The soot from a building fire will absolutely give you cancer. Most deaths from a building fire are caused by the contaminants in the air and not the fire itself. It's very nasty, and I wouldn't shrug it off. At the very least, it will taste nasty. At most, it will give you health complications.
I think it's a little unfair to escalate my talking about a presumably invisible and flavorless level of contamination into somehow advocating for choking down soot-blasted cancer nachos.
For the record: that's not what I meant and I think any reasonable person would not have interpeted it as such having read the context of the post. It's a sealed bag of chips -- they have functioning taste buds and eyeballs for Pete's sake!
