Tortilla chip brand Paqui says it is voluntarily removing its ultra-spicy “One Chip Challenge” from shelves after a Massachusetts family claims their 14-year-old son may have died from complications from the challenge.
hmmm maybe we shouldnt let companies and people sell whatever the fuck they want
I mean, they designed the chip as a thing to be eaten. It doesn’t appear that the marketing made the child eat it in a way that was different from anyone else.
The chip has a warning label that it’s not intended for children, pregnant people, people with underlying health conditions. Really kind of hard to blame the company here unless they were pushing the challenge or marketing to kids
Still seems kind of thin to me, especially considering teens’ proclivities to test boundaries and try to emulate adults. I hope you’re not saying this is the kid’s fault.
Yeah, it actually did help the world and the people a lot during the Prohibition period. Alcohol related health issues went significantly down and so did hospital visits for liver related issues. The problem was that enforcement wasn’t tough enough so that people still got away with it
Organized crime took over all major cities, the government started poisoning alcohol and people were drinking unregulated bathtub booze and ethanol and becoming blind at extreme rates. Completely off. The enforcement was so tough they were mass poisoning thousands of speakeasy goers.
There’s a reason no AES nation has banned alcohol but the fascist settler states all had a go
The issue was i’ll running of prohibition. Had better steps taken to ensure alcohol was removed (like slowly limiting it over time) then those issues may not have been as prevalent. The issue with organized crime may also have had to do with certain economic woes at the time

I think it’s just a senseless tragedy. Do you want to ban alcohol too because teens want to drink?
I think there’s a far far stronger argument to ban alcohol than hot chips
Damn didn’t know we were doing prohibition up in here, went so well last time

say sike rn
The “challenge” part of it is clearly marketed at kids (it’s not exclusively kids who do viral challenges like this, but it’s predominantly kids).
