How much is the worlds hottest chip

This Fiery Friday Favorite is our hottest edition yet thanks to Paqui’s One Chip Challenge, how hot are these chips?

The infamously hot tortilla chips have returned and it’s back with a vengeance, are your taste buds up for the challenge? Paqui sent us a package of goodies, including two of its fiery hot chips and we accepted the challenge. Well, sort of.

Whenever a product pleasantly surprises us, we give it our feature spot of Friday Favorite. But this Friday Favorite is not like any of the others, it’s a Fiery Friday Favorite, the first of its kind — and we truly don’t believe anything else can top it.

The Paqui #OneChipChallenge is back for 2020 and it’s daring the bravest spicy fans to take on a bite or two (or the whole chip) of this tortilla chip.

Are you up to it or need more details? Either way, we break down everything you need to know, below.

Where can you purchase the #OneChipChallenge from Paqui?

These are available at retail stores nationwide, including at 7-Eleven and Kroger stores. And beginning Sept. 22, you can also purchase them online, while supplies last.

How spicy is the #OneChipChallenge chip?

Think of the spiciest food you have ever had and multiply it by three. When I said I “sort of” accepted this challenge, is because I instead enlisted my husband and brother to battle it out.

I love hot sauce, spicy nuggets, and hot chips here and there, but  I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of spicy food. That said, I just knew I would not survive this challenge! Besides, it was a lot more fun watching (and filming) my husband and brother hold back tears.

The site and chip label advises that you wear gloves when handling the spicy chip to avoid getting any powder on your skin or eyes, and be sure you wash your hands with soap and water immediately after. Keep a cold glass of milk handy, too!

How much do the #OneChipChallenge chips cost?

These will be priced at just $6.99 a chip! Each package also includes a coupon for a free bag of Paqui’s everyday chips flavors, which I also received and enjoyed! But who is the Haunted Ghost Pepper flavor spicy!

The Haunted Ghost Pepper flavor is the spiciest and most popular flavor of Paqui’s chips. If I barely made it through those, imagine me taking on the challenge. No thanks!

  • The latest feat of physical strength to make its way around the internet is the 'One Chip Challenge,' a test that involves consuming the hottest chip in the world - a snack from Paqui Chips made from the Carolina Reaper pepper. Among those brave enough to try it is Shaq, who completed the challenge on live TV. Watch him eat the chip in the video above.

    Shaquille O'Neal took on the challenge as a bet against his co-host on Inside the NBA, “Chuck, I’ll bet you $20 USD I bite a chip, won’t even make a face.” True to his claim, Shaq did not make a face - though a violent coughing fit may or may not have violated the terms of his bet.

    Calling all fearless foodies! Paqui Tortilla Chips has announced the return of its infamous #OneChipChallenge, daring heat seekers (or those wanting to spice up their social media content) to consume a single, individually wrapped “high voltage chip” seasoned with two of the hottest peppers in the world. 

    Aptly named “The Reaper,” the 2022 tortilla chip is spiced with the Carolina Reaper Pepper and Scorpion Pepper which both register nearly 2 million blazing Scoville heat units. The rules of the challenge are simple yet stinging: Eat the entire chip, wait as long as possible before drinking or eating anything for relief, and post the reaction on social media using the #OneChipChallenge hashtag.

    The One Chip Challenge was first introduced by the Hershey Co. subsidiary in 2016 and took over the internet with thousands of masticating masochists participating in the viral dare. To prevent cheating, this year’s chip even turns players’ tongues bright blue. 

    "Each year, the team here at Paqui raises the bar and develops an intensely thrilling challenge that pushes the fearless to their limit," said Brandon Kieffer, Paqui Senior Brand Manager, in a statement. "Fans be warned, this year's chip isn't for the faint of heart and there's no cheating the test. Only the bravest will be able to prove they faced the Reaper when they show off their blue tongue after completing the challenge."

    #onechipchallenge has officially destroyed my internals

    @paquichips is NOT screwing around. I went through the #onechipchallenge and my tongue felt like it was dipped in corrosive acid. I also woke up to my smoke alarm in the middle of the night because my insides were on fire. Easily the hottest thing I've ever eaten.

    While Paqui’s website cheekily boasts that the chip was “created for the shocking pleasure of intense heat and pain,” it isn’t all fun and games. Considering the Carolina Reaper holds the Guinness World Record for the world’s hottest pepper and is bred to be 100 times spicier than a jalapeno, the capsaicin-cursed chip challenge has a history of casualties including multiple hospitalizations for post-consumption symptoms including loss of consciousness, seizures, and intense vomiting.

    THIS CHIP IS SERIOUSLY HOT! Initial goal was to attempt to hold out for 10 minutes after eating the chip before drinking or eating anything. Was able to last 30 minutes although I wasn't expecting to. I believe that my preparation was key.
