Tortilla chip brand Paqui says it is voluntarily removing its ultra-spicy “One Chip Challenge” from shelves after a Massachusetts family claims their 14-year-old son may have died from complications from the challenge.
hmmm maybe we shouldnt let companies and people sell whatever the fuck they want
Capsaicin olioresin which is basically a syrup of sorts made from the extracted oils will cause skin burns.
I used to have a job mixing oils to make fragrants mostly but we occasionally made the solution that went into police grade pepper spray and it was like 1 part olioresin capsaicin to 4 parts solvent. No one ever wanted to make the stuff so I did. I got the olioresin on my skin one time. It wasn't a lot. Just a few drops but it gave me something between a first and second degree burn.
I still eat a ton of spicy food though but only because I'm addicted and I hate myself.
Just for reference, pure capsaicin is 16 million scoville
So someone made a candy where over half of its mass is capsaicin. Even if you can stand the heat that cannot possibly taste good
Holy shit. You shouldn't even touch that.
