I did the one chip challenge the second year they released it. I'm sure they've made it spicier since then. My mouthfeel was fine (I've eaten raw Carolina Reapers before, so my datum is a bit skewed compared to the typical person). However, I stupidly ate it on an empty stomach and I had terrible cramps for the rest of the day. Do not recommend.

Paqui, the company that makes it, has a normal spicy chip called Haunted Ghost Pepper. I use those to make microwave nachos.

I ate this atrocious beast:

I still have like three crumbs, but I ain't touching them 😆😆

I'd try it, but definitely eat a bowl of oatmeal first.

I love those paqui ghost pepper chips. They are seriously tasty.

I've never tried a one chip challenge though.

Oh man those are soooo spicy but decent. They do lack something and come up a bit flat, so I bet the nachos would fix it.

If you love the flavor of ghost peppers, try the Blue Diamond ghost pepper almonds.

I do you one better: try the Carolina Reaper almonds. They’re hot as heck and taste so good.

Same brand? Bc I love reapers too.

Yup! Same brand!
