Board 8 > Carolina Reaper Madness chip

(+) Yeah! (+)

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.

There's only the one chip at a time. I won a second one a couple of days later, but that's going to my cousin's (adult) son.

Right, so there's this brand of chips called Paqui. They use hot peppers as a major ingredient. They have a promotion where you could either buy (now sold out) or win a chip that used the Carolina reaper pepper. There's a contest where you can win a year's supply of their regular chips and a neon sign.

I wasn't interested in the contest, but I wanted to try the chip. Now I have.

Also burns on the back end. Just saying.
