  I’m the “spicy guy” of my circle of people I know, so I always get brought in the challenge things and hottest x to try. Had the gummies and jerky, and beer, and all sorts of things. The chip has been the only one that I’d actually say was hot. Mouth was fine, but it made my stomach hurt for like 10 minutes.

    Lucky you. My experience was the first 20 minutes were bad, but tolerable, then my stomach hurt like a mother fucker for an hour, then I projectile vomited and sat in the shower for like an hour+. Went to bed after that. It was like 5PM.

      Yeah. I do very hot sauces on about everything I eat. Love the stuff and I think I don’t react to capsaicin like most people. I ate that chip on a completely empty stomach in the morning and that’s what caused my stomach to hurt, I think. I just popped it in my mouth expecting it to be not really any hotter than all the other spicy challenge stuff. I was surprised they made a “challenge” chip actually that hot.

    There are worse experiences.

    One Chip challenge was no big deal to me. 9M Scoville Lil Nitro Gummy was much hotter but I did it without regret. 16M Scoville CaJohns Trouble Bubble bubble gum felt like it was roughly the same heat as the gummy. I completed the challenge blowing a bubble, but soon after started puking lava. There was regret. 😄

      Trouble bubble is another one of those BS lies. Pure capsaicin is 16 million scoville. The gum uses a tiny amount of it in the gum. It’s the smallest added ingredient in the gum. Diluted from the gum it’s nowhere near 16 million scoville anymore. They still left it extremely hot, but nowhere near 16 million. I’m surprised it made you vomit since you don’t swallow much of the heat juice. Make your lips hurt though from blowing that bubble.

        I’m not sure how the Scoville system measures it exactly since of course no pepper or anything else is going to be pure capsaicin. Is it based on the number of milligrams of capsaicin within a serving or what? Certainly a tiny sliver of Carolina Reaper is different than eating the whole thing but it’s considered a 2.2M pepper regardless.

        In any event I’ve eaten straight reapers and done the 2022 One Chip challenge - the blue tongue one - without issue. The Lil Nitro gummy is way, way hotter than a reaper or the One Chip challenge, and the Trouble Bubble seemed about the same as the Lil Nitro gummy and its the only thing I’ve ever eaten that got a reaction out of me so I wouldn’t call it BS. Can your taste buds really distinguish between an unnatural 9M or 16M scoville anyway? The gum is devious in that you have to chew it a long time to get the sugar out of it and make it pliable enough to blow a bubble. You make and swallow a lot of saliva filled with lava during that time. I’m sure that’s what made me puke. Whatever it’s rating should be - if the 16M is inaccurate - there’s nothing mild about it. I can guarantee you eat it and you won’t call it BS. 😄
