@bladededge: How on Earth is that a "general consensus"? I'm almost in disbelief in just how much you are overreacting to this, and judging by the comments I'm not the only one.
Let's just repeat: it was a spicy potato chip. Nobody actually forced Abby, Alex or Patrick to eat the deep fried menace. If they really, genuinely didn't want to eat the tuberous terror, then they are headstrong enough to not do so. They've ignored Dan's suggested antics before, and they will do so in the future if they choose to.
Also, I agree with @mellotronrules below: if people weren't OK with this kind of stuff before, which everyone except Patrick has experienced before, they would have said something.
Some of these comments are hilarious. If you didn't know better you'd have thought Dan took them on a weekend trip to Yodok camp.
Nobody shoved the chip down Abby, Alex or Pat's throat. If they really didn't want to do it then they wouldn't have. Dan is a cheeky entertainer, not sadistic.
