Freshly ground black pepper makes me sweat.

Sriracha means having wiped sweat napkins on the table as I eat.

As an Asian, I encounter both often when dining out with people.

pic related, if someone so much as opens a bottle near me my nose starts to run and my eyes start to leak like open faucets

I know the joke nigger

abut i'm dfurnk

WHAT THE FUCK DOES ITR AMTTER

>>6388019
is scoville really worth anything? I know it's meant to measure the hotness of the pepper or something but really, if you have peppers going to 2 million scovilles and you use that as a rating system you really need updating.

It just seems like they plaster on an arbitrary number. How is that one even decided?

>>6388031
Even the metric system is arbitrary. 1 meter = 1/299,792,458 of the speed of light. We're human beings and we make shit up as we go along.

I feel you mang. Water makes me sweat so hard. As someone from a deep and rich culture that values spicy food, I am a shame to my family.

One time a particle of stale bread was carried on the breeze and brushed against the exterior of my house while I was in there. I immediately went blind and had to be rushed to hospital with respiratory and digestive failure.

>>6388031
It's how many parts of water to the pepper it takes for the spice to become unnoticeable.
you'd need a lot more water to dilute like a habanero than you would a jalapeno

>>6388027
Too bad it was a really shitty and unfunny joke.

This was actually painful to eat.

>green tobasco
Shit it's not even as hot as regular tobasco but even thinking about it makes me tear up

I thought I was the only one.

Incorrect. A lot of things are used as a base, it's not just water or vinegar. Pic related Melinda's, this is excellent, carrots are the base.

>>6388031
It used to mean something, it really doesn't anymore, now it's a marketing term.

Reread the post you're quoting, he's explaining how the scoville system works. And yes, that is how it is determined, and it actually is a metric.

Can't read and is wrong, it's a 2fer.

I ate a scotch bonnet pepper whole once for no reason. I was able to swallow it, but vomited after having it in my stomach for a few minutes.

>>6390600
That sucks. Scotch Bonnets are delicious though. Better than a regular habanero

>>6388031

nah not really

its terrible at gauging actual heat because heat comes from more than just capsaicin

on top of that the test is like
>>6388501
said (not exactly though, it involves a panel, alcohol and sugar water)

so just because something is 10 times greater on the scoville scale does not mean it is actually ten times hotter, just that it takes ten times as much sugar water for a majority of the panel to no longer taste it

if any of you think that the scale actually measures degrees of heat, try eating 30 serranos at once and tell me its the same heat level as a single habanero


its become nothing but a marketing benchmark and a dick measuring contest for pepper breeders

Bread, every time I make a PBJ sandwich I have to wear a chem suit so my hands don't go numb from making it.

>>6391203
Damn, how do you even eat PBJ. It's like the fucking hottest sandwich there is. Even hotter than ham and cheese.

>>6393078
I don't, I just make them out of habit.
