Authorities are raising the alarm about a social media challenge in which people eat extremely spicy chips and attempt to avoid eating or drinking anything for as long as possible

    Yeah, I can handle habaneros (at least Red Savina level) and those 2 reasons are why I never had the desire to try this. I’ve heard people say it smells and tastes gross. Then again, I’m put off by the vinegar/fermented taste of most hotsauces and many seem to like it (even in context where the taste doesn’t really have something to mix into).

    Even those spicy noodles I never tried due to higher cost and needing to order online, and I’m sure those actually taste good. Then again, if I want to “challenge” myself I could always just take normal food and add enough home-grown peppers (when I have them) or flakes/powder for free. Though I wouldn’t even go too far with that.

    Also this reminds me of a video by the BPL, where a guy had disgusting liquor (Malort) before the disgusting hot chip. For charity.
