#2 What Scoville Units Measure

There are quite a few peppers that are known to be the hottest peppers in the world. These of which are always trumped by the newest things due to personal challenges and odd wants. The first hot pepper that was introduced to me was called a habanero.

 Granted I didn't know what these were until my mother said, "Here, try one of these. You might like it." I didn't mind trying something new and popped one in my mouth, which was when she said,"SPIT IT OUT!!!!" By then, I had already swallowed a mini volcano. The habanero measures at 400,000 in scoville, a measurement of spicy heat, units.

Here we can see that the ghost pepper used to be the hottest pepper in the world until someone decided to crossbreed a red naga pepper and a Red Savina pepper to create something that can potentially kill someone depending on how their body reacts to it. I mean, the thing even looks unholy...

Here are some links to some very peculiar reactions to two very fantastic people eating these on their morning show. The first is a ghost pepper.

And this one is where they eat the devil's toenail (Carolina Reaper)
