14 Japanese Students Hospitalized After Eating Extremely Spicy Chips

The high school students experienced nausea and pain after consuming crisps labeled '18+ Curry Chips' due to their intense spiciness.

  • The chips, containing ghost peppers, were brought to the school by a student 'for fun'.
  • All affected students are believed to have only minor symptoms.
  • Isoyama Corporation, the manufacturer, has issued an apology and wishes for the students' swift recovery.
  • The crisps are marketed with warnings against consumption by those under 18 or those not accustomed to spicy foods.
