Denver TV Anchor Meltdown After Tasting 'World's Hottest' Chip [Watch]

DENVER, CO – One chip was one-chip-too-many for KWGN anchor Natalie Tysdal who took a bite of a snack on the air Wednesday billing itself as the "world's hottest chip." As a Daybreak morning show activity, Tysdal and her colleague anchors announced they were taking the "One Chip Challenge."

Tysdal nibbled a Paqui Chip, which is made with the Carolina Reaper pepper. She immediately regretted it. Her colleagues on the news desk had prepared for the mouth-meltdown by eating ice-cream and drinking milk, Tysdal said.

After biting the chip, Tysdal sipped some coffee, then choked and ducked behind the news desk.

"Oh, Natalie threw up!" laughed one of her colleagues, who called for a doctor.

On her Facebook page, she posted an update a few hours later:

So, what really happened on TV this morning with the "one chip challenge?" I thought I was okay until I had a drink of my coffee to wash down the chip. I threw up, couldn't breathe and felt like fire was coming out of my mouth, nose and ears. I had a bottle of water, a glass of milk, a tablespoon of honey and 3 mints and still felt on fire. An hour later I had chills and a massive headache. Three hours have gone by and I feel like I was beat up in a dark alley. Oh, and did I mention I shared the chip with my producer Scott Elliott? CRAZY! I wouldn't recommend it.
