called and my teeth started to hurt.
