>hottest pepper in da world spicey? Let me try it because i say meme
>yfw

see i'm all for hot shit but if it doesn't also taste good there's no fucking point eating it.

I think at this point it's not even food. It's more like "eatable" than "edible".

You could never really use this on a dish. Might as well just squirt pepper spray on your meal.

>>16039417
I've never cooked with them but I think the idea is to dry them out and use one quarter to a half of one for a gigantic pot of chili.

>>16039394
it helps with losing weight. you should try it if you have pounds to lose

>AHHHH MY MOUTH IS ON FIRE

>>16039434
Depends, even a little can destroy a giant pot of chili if no one is able to handle the heat.

>>16039417
>he has never mixed mango with habanero

Chilli grower here.

How "hot" a chilli is is a bit of a misnomer.
You could just add pure capcicum oil to your food- but that would suck.
Really you want to add chilli for flavor, and thus adding more chilli by volume instead of a "hotter" chilli is typically the way to go.
The only ones pushing "hotter" chilies are capitalists who can make more profit selling them

In Bhutan and the lower himalayas people eat chillies like regular vegetables, often raw.
Similarly my moirpoix is green chilli, red onion and ginger.

I thought it caught on because of youtubers and other social media people doing "macho" challenges and turning the entire thing into a meme.

>>16039510

i use them for things that i want to be hotter, but not taste like cayenne.
it only takes a little bit.

>>16039417
you can work your way up in tolrance i know you can get high from the adrenaline rush from hot peppers though

>>16039512
Why do Americans persistently fail to see the connection between the strange behavior in their media with the commercial interests in their country?

Do you really think any of these food crazes are organic?
What is a viral marketing agency?
Who actually pays youtubers bills?
I will admit that when I was younger I myself fell for such ploys, in fact my business profited heavily off the back of them.
While I might use HYPE to get more sales, I'm not going to bullshit a Chinese basket weaving forum

>>16039563
So people like LA Beast were originally paid by shadow capitalists a decade ago? Sounds kind of far fetched, anon.

>Shadow capitalists
They are called marketing agencies, they have offices,they have phone numbers, you can hire them.

It's not different to product placement in movies, the lack of transparency isn't due to the viewer- it's actually a commercial dynamic where everyone involved in media is trying to pocket a bit of money on the side without their employer knowing.
If I'm a marketing agent selling coke, I might try to sneak in the color purple because I'm running an add for Cadburry chocolate the next week.

I don't know about your L.A beast guy- but his wikipedia page says he spearhead a major Pepsi campaign and if we check it turns out that he is in fact a former Pepsi employee.
>In 2008, Strahle moved to Los Angeles[17] and obtained a job working for Pepsi. After two years, he quit after a manager told him he wasn't "persistent enough" to be a salesman within PepsiCo
So on paper, this guy looks like a shill.

Every single competitive eating contest he goes to seem to be sponsored by a major food company.
We can argue semantics about whether or not he is an employee/lobbyist/ enthusiast- but objectively the food insdustry directly pays his bills

I'm sure that stuff happens but it just seems like the simplest explanation is that there were desperate people on Youtube like LA Beast, Shoenice, etc eating crazy shit that made them puke and people found it entertaining so they watched it. They made money from it so others copied them until it snowballed.

>>16039644
In the 2000's viral marketing became an industry, and lobbyists started hiring private media personalities to hype their products instead of hiring traditional celebrities.

paris hilton goes to the oscars with a gucci bag, youtube star drinks 10 liters of pepsi- little has changed in terms of dynamics.
The food industry is one of the most jewed in the world because nobody can avoid it and the consumers are uneducated- like the loans market.

I have lived to see more health fads than I can count, endless magic ingredients, revolutionary products and most are frankly just distractions from the fact we are moving further from nature.

Milk is for babies, men should not molest cows.
I'm not going to say it's unhealthy or immoral- it's just degenerate behavior that gets a lots of people nowhere

>>16039408
Memes were a mistake. No one knows what is real anymore.

>>16039394
>You guys are just pussies
Famous last words

>>16039695
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality.

>>16039685
I do agree that advertising agencies jump on Internet crazes but by the time that they do, they're rather late to the party. As an example, I saw a lot of people on the Internet back in 2008 talking about sriracha but by the time places like Mcdonalds and other gigantic chains started latching onto it, the Internet had already moved on from it. The same applies to crazy meme peppers IMO. It was the little desperate guys that made it popular by putting their bodies through hell for youtube/Internet views and it took years before marketers picked up on the fact that "food challenges" are big business.

>>16039417
He doesnts knows about the mace turkeys. He's fucking dildos.

>>16039394
Hot Pepper are for brown people to cover up the fact they can’t cook with flavor

>>16039417
So according to this image a carolina reaper is about the same "heat" as pepper spray?

>>16039394
>Reaper in the fucking name
This is peak zoomer brain.

>>16039801
I mean I wouldn't say that none of the food-casting is inorganic; but the vast majority of it is.
People should stop watching food and start eating food.
We should start cooking and stop buying food.

I'm perpetually frustrated how many /ck/ threads are just fast food shills, and the lack of interest in cooking on the food board.

Are you some kind of retarded person for thinking that milk is only for kids? Yes, yes you are.

Calcium is important, and remains important your entire life

>>16039408
lol fpbp

The real question is, how many calories do you involuntarily burn when under the excruciating pain of a few million scovilles?

I can imagine the potential for a weight loss program here.

>>16039417
This. You don't really need anything spicier than habanero peppers. Anything hotter just ruins the dish and if you have a retarded guest who just wants spicy, just give them a hot sauce to ruin their meal with.

>>16040503
Milk is the worst dairy product, and too much calcium makes your bones inflexible and more likely to break.

>>16039394
The explosions -loud like a bomb- gave me a temporary case of PTSD!

What the fuck

>>16039394
>I FUCKING LOVE HOT SAUCE!

>>16041026
You have to balance calcium intake with potassium or magnesium, can’t remember which. Getting a good ratio between the two makes your skeleton as tough as steel

>>16041127
You need both
Potassium is in every cell in your body
Magnesium has like 100+ uses in the body, and is in your blood

>>16039394
I ate a whole one last year thinking I was a big man... had to lay on my bed for a good 30 minutes afterwards.
I love spicy food but eating a fresh reaper is fucking agony.

>>16039579
‘Capitalist’ is literally everyone. Even self-professed communists are just shitty capitalists in denial. Capitalism is just a modern term for the concept of property rights, which has existed since life crawled out of the primordial soup. It is the natural order of things.

>>16041170
Yes, but one of them specifically works with calcium to manage bone structure and strength. I’m fairly certain it’s magnesium.

yeah people who aren't into hot sauces are total pussies
nothing says manly like being able to tolerate a poison

>>16039394
>burns your dick off

>>16039417
>2,009,231
very specific number for such an arbitrarily, uselessly large scale. i wonder how much hotter this is than a chili that rates 2,009,230 scoville units? fucking dumb faggot retard scale for retards.

>>16039394
Scorpion pepper is better

>>16039695
Most people know that hot pepper is hot. OP's the kind of guy who thinks he's badass for eating raw jalapenos and drinking Tabasco sauce.

>>16041317
Imagine blowing someone after eating some extremely spicy pepper. Would it even be possible to cum if it kept going or would the pain just shut down your boner?

>>16039510
got a link?

>>16039394
Guess white people really can’t handle it

>>16040098

serious question, what would the er do for him in this case? give him fluids? painkillers? would pumping his stomach work since the offending thing is just a few drops worth of liquid?

>>16040098

I'm guessing that they gave him a charcoal drink and some sedatives.
