So he died of a heart defect, exacerbated by high capsaicin intake.
Thank you for fixing the headline! 👍
As a chili pepper lover myself I absolutely do not get this garbage trope of treating chili pepper consumption as some kind of contest. The idea is to add heat to your food - not prove your pathetic “manliness.”
In my opinion, anything above Habanero is just pointless masochism for no good reason at all.

Idk man I agree otherwise, but tolerances rise. And different chilis taste different. Habanero has a nice, sweet taste, and naga yolokia has a bit sharper taste.
So it very much depends.
I don’t try to make “hot” food, but wanting a bit of heat in every meal has lead to my tolerances rising and Habanero just not cutting it for proper heat. (I think the heat is good when you
almostfeel it in your nipples.)(I think the heat is good when you ~~almost~~ feel it in your nipples.)
Sorry what?
When the food is so spicy that at first you start sweating a bit on your face and then the heat slowly spreads from your face. So at the point when it’s enough to reach your nipples, the spiciness of the dish is just right.
Well I have to hand it to you, there’s a kind of mad logic to it!
Oh this goal is something I decided after having experienced it.
Don’t know if there’s logic to it, but it’s what I usually aim for. (Unless I’m busy the next day, because that usually requires an extended session on the porcelain throne the following day.)
What is it when I feel your nipples?

Wholesome 💯
I think ghost peppers have fun uses and the Carolina reaper almonds from diamond are actually delicious and not that spicy (guessing they use very little). I agree that the mega potent stuff is better used for spicing up a 3 lb pot of chili.
Wendy’s uses a lil tiny bit of ghost pepper in their ghost pepper ranch sauce and it’s actually a great flavor with some kick. Absolutely nowhere near as spicy as the actual pepper, of course. I’d put it maybe slightly above jalapeño?
Ghost peppers taste really good. There is a ghost pepper salsa I freaking love.

I agree and so does Aunty Donna:
Warning, this content contains some Australian language
You clearly never had Beef Rendang. It is a Indonesian/Malay dish, which is a lot like a coconut curry. It is unbelievably spicy purely looking at it and you start to sweat. But it tastes amazing and I firmly believe it wouldn’t taste the same without that level of heat. It is an incredibly intense experience and I guess literally not for those weak of heart. But if you ever get the chance I highly suggest you at least taste it is unbelievably tasty.
Eh. Habanero tastes like ass. I’ve had spicier peppers with better flavor. And plenty of people, including myself, occasionally enjoy something hotter. I have a decent tolerance for spice, so I can dial things up and still enjoy it.
Habanero tastes like ass.
Most of the ones I’ve had were pretty crap… but, rarely, it’s actually possible to find Habanero that tastes the way Habanero should. They’re pretty good.
Next time I find proper ones, I’m planting them.
Well that’s true, you can get a lot of varieties of peppers.
Can’t believe that comment garnered so many down votes tho. Some habanero lovers in the comments were very upset
As someone who regularly eats 1million+ Scoville chilies and sauces, these chips ain’t nothing to fuck with. It gave me the absolute worst stomach pains I’ve ever had, it was like the flu but worse. There’s gotta be something in those chips that at a level that’s not normal for peppers.
Yeah well, this guy was apparently trying to eat a whole country?
Boo
Yeah!
Saw some guy eat like 50 of em on youtube.
Its not a challenge if you can’t fail
This happened in August 2023.
High chile consumption
So, don’t eat an entire country. Got it.
Dont tell me what not to do!
No it’s totally okay to eat an entire country. Just not in one sitting, you have to spread it out over a few meals.

Eat Hot Chip and Die?
Hot Chip? I liked that “Over and Over” song they did.
Large doses of capsaicin can increase how the heart squeezes, putting extra pressure on the artery, noted Dr. Syed Haider, a cardiologist at MedStar Washington Hospital Center.
Is it the nerves or the muscles of the heart that have this reaction to capsaicin? And does it only target the heart?
I don’t think it’s a direct reaction. I think it’s much more likely that capsaicin induces stress and that messes with the heart.
He tried to eat Chile? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chile
This story has been edited to conform to AP style: chile, instead of chili.
WTF???
They actually changed it on purpose to be stupid?deleted by creator
If you mean Chili write Chili or Chilli, Chile is a country. Also why did AP feel they needed to change it, when the other spellings are equally correct, and more common.
That’s moronic.Chile as a spice is also near impossible to search for, you will get exclusively results that are spelled chilli or chili. So why opt for a spelling that in every way is worse?
Look up red or green Chile, it will show up in any search,and in new Mexico you will get slapped for spelling it chili because chili is Texas beans and meat not the flavorful Chile grown in the region
Those things are awful. They use charcoal in them and it tastes like snorting campfire ashes.

If you play stupid games you win stupid prizes.
Eating a tortilla chip probably shouldn’t kill you.
“Shouldn’t”. Yet here we are.
Tortilla chips probably shouldn’t need warning labels. Yet here we are.
I feel like you think you’re saying something profound, but it honestly doesn’t sound like you’re saying anything at all. What does this comment even mean?
He had a heart condition. The capsaicin triggered a reaction. He died.
It’s not like people are frequently dying because of spicy food. There are no shortages of spicy food eating challenges, and usually nobody gets hurt. It’s generally regarded as harmless, because it usually is.
This was a tragedy, but you’re acting like he deserved it or something. For eating a hot tortilla chip from the grocery store: a thing that never fucking kills people.
How is eating something you bought at a grocery store, which is labelled as food, playing stupid games?
