"Are you looking for a world of pain?" Try munching on a Carolina Reaper Madness Chip ($5), the spiciest tortilla chip ever made, says Eustacia Huen at Forbes. Seasoned with Carolina Reaper peppers, which are at least 100 times hotter than jalapeños, each chip is packaged separately and sold by Paqui, a gourmet chip maker, in a coffinlike box that bears ample warning of the torture that awaits. If you're crazy enough to try it, "make sure you have your antidotes ready." Its creators wore gas masks while handling the peppers. Your mouth will thank you if you have limes or lemons on hand.
