I like spicy food as much as just about anyone, but this race to create the world’s hottest chili pepper is getting ridiculous. As it is, I’ve subjected myself to plenty of discomfort simply by using store-bought habaneros.

sheesh! what can you do with it? i cooked a quarter of a habanero, which only falls 100,000 to 350,000 on the Scoville scale, and i choked my family out of the house... and we like heat in our food...

It’s a novelty, an I-dare-you sort of thing. Very few actually use them in cooking, and sparingly at that.
To: JoeProBono
I really doubt that the Reaper is any hotter than the Cili found in the Philippines and other SE Asian areas.
To: ZirconEncrustedTweezers
It has been my experience that these “stunt” peppers are all heat and even when used in moderation have no flavor. If heat is all I wanted I'd stab my tongue with a soldering iron.

I totally expect new peppers to start giving off visible light by the time they reach 5 million units. And somebody will before long.

I love a sprinkle of dried habenero flakes on a slice of garlic chicken pizza. Wonderful flavor.

any pepper or pepper sauce that requires a legal release and can’t be cooked without using a respirator mask with eye protection and neoprene gloves might not be a good idea.

It has been my experience that these stunt peppers are all heat and even when used in moderation have no flavor. True dat. This half-cajun boy stops at the habanero level of heat and deliciousness. Anything beyond that is another increase in endorphins. Now I grew up with Tabasco on the table and fiery gumbo and jambalaya, so I like the heat. mmm mmm mmm

That's the most hateful, angry looking pepper I have ever seen! I imagine that you would evaporate all of the water out of your commode when it came time to "pass" the seeds... Never mind the toilet paper, you better keep a fire extinguisher and burn ointment handy!
I'll stick with my jalapenos.
To: ZirconEncrustedTweezers
I like spicy food too but only to a point. I can’t understand why someone would be willing to eat something that’s so hot it could cause tissue damage and extreme pain...going in and coming out!

...all heat and ... no flavor.I have to agree. I like spicy food (within reason) but there's a point where too much heat overwhelms my taste buds, numbing them.
After that it doesn't matter what you're eating, it tastes like nothing at all.
Unfortunately my rectum doesn't get numb, so eventually I pay heavily for the spice my mouth was too numb to enjoy...

These people should stop messing around with these sissy peppers. They should just eat hot coals and wash it down with sulfuric acid.
