  1. On todays news: one stupid clown ruins another good thing for everyone else 😂 the fact everyone is rationalizing this shows how much of a police state y’all want to live in

  2. The first warning on the package is "Keep out of the reach of children"…stupid people wins stupid prizes…

  3. Ok ban all hot sauce too.

  4. So are they going to pull alcohol off the shelves when someome dies?

  5. Peanuts have killed more kids. Let’s ban those and sue Planters whenever one dies.

  6. I AM SO GLAD IT’S OVER!!!!! FINALLY!!!! I REALLY HOPE THE CHALLENGE VIDEOS GET PULLED DOWN FROM YOUTUBE AND TIKTOK TOO!!!! ALSO INSTAGRAM!!!! AND THAT’S WHY WE DON’T TRUST SOME PEOPLE 😱😱😱😱😱😱.

  7. What a DUMB challenge! Now deadly challenge

  8. So here is how they died humans are not able to use capsaicin so we filter it through our liver i do believe but if there is WAY to much we cant do it fast enough and it can be life threatening at a certain point we need to not have super super spicy foods cut it off at the cherry pepper ok?

  9. Alright time to panic buy a few of these as who knows if they’ll ever come back after this

  10. Where are all the people who died from getting pepper sprayed at? Hmm

  11. Stop eating processed foods.

  12. This is all the more reason why it’s time for social media to die

  13. flamin hot cheetos are enough to light me up.

  14. Good to know that this “demon” chip has been removed!

  15. Imagine if an alcohol company pulled their product because one child died from it… no liquor for anyone.

  16. Eat a chip save the planet

  17. He ate like 20 something!

  18. The way she smiles the entire time is just… uncomfortable

  19. It's always the weak that mess it up for the rest of us. Just like the 4loko moment 😑

  20. I wonder if the kid had an undiagnosed or diagnosed stomach ulcer and that it burst, which can cause sudden stomach pain, and without emergency treatment, it can be fatal.

  21. It's called Carolina Reaper they need to expand distribution now not recall

  22. In preparation for the inevitable lawsuits…

  23. These chips are demonic

  24. He probably drank a monster or a redbull and vapped with it come on no one else has died just him they sell it at 711s

  25. He got what he deserved for being stupid. This generation hasn't got the common sense god gave them. Parents need to put their foot down and take responsibilty for their children and tell them No.

  26. I need this so I can die

  27. only suitable for adults, but comes in a coffin shaped box with the words "one chip challenge" on the front. Hmm…i mean i'm an adult and i have zero interest in any "challenges" but i know not everybody thinks like me.

  28. The chip is in a coffin shaped package how ironic

  29. I've eaten one of these. If you like spicy food, these chips are really not that hot. I have been served much hotter food in Indian/Thai/Vietnamese/Hotwing restaurants.

    Biting into a raw habenero is way, way, way worse than 1 of these chips, and you can buy those by the handful at any grocery store for about 60 cents…

    I understand Paqui's fears, and that poor family must be distraught. But the heat level of these chips is not dangerous by any stretch of the imagination.

    I hope the family figures out what caused his reaction and gets some closure.

  30. Its like being conscious during a coke Overdose is how i would describe it
