Also this guy is soo cool and soo chill. It's hard to believe that he took all those peppers so calmly but I am glad that he's strong enough to because there was no way I'd know what some of those tasted like otherwise!!

One gram of a certain kind of chili has the same amount of scoville as a boat load of that kind of chili. Scoville units (if I remember correctly) are measured by mixing a chili with water until you can't detect the heat any longer. So if a chili has 1000 scoville, you need an amount of water that's 1000 times its weight to achieve that.

This means 16m is the maximum, you can't get any purer. Things with 16m scoville have to consist of only capsaicin. Now, if something has 8m scoville, this means half of it consists of pure capsaicin, 4m scoville means 25% and 2m means 12.5%. Anything that has 2m scoville, whether it's a hot sauce, a whole chili or just a piece of it, consists of 12.5% capsaicin.

    Once ate 5 Carolina Reaper pods that was in a pickle brine. They were whole. I ate all the pickles, which were very hot, and one day I decided to eat the peppers. I regret that choice. While my mouth was on fire in a way I'd never known before, I was able to handle that. What did the K.O. was how my body reacted to it internally. Pain, internal pain. It was so bad that I panicked and eventually lost consciousness. Yes, I passed out because of the internal pain. Won't do that again.

    Even our bird peppers are nice. Not sure how they'd measure up on this scale, but a few fresh bird peppers amp up the flavour and heat of most dishes!
