I'm pretty familiar with Sriracha sauce and spicy food in general (I eat it every time I get Panda Express), so I told my son I'd give the challenge a try. He pulled out this odd shaped blue box with a red skeleton on it. Once the box was open, he pulled out this plastic container containing the chip and handed it to me.

Once I opened the little plastic container, I pulled out the grossest looking potato chip I've ever seen. This thing was a color combination of purple, black, green, and blue and smelled way stronger than any Sriracha sauce I'd ever used at Panda Express or any Chinese buffet. It looked like the devil's toe nail.

"What the hell is this?!?" I asked my son.

"That's the chip" he said.

"What's up with the color? Shouldn't it be red?" I questioned.

"It's got food coloring in it so it turns your mouth blue. That way everyone knows you took the real Paqui Chip challenge"

"Ahhh ok, got it." I said.

Brothers, let me tell you. What I'm about to say next was traumatic. I took the chip and stuck the whole damn thing in my mouth and began to chew. It was one chip, so it was really easy to chew up and eat. But on the finishing chews, I knew I had made a terrible mistake. I swallowed the whole thing though because I had to show my son I wasn't a pussy.

My blood pressure began to raise immediately. My eyes began watering uncontrollably. My mouth began to burn, like someone had poured molten lava in it. My stomach felt light it had a burning charcoal briquette in it.

"That's not fucking Sriracha!" I yelled at my son, who was laughing hysterically. I knew I had been played, humiliated by a child. But those thoughts only last a few more seconds before my body began reacting violently.

At this point, my nose was running uncontrollably, my eyes were crying. I was coughing. I could taste the capsaicin coming through my teeth every time I coughed. My brain began to flicker, like I was in a life or death moment. Fight or flight, but there's no one or nothing to fight, so I opted for flight.

I ran. I literally took over running to the nearest faucet inside my house, which happened to be the bathroom. I'm sure my son was laughing at me, but I couldn't tell. It was a life and death situation and I had to make it to. I needed water.

Once I made it to the bathroom, I ran to the bathtub and tried to turn the water on. My wife recently got one of those expensive hand held shower nozzles for the shower. I tried turning the water on, but I was in no condition to figure out how it worked. There were to many levers and nozzles to mess with. There was no "thinking", but only reacting as if my life depended on it.

At this moment, I made an even dumber mistake. My eyes were watering so bad that I rubbed my eyes to get the tears out. TERRIBLE MISTAKE! All the chili oil from the chip was still on my finger tips and got into my eyes. My eyes literally felt like they were burning. Like someone put a welding torch to my eye balls. The pain was unbearable.

As I was panicking and dying, I looked down and saw it. It was just sitting there. The toilet had the seat up and I could see through my burning eyes the crystal clear water in the toilet bowl. I didn't care. I didn't give a shit. I was in survival mode and that's when I did it. I plunged my face and head into the toilet bowl water. That water was like being baptized. Like I had the devil's nectar flowing through my veins and the cool holy water of our Lord and Savior had splashed across my face and he saved me. I was redeemed.

For the next 10 minutes I sat there splashing this holy toilet water on my face and rinsing my eyes with it. I finally started to come through after 15 minutes before I realized where I was and what I was doing. My son was standing in the doorway of the bathroom with his new iphone 14 our filming me in portrait mode, giggling before asking me "haha are you alright dad?"

I have never been this embarrassed in my life. I'm warning you, brothers. DO NOT DO THE PACQUI CHIP CHALLENGE!!!

Recently I happened upon the next year's chip (the blue one described in OP). Bought two, one for each kid.

Brothers, let me tell you what a spectacle this was. Only one even got through the chip; the other spit it into the sink in front of a visiting friend. Both vomited, one on the football field. Epic night.

It's a TikTok world out there.
