      So may peanuts, but I don’t think we should label peanuts with “may cause death”?

      There are too many nuances and exceptions to everything for such a warning to be meaningful. Most things can kill you, doesn’t mean they will unless you got some other medical condition or do something unreasonable.

      Probably because unless you’re 1 out of several million people that have eaten the chip, you aren’t going to die because you ate something spicy.

        It also says “face the Reaper” and “any last words?” Guess they need to be more explicit and add an asterisk that says “face the Reaper*”

        *seriously this chip will kill you

          Or at least not mocking it.

          Look at the label “what to expect.”

          Your eyes swelling shut is called “viper hypnosis.” Severe stomach cramps is like “stomach ouchies” or something, with an image of little guy curled up on the floor.

            It’s designed for proper chilliheads to test their mettle, anyone experienced with spicy food should be well aware of what to expect already.
