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.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
