Just for comparison, the habanero is rated between 350,000?580,000 scoville units.Shoggoth2588 said:I downed an entire habanero pepper in one bite...and felt as though I was going to DIE
Been there, tasted that. I feel your pain. Also, Pain 100 is up there as well. A coworker didn't believe that it was that hot so he did a shot (from a capful) of it. Hilarity ensued. Especially when he thought drinking water would help. I gave him milk after I stopped laughing. In my defense, other coworkers and myself all told him not to do it.Hashime said:I ate some Mad dog's revenge, It is a Habenero pepper extract, rated at 1 000 000 Scoville units, More painful that breaking my ankle.
I lasted about 30 seconds before I couldn't take it anymore, My Aunt dared me to put some on my sandwich, I consumed about 3ml of the stuff, once I was overloaded however, my HR shot up to about 200 bpm, and I ran for the yoghurt!swolf said:Been there, tasted that.

I've had some sauce made from this. The sauce was amazing. It was hot enough that I began to sweat profusely, my eyes watered, my tongue was numb for an hour or so, and 4 glasses of milk later, most of the burning death was gone.alittlepepper said:Ghost Chili pepper. Ridiculously hot, even though I only got a small bit of it in what I was having. I will never ever do that again. I like spicy food but it felt like my tongue had been dipped in molten lava. I prefer spice AND taste rather than just the heat.
Guinness book records the Ghost Chili as the hottest pepper in the world. 1,000,000 Scoville.
If you like pain, like chomping on broken glass. Go for it.
For comparison:
"In comparison to other hot spices available in the market, a Classic Tabasco sauce has 2,500 to 5,000 Scoville units, Jalapeno pepper measures 2,500 to 8,000 Scoville units, and the previous world record holder Red Savina Habenero contained 580,000 Scovilles. The "Bhut Jolokia" on the other hand tested at a staggering 1,001,304 Scoville units."
