This chip has been on the market for literal years at this point and no one has died until now. I'm open to new information but I think it might be a case where the chip formula has changed, or maybe this was a condition they didn't know the child had, or any number of things.
I like spicy things. Sometimes what I enjoy is dangerous for others. I grieve for the child's parents and friends, but am waiting for more information to confirm that it was entirely the chip to blame.
I also think that we should remember that parents should be supervising these things. If my 11-year-old asked to do the challenge, I would've rightfully tried him first on something spicy that's much less spicy than this. I want to know what all this kid has tried before this challenge. If this was his first exposure to spicy things, then I think it's reasonable to be unsurprised. If that's not the case, I want to know.
It surprises me that it is possible for capsaicin to kill someone. Maybe it is something else or a combination of things but I await further evidence.
I do like to eat spicy but I top out somewhere around habaneros. It would be good to know if the peppers might kill me. I already think I'm pretty careful with them, but I'll be more so if there's real danger.
Unfortunate for this kid. Best wishes to his family.
Quick! Build walls around Italy and establish guard posts demanding visa/passports to all living beings trying to cross the border in order to stop immigration…
Ah yes, just in time to fuck up the recipes even more through cost cutting!
Not to say that the original Twinkie recipe wasn’t just some kind of industrial waste, but you get my drift. These kind of buyouts literally never result in a higher quality product. It’s just one more thing for J.M. Smucker to drive into the ground for profit.
Good, get your leisure while you’re young and have your life ahead of you.
This whole “sell your body back to society and then maybe you’ll get some free time in your old age where you can no longer do much” is such a sick sad joke.
As someone who became disabled in their early 30s, I wish more people understood this.
Don't wait to live your life. You never know if you'll be able to later. I am endlessly grateful for my younger self traveling while I was still able to do so, even if I was broke.
It’s somewhat relieving to see Chinese are struggling with similar issues as Germans. It takes the pain a bit. However, driven by a different factor. Here it’s housing prices and inflation. There it’s jobs.
Huh, really goes to show how insulary our social circles can be. I struggle think of a time anyone I know has ever bought a Twinkies, let alone its ownership would sell for a hotly-contended 5.6 billion.
