A Massachusetts teen has passed away after attempting a viral social media challenge.
Harris Wolobah’s family has been left reeling after the 14-year-old passed away last week — and they believe an extremely spicy chip is to blame.
If you haven’t heard of the One Chip Challenge, it’s all about the heat. The chips, made by Paqui, are “flavored” with the hottest peppers known to man, like the Carolina Reaper, the Naga Viper, and the Scorpion. A single black chip comes in a coffin-shaped package — and warns consumers to keep away from children and those with food sensitivities due to its extreme heat.
The point of the challenge is to eat it and then to see how long you can go without drinking water, which is why it’s become such a popular challenge online. For anyone trying it, the challenge is painful as all hell. However, for Harris, it was far worse than one bad night…

The Worcester teen’s mother Lois Wolobah told NBC10 Boston on Sunday that she was called to her son’s school on Friday by a nurse after Harris had explained that a classmate had given him the chip, which left him with bad abdominal pain. According to her, he began to feel better when he got home, but by 4:30 p.m. when he was ready to head out for basketball tryouts, his brother called for help because he’d passed out.
Harris was promptly taken to a nearby hospital, where the loving family’s worst nightmare came true: the teen was pronounced dead.
While official autopsy results are pending, Doherty Memorial High School’s superintendent Rachel Monárrez paid tribute to the late teen, calling him a “rising star” at the school. She said in a statement:
Lois isn’t happy with the school — she says her son

For an hour, Finestkind is the kind of movie they don’t make any more, and just when you’re starting to adapt to its gentle, circadian rhythms (which is about halfway through), it becomes the kind of movie they make all the time. Though it just about works, it’s a curious hybrid of emotional felladrama and gangster realism, something writer Brian Helgeland has essayed before, notably with his script for Clint Eastwood’s Mystic River. A few years back, this could have been a Malpaso production too, and it’s not hard to imagine Eastwood in the role played here by Tommy Lee Jones, an awards-friendly supporting role that gives the veteran actor his very own mini-Gran Torino.
