Eat at your own risk. | Midjourney

Some people think it is funny to eat super spicy things (see: Hot Ones). Well, be careful what you wish for.

Fourteen high school students in Tokyo thought they were being cool when they ate some “super spicy” potato chips, but instead found themselves in the hospital. The chips, called “18+ Curry Chips,” come full of warnings that say they may cause pain and you not to eat them alone. I guess you can add a potential hospital trip to that list of cautions. Oh, and the “18+” in the name isn’t just a number. It’s the recommended age you should be before you try to eat them!

If you fancy yourself an eater of insanely spicy foods, well then here is my dare: Send me a video of you eating them with your opinion of how hot they are, and I will dedicate an entire RTO Insider email to you. (RTO Insider is not responsible for any illness or injury you may sustain.) Godspeed. 

Now, don’t be scared to consume today’s RTO Insider news.
