They’re tasty, but Ghost pepper is so high on the Scoville scale that they’re really unusable as a commercial product. They’re higher than the peppers used in pepper-spray by police. So even if the chip maker knew this and diluted the dried ghost pepper with enough inert ingredients that it wouldn’t kill someone, there’s no guarantee that you won’t get the occasional clump of pure ghost pepper powder on a given chip…and I think I got one because I was truly in pain and crying…

Well, that sucks. Hopefully this didn’t ruin dinner. Or did it?
