Warning about chip challenge

We've seen a surge in the Paqui One Chip Challenge, which asks individuals to consume extremely hot chips as part of a social media "challenge.” Students across the nation have been hospitalized because of the heat index of the chips. We encourage families to speak with their children about the dangers of participating in this and other potentially harmful internet challenges. The “Hot Brand Challenge” chips and gummies have been banned from all AUSD campuses. Please note: Students will be suspended for bringing these on campus and/or encouraging others to try them.
