In any event I can say the 2022 One Chip challenge and eating a dried Carolina Reaper seems about the same to me. Only did the chip once but Iāve done reapers a couple times and theyāre certainly hot, but Iāve never struggled with anything hot. Doesnāt bother me in the restroom either like so many others⦠not sure why. The one time I did the gummy⦠way hotter than a pepper or the One Chip. Not even close. Wouldnāt recommend to anyone that found the chip or a straight pepper an issue. And the gum? Like I said itās devious in how much capsaicin youāre forced to swallow while trying to get to the place to blow a bubble. About 5 minutes after completing the challenge my stomach started to feel like there was a balloon inside it. Told my wife Iām either gonna have a monster burp or Iām gonna puke and then the evacuation started. Iād do it again probably if I had someone doing it with me just to be entertained by their reaction, and to see if my stomach would respond the same way again. Wouldnāt recommend to anyone that hasnt challenged themselves at extreme levels already though. The one I ate was no joke.
