Which makes this all make way more sense, frankly.Paqui Chips has created a tortilla chip coated in a spice blend that includes Smokin’ Ed’s Carolina Reaper (the world’s hottest pepper), bhut jolokia (ghost pepper) and chipotle pepper. That’s why people are driven to breed hotter and hotter version, that’s why they attend hot pepper conventions, that’s why my family and I kept eating bits of the Paqui chip even after the first burst of throat-fire. And we’re doing so for the second-oldest reason humans do anything: Peppers, due to the endorphin rush that occurs when your body is forced to deal with a foreign object of unimaginable heat, make you a little bit high. Currie also says he’s got Reapers that measure 4 million Scovilles, but hasn’t released them yet, because why? We’re still throwing gobs of money at the relatively paltry 2.2 million version. The Reaper’s inventor-Ed Currie of the South Carolina-based company with the actual and highly satisfying name of Puckerbutt-claims to have ingested a pepper-essence substance of 16 million Scovilles.

Pepper hotness is measured in Scovilles it’s a little complicated to explain, but the jalapenos in your burrito rank between 2,500 and 5,000 Scovilles while Tabasco sauce can hit 7,000. Some background, if you eat normal food: The Carolina Reaper pepper is the Guinness World Record holder for Hottest Chili on Earth and Probably Most of the Other Planets, a plant of such ferocious potency that its record hasn’t been toppled for four years.
