Parents told to keep children away from the dangerously spicy £20 tortilla sold in a box shaped like a coffin
Parents are being warned about the dangers of the social media “One Chip Challenge” after a boy died after eating a dangerously spicy tortilla.
The challenge involves eating what is said to be the hottest tortilla chip on the planet and then abstaining from eating or drinking anything to ease the pain for as long as possible.
Participants have shared their reactions on social media in a craze that has gained more than two billion views on TikTok.
Experts are warning against the trend after 14-year-old Harris Wolobah, of Worcester, Massachusetts, died on Sept 1 after taking part in the challenge.
