Anyone done this? They're tortilla chips dusted with Carolina Reaper Pepper, which measure 2.2 mill on the Scoville scale. For comparison sake the ghost Pepper comes in at 1 mill, while the jalapeño is under 3k. I was at a Halloween party last night and someone brought a bunch. I ate one along with a bunch of my friends and while I won't say it was a mistake, it was pretty GD ridiculous. Never experienced anything like that. It felt like someone had set my head on fire. Not just my mouth, my face and neck were burning. Eyes watering, nose running, it was like getting hit with riot gas. I've eaten some pretty hot foods before, I've never experienced a spicy/burning sensation like that. I didn't really think something like that was possible. And when it finally does subside the other effects like sweating/cheeks and eyebrows burning seemed to return intermittently for nearly an hour.
All that said, it was definitely a fun thing to do with some friends. The reactions were pretty hilarious. One girl was literally on her hands and knees crying. There are some pretty funny reaction videos out there to give you an idea. Just curious if anyone has done it. Dont think I'd do it again but the unintentional comedy/adrenaline rush made it worth it.

Saw that this morning, the reactions don't surprise me. Just watching the reaction videos is making my forehead sweat hahaha. It was intense to say the least.
That said I doubt these chips are anywhere close to the real Pepper.

I'm sure it's not like eating the actual pepper but it's easily the hottest thing I've ever eaten. It wasn't even like eating spicy food to be honest.
This. Your shphinctor might catch fire.

I hadn't seen him before. Just watched a few of his clips. Mostly eats dumb shir and ends up puking. Amusing.
Ate 2 red habaneros a couple years ago on an empty stomach. So painful, but more internally than in the mouth. I drank milk ... shortly after, vomited and felt a ton of relief.
Just your body saying, "Fuuuuck no." (I guess.)
I don't know. You ever ate three Carolina reapers and chugged a fifth of fireball?
He's actually quit making drinking videos because he's apparently gave up alcohol. Honestly he seems like a good guy... based on what I've seen from him.
