Can’t blame Tide pods for this one.
That warning label is also on the packaging itself.
The kid was stupid.
Can you imagine the boardroom:
“Guys I got a great idea. Let’s make a chip that so hot, that people puke their guts out, and it sets their digestive tract on fire.”
“BRILLIANT! Let’s do it!”
Since they took it off the shelves, you can go online and buy it, and it’s like $40 per package.
Probably Covid.
Or the clot shot.
:)
It does not raise alarm to me.
one person has died, and we don’t even know why. Company has been around since 2008 and sold lots of chips. For all we know the kid ate something else too, or maybe he had a case of myocarditis that was undiagnosed, and the chip was coincidental. If these chips were deadly we likely would have known before now.
According to wikipedia:
Paqui is an American brand of tortilla chips made by Amplify Snack Brands, Inc, a subsidiary of The Hershey Company. Its Carolina Reaper chips, sold individually wrapped, was known for being one of the spiciest flavors sold.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Doug Lyon, a veteran of the advertising industry, and Alissa Bassana founded Paqui in Austin in 2008.[10] SkinnyPop acquired Paqui in 2015, after which Lyon became the parent company’s vice president of creative and innovation.[11] After SkinnyPop later reincorporated as Amplify Snack Brands, The Hershey Company acquired Amplify in 2017.[12]
A 14 year old is not a “child” in the physical sense. His body is likely more resilient than a older adult.
What the hell was in that?
How about the Volcano Jump Challenge, or the Fistful of Fentanyl Challenge?
How about a clogged heart due to “vax” causing leading to a heart attack unders stress from the chip?
Still looking for more Blair’s Death Rain Habanero potato chips. A small bag of those will light you up with a sweet touch at the end. Out of stock for years.
I was on board until I saw the cost of one chip. Nope.
Sprinkle that stuff all around as an obesity treatment.
I can handle the hotness in the mouth but it’s in the intestines that is the reason I would never do it. You’ll suffer for hours as opposed to a few minutes.
Carolina Reaper and Naga Viper peppers
Pure Capsacin has a scoville level of 16,000,000.
Below from
The Carolina Reaper is the current official hottest pepper in the world. How hot? With a heat range from 1,400,000 to 2,200,000 Scoville heat units, the Reaper is hotter than many defensive pepper sprays
Naga Viper - It sounds like a crazy pepper joke, but this extreme chili – a wicked offspring of the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, Naga Morich, and ghost pepper (Bhut Jolokia) – sits among the hottest of the hottest (900,000 to 1,382,118 Scoville heat units)
To be sure, with certain foods there is ample irritation at the other end to spoil what otherwise would be pleasant. “When will I learn . . . ?”
My chip will probably remain unopened. Discontinuation just makes it more valuable.
No, the kid was a kid.
The company was stupid to make such a product, and then to sell it in a little coffin.
“When you say it out loud beforehand, that makes it premeditated”.
One would love to be the mom’s attorney in the wrongful death suit. They’ve already admitted culpability, what a nice thing of them to do.
Well, to be fair, their brains aren’t fully developed yet. Don’t think I’m defending the teen, because I’m not.
