World's Hottest Pepper

A guy at work sent out an email advertising some really hot peppers that he wanted to give away. So I grabbed some of the most famous ones. I thought it would be fun to grow some next year. Here is a picture for you to see and a scale to compare them. The guy I got them from ate a very small Chocolate Habanero and it was so hot it made him puke! The one at the top is the current world record holder! over 1,000,000 on the scale when a Jalepeno is about 3,000.

Jared are you going to eat them after you grow them? Holy cow they look intimidating. I'm a big chicken with hot peppers though, I like hot stuff, but not that hot. Where did your co-worker get them, did he grow them himself? Remember that sun bird who loved your really hot salsa? I thought for sure he'd croak, but he didn't. We miss you guys!!! Love ya'.
