The Spiciest Tortilla Chip Ever Created


Single Carolina Reaper tortilla chip sold in a coffin shaped box

If you heard about a chip so spicy they sold it in packages of one, would you try it?

That question is no longer a fantasy thanks to the new chip made from the infamous Carolina Reaper pepper. The pepper has inspired more than a dozen YouTube tastings gone horribly wrong and is supposedly so hot that the individually wrapped chip is sold in a box that looks like a tiny coffin.

Just remember, if you do try it, make sure to get some milk or ice cream for after. Drinking water, as those YouTubers found out, just spreads the spice further around your mouth.
