AOC Just Rang In Christmas By Eating An Incredibly Spicy Chip—And Her Reaction Says It All

AOC rang in the Christmas holiday in a spicy way and shared the results on social media.

Progressive Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York—often referred to by her initials "AOC"—streamed herself celebrating Christmas Day on Instagram Live by taking part in the "One Chip Challenge."


The One Chip Challenge is comprised of the participant eating one single, incredibly spicy chip and seeing how long they can go without eating or drinking in order to soothe the burn.

Watch the video here:

At the start of the video, AOC wished everyone a Merry Christmas before saying she was going to "do something a little crazy."

She said:

“So I open my stocking and this was in my stocking—a spicy One Chip Challenge."

She read the packaging of the chip, which read cCarolina pepper and Scorpion pepper chip.”

She then went on to admit:

“I’m already scared...this is scary."
"First of all can we talk about how this is shaped like a coffin? Like I’m in trouble."

She then laughed and read a viewer comment saying:

"Someone said you have to prove your decision-making skills by bailing now.”

AOC then assured her viewers she came prepared for the challenge.

“I have oat milk, like a proper millennial I guess, I have some bubble water. I’m really scared y’all, I don’t know how bad this is."

She then unwrapped the chip from the packaging and was taken aback by the chip's appearance.

She said:

"It’s black! This chip is actually black—OK I apologize in advance if when I eat this I suddenly log off because this gonna be really bad.”

AOC then took the bold step of smelling the chip—a brave feat indeed.

After smelling the chip, she coughed. Her French bulldog, Deco, then began barking.

AOC laughed and said:

“Deco is trying to save me from myself right now, that’s why he’s barking.”

She continued:

“Oh Lord, I need everyone to say a prayer for me. Put some virtual hands on me."

After eating the chip, she began to feel the heat.

She said:

"Okay, the heat is coming through."
"Oh my god y’all! Y’ALL!”

She then started using her hands to fan her mouth and said:

“OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD! Lion’s breath... this is really hot. My ears feel hot."

Then, AOC's boyfriend, Riley Roberts, said:

“You got this you’re fine, it’s fine, I’ve seen you eat hot food before it’s fine."

A minute and a half into the challenge, AOC conceded.

She said:

“Ok bye y’all, I gotta say bye."
“Alright bye y’all, Happy Christmas!"

Twitter users are rolling over the video.









Needless to say, it's doubtful AOC will ask for another One Chip Challenge for Christmas next year.

The White House Now Has Its Own News Website—And People Are Calling It Out For What It Is

Critics called out the Trump administration for running its own propaganda network after the White House publicized "White House Wire," its own news website that features news articles from conservative news outlets like the Daily Caller and Fox News.

The White House Wire (WHWIRE) primarily features positive coverage of the president and administration, with stories mainly sourced from conservative outlets and contributions from government staffers. One early headline, "100 Days Of Hoaxes: Cutting Through The Fake News," was notable but did not include a direct link to a story.

Trump Called Out Using His Own Past Tweet After He Tried To Blame The Economy On Biden

After President Donald Trump declared that former President Joe Biden is to blame for for current stock market performance—saying "this is Biden's stock market, not Trump's" in a rant on Truth Social—people quickly fact-checked him for previously taking credit for the stock market when Biden was in office.
