My OG Santa was overly generous. I was outdone, and not by a little.
I’m so grateful to him and thankful for the entire community.
Happy Holidays my friends!

My wife tried one of the Carolina Reaper ones, she loves hot. She did not love those, kind of like a blow torch to the mouth.

I never even tried one. It’s not my thing. They use actual puree from the peppers in the beans so they are the real deal. As someone who studies survival skills it goes against my thought process. If you are in the woods and taste something that gives you that type of reaction it’s natures way of saying don’t eat it. I don’t get folks doing that to themselves but they do. To each their own.

Yeah, I don’t mind some spice in my life so I get that. I just think there are extremes people go to that I don’t really understand. Some folks life for it. Hey, if it makes a person happy then why not. It’s their mouth.

I don’t think I would ever try that Carolina Reaper pepper.
My insides couldn’t handle that.

I don’t blame you. A Jalapeno pepper ranges from 2000 to 8000 on the Scoville meter. The Carolina Reaper is 2.2 million. It’s pretty crazy.

Change that thought I can’t handle heat thought you had some medicated beans you were testing.

I think it’s the release of endorphins. I kinda like it at times haha. 10 years back I broke my guts with hot sauce though, couldn’t handle any spice for a couple years after that.
But yeah, I think it’s like running…endorphins. You won’t catch me going out for a run, just like we won’t catch you eating a reaper lol

The guy that bred the Carolina Reaper has a stronger pepper he’s working on he calls: “Pepper X”.
Pepper X is a cultivar of Capsicum chili pepper bred by Ed Currie, creator of the Carolina Reaper.[1][2] Pepper X resulted from several cross breedings that produced an exceptionally high content of capsaicin in the locules of the pepper.[2] The exceptional pungency of the chili was developed over 10 years of cultivation.[1][3] According to Currie, he started developing Pepper X as he found his favorite chili peppers too mild and wanted to have a pepper that had more heat while retaining the flavor.[3]
Currie stated that it is “two times as hot as the Carolina Reaper”,[3] which would make it the hottest pepper in the world with a Scoville scale of 3.18 million units, but this remains unconfirmed by Guinness World Records as of 2022.[1][3]
I keep my eye on their site for the seeds but it’s not happened yet.
