Tried these at a party last night.  The jar on the ghost pepper salsa rate it a 10 on a heat scale.  I was disappointed.  Taco Bell has hotter products.

So, we got brave and decided to try the Stupid Hot salsa.  It was a 10+ on the heat scale on the jar.  Well, it was the real deal.  It is made with Carolina Reapers.  I had about a half teaspoon on a tostitos scoop and felt the impact of it for about 5 minutes.  My buddy sent me a picture of the ingredients label on the jar this morning.  The first ingredient listed is....Pain.

I grew some Fatalii peppers this year on a lark.   Found out after trying one that Fatalii is Moroccan for fatal.   They rank right up there with the ghost pepper.   Never again.  I'll stick with my habanero and count myself lucky.

Can I find this scale somewhere, or was it just on these products a marketing tool?

It was a 10+ on the heat scale on the jar.

just on these products as a marketing tool

You could look at a Scoville scale, but they are usually out of date within a few months.

I did a challenge at work.  Friend (If you can call him that, evil xxxxxx) got hold of 10 ghost peppers fresh.  Cut in half raw and had to chew it for 30 seconds and swallow.  Was pretty funny all of us did it at the same time.  Dayun that was hot!  That was ohh 8 years ago or so.  Now the scoville rating on the new ones is like twice as hot.  Man there are some crazy folks out there!  That said I do have really hot reaper hot sauce and add 1 tsp to my wet jerky mix for 5 lbs of jerky.

Anyone ever experiment with the szechuan peppercorns for heat?

What is the reaper hot sauce you have?  I've tried one of the 1.2mm scoville ones.  Yikes!

Ohh I duuno, just a small bottle I bought at a craft fair where they sold stuff.  It's everywhere now, even Popeyes Chicken now.
