Everyone knows about the Carolina Reaper. The world's hottest pepper, Satan's testicles, all names for this absolute atrocity. These bad bitches smell like dog food and taste half as good, and god damn you're a fool if you wanna try one of these. You can buy a pack of these for about 7 dollars on the internet.

So me and some buddies bought some, and decided to try them out. I'll tell you right now, even ghost peppers don't come close to what this fucker does. Grab some jugs of milk and get ready to have your body tell you to get this shit out of your system, because this is hell from start to finish.

(Shit quality I know) when you first start chewing, it tastes exactly how dog food smells. The heat doesn't kick in for a good couple of seconds, but when it hits you, hoo boy. The pain isn't something that's easy to describe, but it left my tongue and the roof of my mouth raw.

Now, everybody reacts differently to heat. However, all four of us reacted the same. We broke out into a sweat, our noses started running, and our faces turned red. Our eyes watered, our ears popped, and some of us threw it back up.

But nothing could prepare us for the lava-shit that took place later that evening. I'm no stranger to taking off my shirt when a shit gets intense, but I damn near undressed myself. It felt like I was giving birth to the antichrist.

5/7 would recommend.

The ghost pepper tips the Scoville scale at a walloping 855k to 1mil SHU. The Carolina Reaper eclipses it at 1.4 mil to 2.2 mil SHU.

I had 2.2m before, and considering my experience with my regular 500k Sauces and Red Savannahs, I think I would actually like to try them...

I mean I've heard that it's a pretty intense experience, and retrospectively it was a nice adrenaline rush.

It's not poisonous, just sends chemical signals to make the body react as though it were.

Real talk: does anyone know if eating really hot stuff like this causes internal damage or is it just a sensation that it's hurting you?

9 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Thank you all. I was always curious.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I'm pretty sure it can irritate or weaken the lining of your stomach or gastrointestinal tract. Can't be good for ulcers.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It can cause chemical burns to skin abs eyes of they're exposed, and if you cook with it, it can cause respiratory problems if aerosolized

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Also just eating like this can cause minor chemicals burns if you're susceptible to it.

That has much more to do with Stomach Acid, than the Pepper itself.

Mostly sensation but the body's reaction to that sensation can be damaging. Like that one guy who threw up right through his oesophagus.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Jalapeños are pretty spicy, but this blows it out of the water. I think a jalapeño is like 5k scovilles, the Carolina reaper is around 2 mil

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Jalapeños are 2-10k, Reapers average between 1.4 and 1.6M with a peak of just over 2.2M.

Did you rehydrate them first? Because you're a cheater if you didnt.

9 years ago | Likes 57 Dislikes 3

Explain

9 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

They came dried, rehydration of the peppers would make them closer to original

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

When you rehydrate chillies the water gets hot. That's heat lost from the pepper. Just chew longer and let your spit do the work.

The capsaicin on the better isn't water soluble. It won't leech any hear into the water. That's also why water doesn't help a capsaicin burn

9 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 2

Sure, the water doesn't absorb it, but it can distribute it.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I take it you've never tasted Reaper water then? I have plenty of experience that says you're wrong, despite your science being sound.

9 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 1

Also, try comparing milk to vodka. Vodka will dissolve the capsaicin better but it won't break it down so it'll hurt more in the stomach.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

That sounds awful

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

We heard that we should, but we didn't know what to use. We drank water before and after eating it, and milk was a "last resort"

Your peppers were dried up and pretty poor quality. That's why they tasted like crap

Casein has a detergent effect on capsaicin, so milk works.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It works to combat the spice in the short-term but it's really not good for your digestive system to do this. It causes bloating.
