Sounds like just the thing for the guys from Dumb and Dumber...

Would be fun to grow but to hot to use in anything really. Takes very little ghost to spice up a dish to the point that most people cant eat it. I think just the fumes coming off this one would be hot enough for most dishes. Though i do have some local cats the have taken to my plant bed, perhaps some of this ground up might just do the trick to finally run them off.

If that's really true. Than DAMN!!!!!
I can't even fathom something twice as hot as a Reaper. Absolutely crazy.

Wow. Every year they are coming out with new strains that just keep getting hotter and hotter. I am starting to move towards unique flavors and colors mixed with different levels of heat. Like smokey heat or sweet heat. I think they are becoming much more interesting in the pepper world than just having a pepper that burns your face off. Being hot, just to be hot doesn't make much sense to me. Don't get me wrong I love ghosts and whatever those plants were I grew this year, but I don't really think I need to go any hotter, I will look for more unique flavors and colors going forward. Maybe that is just me...........

Very interesting, looks like they have a good Marketing idea too! Can't keep it on the shelves? Price has gotta go up, right? Not sure I want to grow them, but it may be the only way to try them out.
