I was reading random news articles this weekend and came across an interesting little 'foodie' tidbit. Tortilla chip maker Paqui chips has made a chip so spicy, they're selling it as an individual chip.
It's called the Carolina Reaper Madness chip because it's made with the Carolina Reaper pepper, often listed as the hottest variety on Earth.
Since it's made with the hottest chili in the world, it's sold as a single chip. Yes, a single, solitary chip. The solo chip comes in its own wrapper, placed inside a coffin-shaped box featuring a drawing of the Grim Reaper on the package, and across the top, it reads, "Inside: One deadly chip."
Priced at $4.99 a chip, you can check out their website to see if they sell at a location near you: http://paqui.com/
