    Didn’t down vote ya, but kvetching about votes ain’t a good look.

    Why? I said in the post, it doesn’t taste good and it artificially makes things spicier, but in an unpleasant, astringent way that isn’t flavorful like hot hot peppers. The manufacturer states they use the Carolina Reaper and the Naga pepper in the chip, but I’ve had it, and it lacks the flavor of those peppers and tastes bitter like other “challenge” sauces that use some amount of pure capsaicin extract.

    It’s easier to get something spicier with pure extract and probably cheaper, but it ruins the taste of the heat.

    Edit: it ain’t about extracts in foods or nothing, it’s not “artificial”, it’s just pure capsaicin from the peppers. It just affects the flavor and experience poorly.

      Ban processed sugar because cherries taste better.

      Edit War: I have no issues with you finding “artificial” spiciness off-putting; only your opinion it should be disallowed…
