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.

every republican in congress has to outdo @AOC's one chip challenge time if they want to talk smack in the future.— hasanabi (@hasanabi) 1640488110
Watching @AOC hop onto Instagram to stream eating a very, very spicy potato chip and cut the feed after a minute and fifty seconds just made my day. So random.— Ricky Mondello (@Ricky Mondello) 1640488016
*Takes Notes*\nAll elected officials must survive the one chip challenge, and forfeiture is considered dishonorable discharge.— l i t t l e b r a i n (@l i t t l e b r a i n) 1640494935

Daaaaaaaaang. I challenge @tedcruz to this hahahhhahah— Mark (@Mark) 1640495516
what people don't understand about AOC's apparent social media goofing off is that it's more time-efficient and ethical than the endless dialing-for-dollars treadmill every other politician is onhttps://twitter.com/NaureenAkhter/status/1474940458841395201\u00a0\u2026— subjective function optimization (@subjective function optimization) 1640547815
All AOC know how to do is advocate for the working class, eat hot chip, and check phonehttps://twitter.com/AOC/status/1474970695612661760\u00a0\u2026— Alex Hanna (@Alex Hanna) 1640495607
This was great to watch and that I know from experience how hot that chip actually is. It made me puke it was so— Steven B. \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08 (@Steven B. \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08) 1640527346
Charge they phone, eat hot chip, lie...— Gavin (@Gavin) 1640495673
Did...did this really happen??! I love it! https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1474970695612661760\u00a0\u2026— Bryan M (@Bryan M) 1640495691
Needless to say, it's doubtful AOC will ask for another One Chip Challenge for Christmas next year.
