I posted that I'd won a Carolina Reaper chip from Paqui last month. (Those unfamiliar: http://paqui.com/onechipchallenge/ )

It came, I ate it. Yes, it's hot. I teared up and got a runny nose. The people who whoop and scream and flip their arms around are either wimps or just overselling it. But it's hot, and it lingers. As you can imagine, the burning happens at your lips, your gums, your tongue, and your throat.

Worth mentioning that it's also sweet, just like the Internet descriptions say. The flavor is fleeting, though, so it's not like eating a candy bar.
