    This chip isn’t merely “very spicy food”, it is explicitly designed to be a challenge. One single chip costs $10 and the packaging is literally shaped like a coffin.

      Sure, but people also eat the hottest peppers in existence and are fine… medically speaking.

      Like, yeah, it probably puts some strain on your body, but by itself I don’t think it should be majorly harmful.
