Sonoran Spice Ghost Pepper Gumballs

A gumball is usually a low-stakes decision. Sonoran Spice Ghost Pepper Gumballs make it a decision you should at least read the label for. Each pouch holds 25 large gumballs, with cinnamon, ghost pepper and a sour powder coating. That sour coating is the detail that makes these more interesting than just gum with a spicy name: heat apparently needs a sour accomplice.

These make sense as a small gift for the friend who actively seeks out extremely hot snacks. A friend who already hunts down extremely hot snacks will enjoy the absurdity of ghost pepper in something as ordinary as chewing gum, rather than another bottle of hot sauce. But the heat is also a reason to skip them for anyone who just wants a pleasant chew. Keep the pouch visible and let people opt in. This is not the gum to quietly slip into the office candy bowl.
