This Could Be The New World’s Hottest Chili Pepper

We’ve been over this before. A chili pepper is produced that’s weapons-grade and shouldn’t be ingested. So, someone else comes up with another hotter, more deadly pepper, and so on and so forth.

Now, we may have a new king of the killer chilis, and it’s called… wait for it… Dragon’s Breath. The pepper was developed by Wales-based hobby grower, Mike Smith, and could potentially dethrone the Carolina Reaper as the world’s hottest pepper.

Dragon’s Breath has supposedly surpassed 2.4 million on the Scoville scale, and could potentially kill a human if ingested. So, the only logical explanation for the pepper’s existence is for anesthetic use. The oils from Dragon’s Breath are so powerful, that they can numb the skin on contact.

Guinness has yet to confirm Dragon’s Breath as the official ‘World’s Hottest,’ but stay tuned.

The Spiciest Tortilla Chip In The World Is Sold One Chip Per Package

You may be wondering why someone would come up with packaging and marketing for one tortilla chip. Well, this particular chip, Carolina Reaper Madness, is made with the hottest pepper known to man. So, the choice to only offer it individually, is probably to keep you from dying.

As the name implies, the lone chip is made using the hottest pepper in the world, the Carolina Reaper. The chip comes packaged in its own triangle foil and a small coffin — which seems reassuring.

Paqui, the maker of the Reaper, is even trying to taunt would-be “spice-heads,” by offering the One Chip Challenge. Let us know if you try one.

Grow Your Own World’s Hottest Pepper

And popping open the DIY planting kit is literally opening a can of whoopass. Water it and talk to it enough, and your new little sproutling will pack over one-million SHU’s — which is akin to licking the sun.
