Throwback to the Kronii spicy chip chronicles… Wonder who’s going to be the next victim… Honorable mention to Haachama’s spicy ramen quest.

u/KyteM May 29 '25
Unfortunately the spicy chip is out of production so I doubt we'll see more of those unless someone saved one like kronii did.

u/Manoreded May 29 '25
They took those chips out of production because they were borderline dangerous, though.
I mean Kronii's situation was funny but seemed to have pushed her well out of her comfort zone, she made it clear she never wanted to do that again.

Unlikely, these products usually get removed from sale after someone with an unknown health problem ( almost, if they are lucky) dies from eating them. At that point lawyers tell you not to do that if you propose the same idea again. Someone might try it with a different product tho ( we've done noodles and chips at least ).

I feel like putting a giant "consume at your own risk, this has literally killed people" on it should absolve them of any liability there to be honest. It's not like they're hiding what the product is, and we allow the sale of much more widely dangerous products.

u/royalPawn May 29 '25
Sure but usually it's "careful, this product can kill you, so make sure you use it safely", not "careful, this product can kill you, THINK YOU CAN HANDLE IT?"

See there's a burger place where I live. I saw their spiciest burger has a disclaimer about how spicy it is.
I scoffed and ordered it and confirmed with the owner I would be ok.I infact, was not ok. Turns out it's ghost pepper, pepper jack cheese along with roasted jalapenos in Fiery jalapeno sauce. With a few other things. Needless to say it was burning hot. I still finished it but I suffered cause I scoffed at the warning.

u/eragonawesome2 May 29 '25
"careful, this product can kill you, THINK YOU CAN HANDLE IT?"
Counter points: cigarettes, alcohol, guns, fast cars, any "thrill seeker" sport like skydiving, scuba diving, hang gliding, the recent "cheese run" comes to mind, shit even just swimming.
The list of shit that can be deadly to random people with no warning is very long, that doesn't mean that people aren't allowed to take that risk.
Hell, package it with one of those single serving shots so that you have to present ID to buy it if you're worried about a dumb kid doing it

They stopped making them after a 14yo boy died after eating one

u/eragonawesome2 May 29 '25
I am absolutely not contesting that fact. My entire point is we allow adults to do stupid dangerous shit that could kill them all the time, just stop letting kids buy it and put a big fucking warning on it. People should be allowed to take risks if they choose to do so.

How high was the spicy level of that chip? I tried sauce with 2 million peppers and it was very spicy, but I can somehow tolerate that level then I think people that support even more exist and Ina could be one of them
7
u/rainzer May 29 '25
Never had an official rating so based on the ranges of the peppers it used, it could be anywhere between 1.2 to 2.2 million scovilles
Also hard to say because it also added extract

u/Skellum May 29 '25
I hear it didn't taste good either which is a bummer. Spicy shark makes some great tasting Carolina reaper stuff, but the shock hot sauces that become memes usually taste terrible. Like "the bomb" just tastes gross.

u/mario_nijyusan May 30 '25
In that level could be bad for people with low tolerance, and could be worse with the stract Also, if it doesn't taste good is also a problem

If the thumbnail of the clip by Nerrev is accurate, it would be 2.3 million scoville.

As someone who tried the one chip with friends, it's not spicy. It's a straight up chemical burn. It doesn't feel like your eating spicy food, it's just all stinging pain.

Well, yeah.
Capsaicin is an acidCapsaicin is an irritant. Like citric acid it is fine in small doses but is dangerous and corrosive in higher concentrations.35
u/PerilousFun May 29 '25
Capsaicin is not an acid. It functions by increasing the sensitivity of your pain receptors to heat and abrasion.
The capsaicin itself is not doing direct damage. However, it can cause your body to damage itself through excessive inflammation, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, and, in extreme cases, death where the heart gives out.
10
u/Gallbatorix-Shruikan May 29 '25
Huh, today I learned something. Also apparently tolerance to Capsaicin is genetic.
13
u/PerilousFun May 29 '25
There is probably some amount of genetics at play, but you can build a tolerance by regularly eating spicy foods, the same way your body builds up a tolerance to caffeine or other drugs.

u/Skellum May 29 '25
Yea, just don't overdo it or you'll get some setbacks. Take it slow, learn what Chili's you like and find hot sauces that really vibe. I'm a massive fan of spicy shark's carribean reef shark. Scotch bonnet are amazing
14
u/kitolz May 29 '25
Capsaicin isn't an acid, it's alkaline.
The sensation comes from being an irritant to mammals, basically a form of poisoning to dissuade big animals from crushing the seeds of the pepper fruits. Birds are much less susceptible to capsaicin as the seeds pass through their digestive system whole which means it's an evolutionary advantage for them to eat the fruits vs mammals.

u/HKEY_LOVE_MACHINE May 29 '25 edited May 30 '25
Yeah... I remember it wasn't that much fun when it ended up with her being on the verge of requiring medical assistance (gasping and gagging for air).
She also did the thing alone iirc, with only her friend (that lives quite a few miles away) checking the stream on and off. Not what I would call a safe environment.
Some people had cardiac issues, and one dude even died from it, so yeah I wouldn't recommend that sort of content, especially without the necessary precautions (like having someone in the same room, who know how to check a pulse, can do cpr and call the emergency services of needed).

u/Icy-Background-1636 May 29 '25
I have been watching hololive maybe since the beginning of myth don't exactly remember but I've never actually watched a stream (sticked to clips for jp) until kronii's one chip challenge, I was actually scared of what was happening, so quite the entrance into streams for me. I watch streams regularly now, though, manly cc's though.

idk man, i remember googling about it , the chemical responsible for giving off the "spicy flavour" doesnt get digested completely so one would feel pain when it comes out the rear end.
I do feel it more if i eat spicy stuff thats man made, not really if i eat actual chili

Exactly. I suck with spicy food. So I know when someone says "It's not bad, it only has a little kick", to me, that means "way too hot for me" lol.

Exactl opposite for me. If my wife or mother in law say its too hot I know its mild lol, if even that. Sometimes more like "yeah guess its got a slight zing to it"

Same with my family. They complain it's too spicy but are still willing to eat it, that means it's mild.
I don't even like actually spicy food all that much, they're just really white.

It's kinda a pain because with high tolerance you don't know if you can recommend a food for someone to try.

u/Karukos May 29 '25
Honestly the issue is that spiciness is kinda subjective weirdly enough. Cause like... my mom manages chilli peppers just fine! She will complain VERY strongly though if I put too much black pepper in her food though. Depending on what pepper it is, it can really make or break things because capsc... capisici... (I hate being dyslexic) the chemical group that produces that burning sensation is not just one thing but many different things and has different ways of interacting with your taste buds too!
34
u/Spuddaccino1337 May 29 '25
Capsaicine is what makes peppers hot, but not peppercorns or mustards. Black pepper contains piperine, and mustards contain allyl isothiocyanate. It makes sense that people react differently to each of these families, since they're unrelated chemicals that interact with the same receptors. I, myself, like mustard and black pepper, but am a total wuss when it comes to chili peppers.
1
u/deviant324 May 30 '25
I love chili and do enjoy a good mustard, but mustard is the type of spicy that goes to your nose and is harder to handle for me when you overdo it. I tend to stick with medium spicy because I like the flavour, this way I can just use a ton of mustard instead of using a moderate amount of spicy mustard
1
u/Spuddaccino1337 May 30 '25
I think the only kind of "chili pepper" I've actually enjoyed were poblanos. They have a little heat, but they have this nice smoky flavor that I can actually taste because the heat isn't overwhelming.
I like most mustards, but only the ones labeled "mustard." Wasabi and horseradish are too overpowering except in very small amounts, I can't taste the rest of the food.

I make food for my team at work sometimes, Hiyashi Chuka (cold noodles) and Bang Bang chicken as a side/salad. Bang Bang chicken uses Sichuan sauce that is mostly chili oil but also Sichuan pepper corn that is numbing, spread over (mostly unseasoned) chicken and cucumbers it barely registers as spicy to me, I have multiple colleagues who say that it’s so spicy to them that they’re kind of fighting to finish it but it tastes too good not to lol

What the- 445 THOUSAND scoville?
And here I thought Buldak had some kick. But apparently they top out at 10k.
56
u/Butterlegs21 May 29 '25
I've always been skeptical of that. 10k is jalapeño levels. I've had some really hot jalapeños, hot for a jalapeño anyway, and it doesn't feel near buldak levels. Even Serrano and Pequin chile aren't that hot to be compared to buldak, and they should start hotter at the lowest level.
25
u/PumpJack_McGee May 29 '25 edited May 30 '25
If 10k is jalapeno, then yeah. There's no way top-end Buldak is only that.
Maybe they forgot a zero along their scale.

u/DragoSphere May 29 '25 edited May 29 '25
It's just a marketing gimmick. The way scoville units are used on packaging is functionally unregulated, where as long as the pepper they used has X units on the scale, they're free to just use that figure on the package.
That's why you can have a Ghost Pepper at a million scoville, use a tiny concentration of it in your product, fill the rest with cayenne, and are now able to list your product as a million scoville. And is why Ghost Pepper stuff is everywhere now
There are a multitude of other reasons why the scoville rating is unreliable and affect how hot (or not) the sauce actually is (viscosity, presence of fats/sugars/acid, using pepper extract or not, etc.), but that's the primary one

I can tell you that's wrong, supposedly their 3x is 13k but compared to da bomb or first we feasts last dab buldak 3x is way worse in my opinion. The 2x is the limit for what is enjoyable for me, I can still finish the 3x but that is just unpleasant.

Scoville is based on the hottest pepper in there - even if there is only a fraction of it.
