No thank you. I would prefer to live.

The Reaper, 1.57 mill scoville, has be dethroned by Dragons Breath, 2.48 mill scoville but Ed Currie, guy who created the Reaper, also has one hotter than the Dragons Breath, Pepper X, at 3.1 mill scoville. This claim is unconfirmed by Guiness yet

Thanks and that's what I remember.

I tap out at habanero. What's crazy as heck is I make jerk with habaneros and the marinade will rip your face off but once smoked there is ZERO heat.

I bought one of these a month or so back. They had them at our Wegmans. Still do I believe. My youngest son, who loves hot things. gave it a try. I should have taped it. He made the 5 minutes. Then chugged a quart of milk. He said it was the 2nd hottest thing he's had. The first was some sort of ramen called Hek Buldak Extra Spicy Roasted chicken Ramen. I had to leave the kitchen when he added the spice packet.

Steve did he mention whether or not it tasted good? I can handle high heat when the taste is good....

Damn, I've never seen them on store shelves down here, sure wish I could.
I didn't even know they had them at selected retailers.

 

[Steve H]

I was surprised too. They even had bags of chips

Our local Academy sells the Paqui chips but not the boxed chip challenge. The chips are pretty tasty.

I'll need to ask him. I was too busy laughing. He did say mmmm. For a few seconds.

I'm going to get a bag of them. How was the heat on them?

Not overwhelming at all but certainly there. Hotter than Zapps jalapeno, but not too too much more. Maybe a 7/10

The Paqui bagged 'Ghost Pepper' tortilla chips aren't that hot to me.
They used to be hotter, back when they put a lot of powdered seasoning on them, but now they seemed to only be incorporated into the chip in the masa or sprayed/dipped.

They are okay for munching, dipping and recipes, nice heat, okay flavor, but not great like they used to be.
Again, flavor/heat used to being much better when they had a lot of powdered seasoning on them.

I imagine it was a big reduction in production costs to stop using so much seasoning.

My step son bought these as well. There are 12 chocolates. 6 are hot and 6 are regular and all look the exact same. I got the hot one and about died and I can handle and love hot stuff. Was by far the worst thing I have ever eaten in my life. Worse than the Poqui chip. Try it out sometime!

They weren't quite as hot as some other Reapers I've had, but the citrus flavor was off the charts good.

The powder I have is pretty hot . The fruity flavor is fantastic .

Chop how would you describe the heat? Seemed to really sting my mouth then it went pretty much numb after that for me. Was definitely a different sort of heat from what I was used to.

 

[chopsaw]

Intense . Lol . I think that powder I have contains some seeds and membranes . Plus being condensed down . I would agree that something is different about the heat . Used in the right amount it's perfect . Great flavor . He sent me some seeds too .

Steve H , just to confirm.
The Paqui chips you bought at Wegmans, they were the bagged Ghost Pepper chips or the single chip in a coffin box, 'One Chip Challenge'?

I see their bagged chips in three to four flavors in stores/truck stops, but never the 'One Chip Challenge'.
