    Gonna be real mad if this ends up making it harder to get hot stuff. Don’t push your limits folks, but don’t restrict others.

      Do you buy your hot food in specifically TikTok friendly, coffin shaped packaging explicitly labed as a challenge?

      Let’s hope they regulate greedy marketing not food sales.

        Spicy challenge products have been sold like this since before TikTok was a thing.

      Unfortunately that’s significant element of that niche culture. Pushing your limit and proving just how spicy you can go is the point for most of them.
