Ummm....yeah, what s/he said. They all seem like late-adopters to me.

And frankly, I have never understood the "burn on the way out" myth/phenomenon. It must be psychological, or my taste receptors suck all the capsaicin away at first contact.

Personally, I just get the hick-ups when I approach my limit.
BTW, my preference is for the naga bhut jolokia. Chiles for Life!

I'm not leveling an accusation of racism or anything, but the title strikes me as odd that it specifies it's a black guy eating the peppers.
I thought that too but he does introduce himself as a "trained black-ass professional".

Please excuse my lack of perception, I suffer from the retarded.

well... it is derived from a 'food product' ... chilis

the active ingredient in pepper spray is capsaicin, which comes from the fruit of capsicum plants... so... chili peppers - really, really spicy ones

spicy or hot is typically measured on the scoville scale, or shu (scoville heat units) - 100% capsaicin is about 15-16 million shu - us law enforcement pepper spray's active ingredient is 10% capsaicin... so say, anywhere from 500,000 to 2,000,000 shu

are there chili peppers that hot, say something edible? yes!

bhut jolokia, naga viper, trinidad scorpion peppers are all over 1,000,000 shu... and are eaten routinely

i've tried the 'ghost pepper' bhut jolokia as a dipping sauce for beef... uhh, it wasn't pleasant... tears, snot, burning tongue and cheeks - it was about 1.1 million shu

i bought a bottle of the chili sauce to 'trick' friends with... but ended up giving myself something like what these students felt:

i opened the bottle to see if it was as hot as i remembered - i touched it with just the tip of my pinky and then touched my tongue... damn!

i later took a nap and on waking, rubbed my eyes - big mistake... my left eye felt like it was on fire - i had to hold an ice cube to it for about 15 minutes

stupid thing was when i tried to to explain to my angry wife why i was late picking up the kids from school, i re-enacted the pepper incident (without the touch and taste)... and touched my eye again... lol, round two with the ice cubes

2 words... Naga Ghost


Oh man, I picked up a bottle of Naga hot sauce made from Bhut Jolokia at the weekend, rated at over 1,000,000 on the Scoville scale, but I haven't plucked up the courage to try it yet...

The Bhut Jolokia hasn't been the worlds hottest chilli for a while now. At 1,041,427 SHU, the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T with a SHU of 1,463,700 has recently become the world's hottest chilli.

I'd sooner lick my cat's butt than actually let one these chillis anywhere near my mouth.

the actual hottest chili in the world is the Bhut Jolokia, it rates a tiny bit higher than the naga
both are in the jolokia family, but naga isn't as hot as the Bhut
