The Bottom Line
The Paqui One Chip Challenge is a social media challenge that involves consumption of an extremely spicy tortilla chip. The chip contains capsaicin, a compound found naturally in chili peppers. Capsaicin consumption typically causes mouth and throat pain but can also result in more serious health problems including trouble breathing, esophageal damage, and heart problems. The manufacturer started pulling the product from store shelves in September 2023, following a death reported hours after a healthy teenager participated in the challenge.
