Tried a bite when a friend bought it a few years back. And... I can totally see it.
My eyes were watering, my nose immediately started leaking, and I think I inhaled a small amount of dust. All while coughing from the pain. Someone with preexisting conditions who was too dumb/peer pressured to wash it down with water/milk could totally die from that. And I would be very okay with an "18 or over" requirement on that.
As for the chip itself: I love spicy food. But shit like this and The Last Dab aren't spicy. They are just "hot". If all you want is the adrenaline rush of poisoning yourself with capsaicin, have fun. But I want my spice to enhance the flavor of what I am eating. Rather than just immediately overload my body. Spices are meant to flavor things.
Yup. I've tried so many of the different high end hot sauces. I love them. I tried this back in I think 2020. On one hand, glad I did it. It's a challenge. On the other hand, I don't think I would do it again.
But the chip they use now is supposed to be even hotter. Like at some point it really does become a health concern. Especially for people who aren't used to super hot foods. Even my brother, who can also keep up on the hot sauces, complained that it made his stomach hurt for a good hour.
Yeah. It definitely does not help that, even now, the average "white person" thinks salt and pepper is "spice", taco bell gives them an upset stomach, and that you only break out the lowry's on REALLY special occasions.
Like, a really good friend of mine for decades at this point is afraid of Cholula.
Just to make it clear. If people don't like spicy food, that is fine. I do suspect what they don't like is "hot" food, but, whatever.
But don't go from "This bell pepper is a bit spicy" to a million on the Scoville scale with a "bit much" table sauce. Let alone whatever the hell these chips are at.
I love seeing pictures that white people post of their food talking about how excited they are and it looks like there's not a flake of seasoning on that. I don't get how they live like that.
I had one of these chips too. It was really bad for like 10-15 minutes and then it was okay.
