US breakfast TV host vomits on air as attempt to eat ‘world’s hottest’ crisp goes terribly wrong
A breakfast TV host had a morning to forget on Thurday - when she threw up live on air while trying the 'world's hottest' crisp.
Natalie Tysdal looked very uncomfortable after eating a Paqui Chip - which is made with the red-hot Carolina Reaper pepper - and dived under the desk after she was seen retching.
The presenter - who hosts the Daybreak show on Colorado's Channel 2 - took a bite of the chip, which makers say is the hottest on the planet, before taking a selfie.
But she was clearly struggling as the rest of the five-strong panel chuckled.
She later revealed she felt like fire was coming from her mouth, nose and ears.
The brand's website describes the chip as "one eye-watering, curse-inducing chip made with the hottest pepper on the planet".
After taking a sip of coffee, Tysdal vanished below the desk.
Explaining what happened in a Facebook post, she wrote: "So, what really happened on TV this morning with the "one chip challenge?"
"I thought I was okay until I had a drink of my coffee to wash down the chip.
"I threw up, couldn't breathe and felt like fire was coming out of my mouth, nose and ears.
"I had a bottle of water, a glass of milk, a tablespoon of honey and 3 mints and still felt on fire. An hour later I had chills and a massive headache.
"Three hours have gone by and I feel like I was beat up in a dark alley."
