Not looking to bite into a raw one, but would definitely try it in a sauce.
Those things look evil.
That video is priceless.. the dude describing how he ate one of those whole and then was in pain for hours later.

Agree, would try it in a sauce.

And yeah, they do look a little evil.

I myself have done the "One Chip Challenge" several times, being someone who enjoys very spicy food. It's a ridiculously stupid thing to do for nearly all people, but the damn packaging has warnings all over it that kids and people with sensitivities to chili peppers should not eat it.

Apparently, in the teenager's case, him and his 12-year-old brother were allowed to purchase said chip without adult consent.

I have very mixed feelings about this.
Nut allergies are pretty common and in some cases can be deadly, but nuts are everywhere (calm down) and in everything (I know) last I checked a 12 yr old can still purchase a Snickers bar in a gas station so I guess from that standpoint I would be against restricting the sale of this Devil chip.

On the other hand, having a chip so insanely spicy it might kill you seems like a risk not exactly worth taking.

And even more to the point people and their desire to build their entire personality around how spicy their food is should be kept in a secure facility and not allowed to mix with the rest of us.

Anyway, Achewood already covered this https://achewood.com/assets/img/07072006.png
