White people fundamentally do not understand how spice works, like I have eaten hot wings where the only flavor is spicy, a chemical spicy flavor completely disconnected from nature whose sole purpose is to cause pain.
Like in cuisines that have used spices for thousands of years, it's understood that spiciness is meant to complement the other flavors used in the dish. Like there are hot-as-fuck Sichuan dishes that are nevertheless easy to eat becuase making it really hot isn't the only consideration in the recipe.
Like for the sake of white people we can't let them have anymore exotic flavors. Think of what they will do to themselves if Sichuan peppercorns ever get really popular. They will create a tasteless chip with so much numbing power it will cause permenent jaw paralysis.
-
The one chip challenge is just macing yourself in the mouth for people who want to feel like they are above macing themselves in the mouth. I love spicy food but IMO once you start adding capsaicin extracts to anything, you've gotten lost somewhere.
-
White people just see spices as challenges (see also the cinnamon challenge) that are meant to be conquered. There is to be no joy in Anglo life, only heroic victories over the asiatic menace known as "flavor".
-
I've eaten bits of straight-up reaper that taste good because they're so strongly aromatic, and sauces that people ostensibly intended to taste good, but which taste like pool chemicals because it's full of capsaicin extract.
Anyway, just chop/mash/powderize actual peppers instead of doing dumb chemist shit with them.

that sounds like a good time. it would be cracker fugu

Ok real talk if one could concentrate and preserve the active chemical in sichuan peppercorns in a sauce that would actually be amazing. It's so hard getting the right amount cooked just enough, not to mention how they lose their potency pretty rapidly. Just being able to splash some sauce into a bowl of soup or drizzle it over a dish with whatever other seasoning sauces one wants would be so nice.
Unfortunately AFAIK it's too volatile and delicate for that.
-
Yeah, there's also the "only chilli exists" concept of spice the spice freaks have. I've seen them put chilli in hot mustard and even wasabi, which I'm pretty sure is a crime against humanity.
-
Yeah it is really hard to sort through hot sauces to find good ones that are really spicy.
I've actually switched to extremely spicy ground pepper flakes, like dangerous to leave open. They don't change the flavor at all, I put a nearly invisible amount onto my food, and rely on the rest of the recipe to provide good flavor

Reminds me of a guy I know who said that lead paint and lead pipes in housing are fine as long as the occupants sign a waiver because "people should get to decide for themselves whether they want to accept the risk" and that "it'd be an expensive waste of government money to remove"

I pointed out that his stance was anti-poor. His defense was "No it isn't, I'm poor myself." He owns 30 acres of land that his parents helped him pay for.
-
Isn't poor people dying how we test for botulism?
-
I love that I can buy a Brita filter and a hotplate to drink clean water in the US. That's real freedom!
-
-
Never criticizing the expensive waste of government money it was to use lead products in the first place. They just don't want to acknowledge that undoing harm is part of fixing a problem.
The fact that these things were allowed at all is the problem, not that it'll cost money to fix it.
-
That’s even dumber…
Just like you can choose between working and starving to death. Landlords know tenants can’t afford anywhere that isn’t actively killing you so why would they bother spending money to take out the lead?
-
-
Can't even enjoy hot chip while you lie anymore
-
Neither of those points make sense. The label didn't say, "This chip might kill you".
Nor is there evidence that the guy ate the equivalent of 3 bottles of whiskey in hot chips. The story I read implied he ate one chip, which is the amount the manufacturer intended you to eat, since they come in packages of one.
-
Nothing chuds like more than licking corporate boot. Speculating about preexisting conditions is their favorite pastime whether it’s a cop murdering somebody or dying from eating hot chip
And even if it did say that, it would be unenforceable.

Are anglos really that much of a pig for punishment where they line up to eat the pepperspray chip?
-
The American life is increasingly devoid of effective stimulus and thus self-destructive or seemingly self-destructive acts are used as stand-ins for "feeling alive".
-
wait what is the chip we're talking about here?
-
The one chip challenge that's like ghost pepper extract or what have you.
-
They beg porky to exploit them MORE, you tell me.

Take whiskey off the fucking shelves already

Alright now which one of you has been going around scratching the liberals again?

Freddy Krueger, but instead of a brick wall, he's dragging his claw against a bunch of

that's not even a treat it's volunterily undergoing torture to prove you're tough what the fuck
-
Somebody who's had Chipotle's red tomatillo, Popeye's ghost pepper wings, whatever Panda Express maxes out at if they even try, etc., might think that spicy is a slight tongue tingle and they're up for whatever the next company throws at them. Not entirely unlike kids who realize that DARE lied to them about weed and figure heroin's probably safe, too.

"did you KNOW they had to put a warning in super man costumes telling people it couldn't make them fly? Such IDIOCY am I right people are IDIOTS they are so STUPID and now I will say that Idiocracy was a DOCUMENTARY because of all these IDIOTS"
"Yes I think the problem with US healthcare is too much government regulation"

This is an American pastime: bitching and moaning about how everyone else is dumber than you. This is most clearly seen in driving, where everyone is somehow “above average”, according to themselves.
-
George Carlin had a bit about how people would confess to any sin except being a bad driver or not having a sense of humor
-
I am an above average driver because I would prefer trains, that's how I know

It's all down to personal responsibility with these assholes. And with labeling in this country, it's even worse. It's not even about the (poor) literacy here. It's all of the technicalities you have to figure out.
Nutrition facts don't help a much as they should because the proportions they list are unrealistic and the information requires a lot of understanding outside of the basics. Ingredient lists use euphemisms to get around telling you what you're consuming ('evaporated cane juice' is just sugar).
Coca-Cola won a lawsuit over Vitamin Water, the ruling stating that it doesn't have to be healthy.
So we live in a country where corporations are people, allowed to lie, and have a profit incentive to hide the truth. They also have the time and resources to make and find loopholes to get around regulations.
And god forbid you find a workaround as a consumer. They'll close the loop and then try to sue into oblivion if you find a way to reliably navigate the system.
But yeah, it's a random person's fault that they ate a chip and died.
-
The laws are meaningless. If you’re important enough you can have the courts interpret a law in two opposite ways depending on what you want.

FREEDOM
TO DIE-
Only if it doesn't inconvenience the consumption of treats.

- I like hot chip and whiskey

at least 90% of yanks deserve the wall. Which is really depressing without the red scare most of you would be decent commrades but then again I am from Germany and at least 95% of Germans deserve the wall (not saying that as an anti German because fuck those guys).
-
Socialism is when you want to ban hotchips.
-
They would gladly put any of us to death. I think it’s only fair to preempt that.
-
True. If it was to the general public of America we would be hunted for sport.

-
Were they not labled as "18+" as they are here? Why the heck did a kid eat them, then?
-
well you see the child simply ignored the warnings on the packet because of being a child and making bad decisions
I have also heard of cases where children and teenagers have ignored restrictions saying they can't drink and smoke because they aren't 18
-
He was 14.
At 14, I guarantee you did stupid shit. And at 14, I'm sure you didn't expect the grocery store to sell you food with fatal amounts of capsaicin in it.
It was a dumb idea, sure, but he was a fucking child and likely didn't think it would be legitimately dangerous.
-
no child has ever ignored an age warning for any reason
that's why there are no kids on social media

I think if eating a single chip could kill you based on a condition you might not know about or know that it could make things worse for you, it shouldn’t be sold. It’s not a slow death by junk food. It’s not an allergy situation, so some random kid might go “doc says I’m not allergic to chips, I’ll try it”.
Everyone implicitly understands that there’s a risk to riding a rollercoaster. I’d wager that the vast majority wouldn’t ever think you could die from eating something too spicy. I’d imagine the worst consequence in almost everyone’s minds would be feeling miserable for the next hour or so. Even if you know you have a condition you probably would not know that spice could kill you over it.
Your average person isn’t aware of the risk whether or not they have a preexisting condition and therefore cannot make an informed choice.
Plus the marketing on the packaging is designed to sell itself. It’s just a cool challenge to most people, nothing on the product itself would make you think it could kill you. The packaging needs to at least be similar to the diseased lungs they put on cigarettes these days.
-
-
It already says not for people under 18 on the packaging. Stores just need to have it behind the counter like cigs

the child ate the chip in the way instructed by the manufacturer

What the fuck even is a history book?
Al Capone was just just really into hot chip
italian mobsters born after 1931 can't hunt wolves all they know is lie, racketeer, and smuggle alcohol
He couldn't McDonald's or charge they phone back then, so he had to double down on eat hot chip and lie.
You say that this product shouldn’t be sold because it might kill you, but have you considered that this other thing might kill you too? I am very smart.
