Doesn't that put people in the hospital and shit?
I have a buddy who's been growing the reaper and ghost peppers indoors in his closet. I don't understand the appeal. He eats the shit out of the peppers with all his meals.

In the last 4 years he has been through stomach cancer twice...

I wonder if the peppers could be contributing to his problems. Don't worry Eric I'm sure you'll be fine.

In the cleavage of the Tetons
I am going to start marketing diluted hydrochloride and citric acid in teeny bottles, with vaguely satanic names. Maybe some nearly naked chicks on the labels.
I could host contests, add it into funny foods, just to see what won’t kill people. It will be hugely popular, and start a cultural ‘thing’. Anyone wanna invest? Crowdsource?

Ill call it ’The Eclectic Kool-Aid Acid Test’.

Can you dig it?

I grew ghost chillies once and they took forever. I did enjoy the flavor, but not worth the effort. Habs are easy, have good heat, and are very versatile. The closest I've gotten to eating a pepper is the Balls of Fire at Salvador Molly's. About 1 pepper per ball, my ass paid for it

My buddy grew some habaneros last summer that ended up not hot at all. He brought a bowl of them to our green chile weekend and goddam were those things tasty. All the habanero flavor but none of the heat.

As hot as ghost peppers are, you still need to try the hot ones Last Dab.

I have a bottle in my fridge and just can't do it. The tiniest of dots sets fire to every hole.

It's made with pepper x or some crap..

The ones I grew from seed a few years ago were kinda like that. The plants I get from BiMart have been pretty good. Not outrageous heat, but certainly more than a jalapeno.

My Trinidad Scorpions aren't ripe yet and the Carolina Reaper has just flowered but no peppers yet. The chocolate Habaneros are about 6 weeks behind the rest

as for commercial bottled stuff I take this with me to restaurants for when they try and serve me gringo hot stuff when I want kick ass hot. Thai places do it to me all the time. I tell them the dish is not spicy hot and they say it is so i whip this out and say this is hot try some. They freak out

I remember trying that stuff about 27 years ago at a mates house post clubbing. I don't need it in my life :p
