Today I received my box from Paqui with my #OneChipChallege tortilla chips.
And with much excitement got right down to it with these hot lil'muthas.
It's a large crunchy tortilla chip caked with chile powder and seasonings, so powerful is the odor of capsaicin oils it can be smelled through the chip's wrapper.
When I opened the wrapper people several feet away choked up it was so powerful, my right eye must've caught some dust cause it reacted even before I ate the chip.
Both chip and seasoning looks to be artificially colored black.
The older style chips were similar in appearance to a highly seasoned, bottom of the bag, Doritos brand chip, and were much more appealing to the eye.
The taste of the spices are not flavorful, kind'a raw and very pungent, with none of the expected citrus of fresh Carolina Reaper chiles.
Paqui, this was a huge disappointment.
The heat needs to come with wonderful flavor of the Carolina reaper, at least add a squirt of lime or something.
The spices clawed at my throat and tongue the way a horribly tannic red wine does, but even worse.
At least if there'd been some flavor to savor it'd been a better experience overall.
The heat however did not disappoint, plenty of fire here, it'll definitely light ya up.
Be sure to prep your stomach before eating these, some dairy products and carbs should stick to ya and protect you from an upset stomach.
And yeah, I screwed up reading the promo flyer whilst upside down... 3 minute vs 30 minute.
So with further ado here is my #OneChipChallenge
