"We ate the world's spiciest chip, cried for 45 minutes, then
wrote this article about it" (via R.S.):
[T]he Austin, Texas based tortilla chip company Paqui (rhymes with hockey)
has what can only be described as a delicious form of torture in store
for you. Their Carolina Reaper Madness Tortilla Chip is a savory mix of not one, but two
of the world’s hottest peppers. It combines the aforementioned ghost
pepper with the even hotter variety for which the chip gets its name;
the Carolina Reaper. Chipotle pepper powder (which is essentially a
dried and aged jalapeno pepper) is added for additional flavor. So for
that very brief moment before the heat actually kicks in, your torture
tortilla chip is pretty tasty. The company claims that it is the hottest
tortilla chip in the world.
