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.
That last paragraph is why I don't like Tobasco. It's not flavorful. It's just heat and vinegar. Better as an assault deterrent than as food. Dave's has some good sauces, but the Insanity Sauce is not one of them, for the same reason.
I don't like Tobasco either, but I feel like for the opposite reason. The flavor is the problem, while I love a similarly vinegary hot sauce like Louisiana which I'd say has less other flavor
Same, I don't like the taste of Tobasco. I like Valentina hot sauce. It's very mild, but I love the flavor. I usually use it to slather burritos or put in tacos. It also makes an ok hot wing sauce when mixed with butter.
