What Is The Most Hottest Chilli In The World?

[Sparky22]

We want to prank our 90 year old grandmother with one and film it for you've been framed!

[lardhelmet]

Hilarious. Not.

[Svejk]

oh it is funny.

[murraymints]

that is unforgivable

[Sparky22]

She's quite sprightly and always pranks us as we come from a large pranking family. You can't go 5 minutes in my house before someone pranks you!

Scotch Bonnet

[DTCwordfan]

that is irresponsible as the hottest chilli would blow her throat out.

Otherwise, hire chillidoubt - he's hot.

[murraymints]

there are pranks and there is physical cruelty

[humbersloop]

can I do the grammar pedant thing now, or is sparky too new?

[DTCwordfan]

Scotch Bonnet is around 250000 Scoville units, the Californian Reaper is nearly ten times the strength.

Hold off for a day or two, humber....I think sparky may be a youngster

[Sparky22]

She put chilli oil in our milk so when we had our breakfast it made us scream! She's a born practical joker, swears a lot smokes and drinks. She also gave a mugger a clout in the face when he tried to rob her handbag so she's hardly a poor old lady!

We need the hottest or chilli oil extract

[DTCwordfan]

I suggest that you try it first before pulling such a stupid stunt.

[Prudie]

The Dorset Naga is one of the hottest but the prank is puerile.

[jourdain2]

That is just not on Sparky.

[Psybbo]

OK, humour fade on here!

[DTCwordfan]

READ this, Sparky, especially the No 2 contribution and you may think again....

Sparky!!! I've told you a dozen times! Now stop this larking about and get on with the dishes or it'll be more than chilli oil in your milk tomorrow! Then homework and bed....NOW!!!!!

The 2nd post was about injected themselves with extract dtcwordfan

So it IS safe

"Having a look at very hot chilli, consensus seems to be the Moruga Scorpion is the hottest chilli, at around 2,000,000 scoville units. It seems that scoville units are fairly imprecise, but on average, to convert from scoville to ppm you divide by 15. So this comes out to roughly 133g of capsaicin per kilogram of Morgua Chilli. So for a 100 kg person, the LD50 of Moruga Chillis would be somewhere between 300g and 3kg of these chillis. So you'd have to eat an absurdly large amount to kill yourself."

Yay!

[jourdain2]

Well said gness! Humbersloop - how many grammar pedants do you think it will take? There must be others we can enlist.

[humbersloop]

really, ladya?

there's been a lot of it about today - if Sparky wanted a chimp to prank granny's party I wouldn't be surprised
