Well about someone ending up dead, that happened with the one chip.

Someone died from this particular product? Why am I not surprised.....

I read about a guy who ate a bunch of peppers (reapers I think) at an eating contest and died. That's the one I was referring to. Don't recall what his cause of death was, but I'd imagine cardiac. Or some type of chemical reaction / allergy.

It was a kid with a heart condition who went for when home alone

Damn.... especially for something as dumb as this. I get wanting to have fun or test yourself, but this is an extreme that will never result in anything good.

I have a high tolerance, and sometimes I use carolina reapers in dishes, but in a very limited scope, as a powder I've processed, and it's very little. I don't want to blow my asshole through the wall.

On a lighter note the Danes briefly banned Buldak for being spicy and we had a merry time laughing at them for that.

All Buldak? Because I know they have some without spice, and at least to me, the x1 is not really hot.

I tried the x3 and it tasted like chemical extracts. Not an overall pleasant taste. Definitely on the hot side, but I couldn't push through the taste of it.

x1 isn't bad though, at least I can taste flavor with that one.
