Move over Ghost Pepper. There's a new king in town.

The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Pepper is now the worlds hottest pepper.

The golf ball-sized pepper scored the highest among a handful of chile breeds reputed to be among the hottest in the world. Its mean heat topped more than 1.2 million units on the Scoville heat scale, while fruits from some individual plants reached 2 million heat units.

This one-upping on hottest pepper stuff isn't going to stop until someone dies.

It's getting out of control. The videos on YT make some of these peppers look like a literal hell on earth.

They should make that underwear bomber eat one each day while in prison.

Drunk drivers too.

I have tried the ghost chili and it is very hot. Works real good in chili.

I have not tried this new one but the name is awesome.

The Food Network needs to send The Heat Seekers out to try it. :laugh1:

During harvesting, senior research specialist Danise Coon said she and the two students who were picking the peppers went through about four pairs of latex gloves.
"The capsaicin kept penetrating the latex and soaking into the skin on our hands. That has never happened to me before," she said.

In other words, don't pick these peppers then piddle with your pecker.

I don't know why but this made me laugh out loud. :laugh2:

I don't want anything with that combines the words Trinidad, Moruga, and Scorpion in my mouth.

Somewhere there is a Darwin Award just waiting to be earned by some single chap with a package of peppers. :laugh1:

Apparently, a condom won't do you any good either!

I didnt know you could actually eat these and not burn your mouth?

I kept thinking that i would come across the ghost chili somewhere but i haven't had any luck. I might have to order it online.

BTW, how does the ghost chili compare to, say, the Habanero chili?

Simple. Eat one, then immediately have someone knock you unconscious with a baseball bat. When you wake up, you will have already endured the worst of it.

While if you live in San Antonio or visit there they have a burger joint with the four horseman burger challenge. Here is a blog that talks about it

Habanero they say rates about 100,000 to 350,000 on the Scoville measurement. The Bhut Jolokia (aka Ghost Pepper) is suppose to be between 800,000 to a 1million on the scoville scale

Here is a nice link showing where the peppers rank on the heat scale

Thank you Kangaroo! I know about the Scoville scale but I was looking for a bit more descriptive comparison as far as taste and type of heat since Hos said he has tried the Ghost Chile.
