Unlawful Heat

Smoked chile and garlic applied past the point of oversight. Flavor first. Heat immediately after.

Smoked chile · garlic · tomato

Analysis identified smoked chile, garlic, and a tomato-adjacent tang applied with what the inspecting officer described as "intent." The burn builds slowly and does not file for permission. It is, however, a flavor event first and a heat event second — this is not novelty pain. Nobody films their friends eating it.

The Division classifies the product as extremely snackable and has declined to establish a maximum session length, citing futility.
