Blairs Death Rain - Habanero

Guest Review: Emory Dawson

So, my friend here hands me this bag of chips that he’s too afraid to try. Wuss.  The bag says it is rated “hot”, and is Habenero flavored, and sure enough it is one of the ingredients listed.  After opening the bag, they didn’t smell too hot, and were reminiscent of barbecue flavored chips.  My friend hands me a glass of milk, and I eat the first chip.  Pretty good, I say to myself, very flavorful.  Not too hot.  Good crunch.  Upon the ingestion of several more chips, my mouth ignites in a delightful flame of burning, which the milk helps quell.  A couple more chips later, and I had a small coughing fit, as my throat was tickled by the spices..  Due to the compounded intensity of each successive chip, I was unable to finish the bag of chips.  I would recommend this to anyone who loves really hot or spicy food, because the bag does not lie when it says it is rated hot.

*Editor Note*  Emory also added comments to the ratings, so I’ll show those below.

Tastiness: Very tasty, but must be eaten slowly to avoid excessive burning
Crunchiness:  Good crunch.
Heat: Hot.  Advise caution, especially to asthmatics.
Greasiness: Similar to Barbecue chips, these leave spicy residue upon your fingers after eating them.  Due to the nature of these chips, wash your hands before rubbing your eyes.
Overall: Unless you are a lover of spicy foods, these are more of a novelty.  Unless you are a masochist, makes a poor snack food.
