A news anchor in Colorado who tasted a corn chip flavored with the world's hottest pepper appears to have gotten sick on air.

She and a group of four other anchors at the station in Colorado tasted the chips while broadcasting, and some are seen coughing and struggling with it. The tasting was part of the Paqui One Chip Challenge.

Paqui is the maker of the Carolina Reaper Madness Chip, which may be purchased online. The chip is delivered in packaging that looks like a coffin.
