The hottest peppers in the world

Pepper "hotness" is measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU). For a comparison, pepper spray (the stuff you spray on an attacker, not in him) is measured at 2,000,000 - 5,300,000 SHU. A plain old bell pepper is measured at 0 SHU. Tabasco Sauce is 2500-5000 SHU. Hopefully that gives you a sense of scale.

Here are the hottest peppers in the world:

BHUT JOLOKIA : this is the hottest pepper in the world according to guiness world records as of this date. I took a very tiny taste of an extract from this pepper: watered down with vinegar water: and i agree this is one hottie. bad thing though: it causes suffering even watered down: also a neat side effect: after a while if you burp you get to suffer all that pain again!!

On account of I have habbo credits , I am not afraid of the lonely. At that time I do not know the meaning of it. Later I buy habbo gold . And every time, I have no habbo coins , I will feel very anxious. Why I buy habbo gold , please it gives me such a warm place. At the moment, I have cheap habbo credits .
