Company pulls spicy One Chip Challenge from store shelves as Massachusetts investigates teen's death

These things were rough for me. I took a little pinky nail sized nibble and felt like dying for 15 minutes.

My friend ate an entire chip in one throw, paused, said, “yeah it’s kinda hot” and then just went on as if nothing happened. No clue how.

I think there may be some genetic variation. I am pretty weak when it comes to spicy food but some kinds I seem to be immune to, for example those hot M&Ms I cannot taste but my friends did.

You might be right. There are three currently known different kinds of spicy.

Still plenty of unknowns at play though. There might be situations whereby an apparent immunity is suddenly lacking.

Thank you, that is a rabbit hole I am excited to investigate further!
