Someone import Doritos Roullette Flavor

Postby Y4NK33 PL4N3T » July 20th, 2015, 8:03 am

Doritos Roulette chips are said to be 10 times hotter than a jalapeño.

A school in the UK has banned Doritos Roulette chips after a student ate one and nearly stopped breathing. According to the Independent, the chips — which are also sold in Canada and are apparently banned in the US — are nacho-cheese flavored, but some are coated with a spicy flavoring that "will leave you close to tears." The spicy chips — which are said to be 10 times hotter than a jalapeño — and the regular chips look exactly the same, so there is no way to identify which chip is which. The Telegraph writes that teachers at George Pindar School in North Yorkshire, England now consider the chips to be a "health and safety risk."

The 14-year-old student — who apparently already had a pre-existing respiratory condition — had severe difficulty breathing after he ate a spicy chip. (Though to be fair, kids with known respiratory conditions should probably not be eating super spicy chips in the first place.) The school sent home a cautionary note to parents warning against the chip. A Doritos spokesperson tells the Independent: "We were sorry to hear about what happened. We do warn people to expect a seriously spicy experience with Doritos Roulette and we make this clear on the pack." The spokesperson adds the bag warns that the chips are "not recommended for young children."

While Doritos Roulette chips are not available stateside, Americans have access to a number of other Doritos innovations. Last week, Burger King announced that it was testing Doritos Loaded triangles, the chip company's take on mozzarella sticks. Last November, Pepsi confirmed that it was testing a Doritos-flavored Mountain Dew.

"They're" :up

Pretty sure they're not illegal, you just can't sell them retail.

Ebay, maybe Amazon, etc...

Link to these being a controlled substance or the criminal penalty for possession.

Who said he bought them? My brother is out of the country all the time. If I asked for some he could bring them back for me.

Uh, link says they are banned at a single school...in the UK. :?

It also says:
"Doritos Roulette chips were released in the U.S. in April claiming that the fiery chip would 'leave you close to tears.'"

It also appears that they were never "banned" in the US. They were available for a limited time only.

Second sentence in the OP states they're banned here, thought the link was the one from op but apparently not. Will find it later.

Lazy fux at eater.com can't even do 5 minutes of research. :fail

From the (4) comments (note the time stamps, story was posted 7/16):

Banned in the U.S.? I saw them in the store a few weeks ago in CT.

These ARE available in the U.S. I have had more than a few bags of these and they are NOT hotter than a jalapeño. Not even close.

I would say the heat is somewhere between "Spicy Nacho" and "Flamas" — the "flaming hot" snacks are much hotter.

I did read that they were available for a limited time only. :dunno
