Celebrities like Tony Hawk and Shaquille O’Neal went viral trying the 'One Chip Challenge.'
When 14-year-old Harris Wolobah of Massachusetts died last fall, the boy’s family suspected it could be related to a viral spicy potato chip he ate just a few hours earlier. Wolobah’s family was correct, according to an autopsy report obtained by the Associated Press. The high school sophomore died on Sept. 23, 2023, after eating a Paqui brand chip called the “ One Chip Challenge ,” which was dusted with the extremely hot Carolina Reaper and Naga Viper peppers.
’s Natalie Tysdal wrote about the incident on Facebook: So, what really happened on TV this morning with the “one chip challenge?” I thought I was okay until I had a drink of my coffee to wash down the chip. I threw up, couldn’t breathe and felt like fire was coming out of my mouth, nose and ears. I had a bottle of water, a glass of milk, a tablespoon of honey and 3 mints and still felt on fire. An hour later I had chills and a massive headache.
wouldn’t recommend it. The chips had a warning that they shouldn’t be consumed by children but there was no formal prohibition on sales to minors. Even before Wolobah’s death in 2023, there were many reports of children getting hurt from the challenge. Paqui stopped selling “One Chip Challenge” chips not long after Wolobah died and scrubbed its website of the playful advertising that surrounded the product.
