That third chili is a Yellow canary birdseye.
Oh, dear, why did you do that???!? The whole video I was sticking with you, begging you to stop. Was definitely chiming in on your victory dance/song– 🎶🎵 "He doesn't have to try anymore…" 🎵🎶 👏👏👏
…dang it, you're probably growing Pepper X for a follow-on already. Don't do it, man! Don't do it!
You should try pepper X
Can you even use the last three for anything? Also great video!
Chilli plants when theyre well cared for will be less spicy than plants that are in hostile environments so could be why the jalapenos were so mild
Chilis are great but I prefer them cooked with a bunch of other food … although I've never had a reaper. Thai peppers are awesome and easy to grow.
I reckon those really hot ones are pointless, why would anyone want to put themselves through what you just did. Bugger that! You’re a legend for going to the end.
13:22 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Now prepare yourself for a second round in about 8 hours or so, now from the other side
Theres a reason they get processed, cooked and mixed with other ingredients 😂
I once grew some Habaneros and they were just too hot to enjoy. Just pain in a small package. Anyway, I took some in to work, and a young bloke who had never tried a chilli, ate one whole. He didn’t react at all, so had another. Again … no reaction.
The next day he phoned in sick. He was sick with stomach issues for a week.
I worked with a Malaysian guy, and at lunch he’d buy chilli wings which were so hot that he’d be crying and sweating. He used to just say “I love it so much”.
Anyway I told this to a Singaporean coworker the other day and she said “Ooh, I love it hot as well”. I asked why she loves it so hot, and asserted that it can’t taste nice, and she said “It’s an addiction. It’s not about the taste. It’s what it does to your body that is so good”.
So yeah, I think so people are wired differently.
Oh my god it must be bad. Out of all the videos I’ve watched I’ve never heard you swear, and today you drop the F bomb LOL I don’t blame you mate. You’re very brave. I almost cry when I bite on fresh cracked pepper corn 🤣🤣
There is a Chinese beverage that instantly neutralizes spicy flavors. I don't remember the name. It's usually drunk after eating sichuan peppercorns. Does anyone know the name? I think it comes in red can.
Wow respect man, I wouldn't want to trade places, especially the day after when going to the toilet!
Feeling so sorry for your 🍩💍🛟🪐
I quite like the Carolina Reaper, but I don't eat it often,because it doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time preparing complex food just for myself because no one else around here eats it. So I just have a pre-made sauce for pasta or to enhance a soup. I also had the opportunity to try the chilli honey and it wasn't bad at all, it was based on Trinidad Moruga scorpion(SHU over 1M).
It's even painful to watch
This is the funniest video I've seen in a long time.
Ive been growing some habanero hybrids this year that are on the same heat scale as ghost peppers, i dont do heat well but im curious to see what others think of the taste!
Your a brave brave man….. or … 😛
jalapenos have crazy variance
Wait until tomorrow! 😢
You need to try the Warthog. It is now the hottest chilli. The Carolina Reaper has not been the hottest for some time now
Plant based milk? Didnt know they had teets
Wooow you got my respect…
lmao, did you lose a bet?? hahaha. I grow almost all of these varieties, have been for the better part of the last decade for some. I'm a huge pepper head and love the heat but watching you eat the ghost onwards was just a great laugh. I'm honestly not a huge fan of the flavor of ghost peppers, but reapers are so so sooooooooooo good, provided you can tolerate them.
What about the "Scotch Bonnet".
I grew those chillis too! They grew really well in FNQ, AUS. They fruited almost all year round when I was there. The only problem I had with them is that they are so hot that when I am even near the picked fruit, the back of my head starts sweating. And after preparing them as a concentrate for a Beef Jerky recipe, I thought I had washed my hands well enough as I washed them very thoroughly indeed! but after forgetting about the chilli and believing my hands were clean, later I thoughtlessly rubbed my eye… I still managed to get some in my eye, despite all that care to not get 2.2+ scoville in my eye, and my eye hurt for like three days.
Great job well done
You wont be entering any chili eating contests soon then? 😀 I hope you put the toilet paper in the fridge for later!
Thanks for taking the pain for us!
😂 informative video . but the whole time all i can think of is why are you take such big bites 😅. I love spicy food.
