The Salt Chip Challenge is an extreme snack challenge where a single, heavily seasoned tortilla chip is eaten in one go, with the goal of enduring the heat or intense flavour for as long as possible.
Is this the successor to the Hot Chip Challenge?
Yes, the Salt Chip Challenge is often seen as the successor to the 'Hot Chip Hot Chip Challenge'. That version has since been banned after a tragic incident, partly due to its extremely spicy composition.
Why was the original Hot Chip Challenge banned?
The original Hot Chip Challenge was banned in some countries after an incident involving a similar extremely spicy chip. This led to stricter regulations around such challenges.
What is the Scoville rating of the Hot Chip Challenge?
The Hot Chip Challenge is estimated to measure over 2,000,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), achieved using extremely hot peppers such as Carolina Reaper and Naga Viper. For comparison, a jalapeño pepper averages around 5,000 SHU.
What was the One Chip Challenge and what happened?
The One Chip Challenge was a viral internet trend where participants ate an ultra-hot chip made with Carolina Reaper and Naga Viper peppers. In 2023, a 14-year-old boy died shortly after taking part, reportedly due to high capsaicin effects and an underlying heart condition. The product was subsequently pulled from the market.
Do extremely spicy or salty chips cause health issues?
Yes. With extremely salty chips like the Salt Chip, eating even one can cause nausea, thirst, headaches, or stomach discomfort. Long-term or frequent consumption may pose health risks such as increased blood pressure and heart stress.
Is the Salt Chip Challenge safe?
For healthy adults, a small amount can be safe, but the high intensity can trigger severe reactions. This challenge is not suitable for children, pregnant individuals, or those with heart, stomach, or respiratory issues.
What is Hot Chip’s latest challenge?
After the well-known Hot Chip Challenge, Hot Chip introduced the 'Hot Nut Challenge', featuring extremely spicy peanuts. This version is slightly less intense than the chip challenge but still very hot.
How should I prepare for the Salt Chip Challenge?
Avoid drinking water immediately after eating—it can spread the heat. Keep milk or yogurt on hand to soothe the burning sensation. Do the challenge in a safe environment and stop if you experience severe discomfort.
What is the Scoville rating of the Salt Chip Challenge?
The Salt Chip Challenge does not have an official Scoville rating. This challenge is not solely focused on the heat from capsaicin, but on the intense combination of spiciness and extreme saltiness. This makes the experience different from the traditional Hot Chip Challenge, where the emphasis is purely on heat.
