Do you like to live dangerously? Do you enjoy zipping yourself up in some sort of leather garment and tearing wheelies on your pig? Do you enjoy bungee jumping in a crevice filled with spiky things? Well, then I have a chip for you. Doritos Roulette returns to Walmart stores across the country from April 12, Brand food reports.
What is Doritos Roulette and why is it so dangerous? The bag contains a mix of two identical types of tortilla chips, but some chips are plain old Doritos Nacho Cheese chips, while about one in six chips is a ‘fiery hot’ version that measures 78,000 units on the Scoville scale, or 10 times hotter than your average jalapeño. Each chip looks exactly the same, so there is no way of knowing which chip you will be eating. Oh, the adrenaline!
Doritos Roulette has been around since 2014; in fact, when the promotion debuted, Doritos Canada invited fans to photograph themselves eating the hot fries and posting their #burnselfies, which resulted in some of my personal favorite contentThe chip also has a controversial legacy. Our friends on sister site Kotaku were dissatisfied with the chips and wrote, “Doritos Roulette is presented as something fun, a kind of game that you can play with your friends, in the same vein as buying a bunch of jelly donuts and filling them with pickles.” The chips were even banned at a UK school after allegedly causing an asthmatic student to stop breathing after “complaining of a severe burning sensation in her throat” and “puffing four mugs of milk”, The independent reported. If you want to get in on the action, you’ll have more power – the chips are available in nine-ounce bags for about $ 3.
