I ate a Carolina Reaper pepper. Things went as well as you would expect.
I hope you are joking! Why would you eat a Carolina Reaper?
Because someone told me that a Carolina Reaper pepper is a normal jalapeno pepper.
Whatever the outcome was from eating this pepper, it is not your fault.  Someone actively deceived you into thinking that a dangerously hot pepper was something much more manageable, and this behavior was maliciously reckless on their part.
Nah, I'm dumb for eating the pepper, it's not his fault.
You will know next time but it is not your fault your friend gave you an awful pepper to try.
