Painful to the touch. 1.6 million on the Scolville scale. Terrifying. Pepper spray is 2 million on the Scolville. The Dorcet Naga is the hottest pepper available, and it isn’t. At least not here in the Land of the Sort-Of Free. Designed by a mad scientist in Britain named Michael Michaud, he was able to sell this to Tesco- the Euro Walmart. And it flew off the stinkin shelves all over the UK! Who knew the Brits liked it that hot! Apparently, they like it a lot hotter than we do in the States. I for one am totally ashamed. I thought we were cool. But I guess we aren’t because we can’t get a god damn stupid Dorset Naga.
The Economist talks all about it. Read more here.
Yeah, I read the Economist. What?
