What is the Hot Chip Challenge? – Everything you need to know before you try it
The Hot Chip Challenge is one of the hottest viral challenges right now – literally. It involves eating a single chip so spicy it makes your eyes water, sweat pour, and social media explode.
But what exactly is the Hot Chip Challenge, and why has it become so popular? Here’s the full answer – plus tips, warnings, and links to our most popular products from Butikkom.
What is the Hot Chip Challenge?
The challenge involves eating a chip made with some of the world's strongest chili peppers – primarily Carolina Reaper and Trinidad Moruga Scorpion. These register over 2 million Scoville units, which is several hundred times spicier than a jalapeño.
Why has Hot Chip gone viral?
Hot Chip has spread like wildfire via TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. People film themselves trying the chip and reacting with everything from laughter to panic. The combination of fearful delight and challenge makes it a perfect social media trend.
How spicy is the Hot Chip?
The intensity of the Hot Chip cannot be compared to regular spicy snacks. Ingredients include:
- Carolina Reaper (2.2 million SHU)
- Trinidad Scorpion (up to 2 million SHU)
- Chili extract and activated charcoal
Many recommend having milk or ice cream ready – water won't help much.
Who should avoid the challenge?
The Hot Chip is not suitable for children, pregnant women, people with heart problems, or sensitive stomachs. Seriously. Follow the warnings on the packaging carefully and never eat it alone.
