Hot Crickets Challenge gift box with red bow, Hot Chip and Sens

The craziest gift in the room

For the friend who puts hot sauce on everything, and the dad who swears nothing is too spicy for him.

Bring the box to a party, play four rounds and film every face. Birthdays, Christmas, a night out with the team: it works anywhere people love a challenge.

18+ only, and only for those who signed up for it.

Four tubes. Four levels of heat.

Crunchy roasted crickets in four heat levels. Three of them you will handle. We will talk about the fourth.

  • Chilli & Lime: the warm-up
  • Wasabi: clears your sinuses
  • Chipotle: smoky, with a slow burn
  • Carolina Reaper: 1.6 to 2.2 million Scoville. Good luck.

The rules: start on the left, work right, no skipping. One tube per person per round. Have milk ready, not water: water spreads the capsaicin around your mouth, milk fat washes it off. And film it, you will want to watch it back.

Hot Crickets Challenge gift box by Hot Chip and Sens, roasted spicy crickets

Designed loud. Made with Hot Chip.

A Hot Chip and Sens collaboration in a box nobody at the table will miss. Inside: four glass tubes of roasted crickets, lined up from mild to brutal.

The box goes into paper recycling, the tubes are worth keeping: once the challenge is over, refill them with spices.

Two billion people already eat insects. Join them.

You can just eat crickets directly instead of chips or nuts. They are popular around the world as a snack with beer or wine. Mexicans also eat crickets as a main dish - chapulinas. Crickets can be sprinkled on salad or risotto for garnish.

Crickets are still a rare surprise! Fun and tasty, but also meaningful due to their positive impact on our beloved planet. Crickets are as good a source of protein as the best beef, but they consume 2,000 times less water. With this eco-friendly set, you also gift the wish for a greener planet. Enjoy and share a fun snack with friends or family. Even your boss might like it!

Crickets are raised on farms in a controlled environment. They have plenty of free space because they are used to living in dense populations in the wild. Before each harvest, the crickets are cooled down, causing them to hibernate, just as insects sleep when subject to cold weather.

Small bugs with a big mission

Edible insects are an alternative protein source with a minimal impact on the environment. The same quality protein as high-end beef. 100x less CO2 produced.
