I had a rather spicy shift at work today. Which was partly my own fault. Medium-length story short.. First day back at work for all of March. Was told we got a new sweet exotic pepper in. First instinct was that it was a trap but seeing as how the pepper looked different from the hot pepper I had eaten back in the summertime I dismissed my instincts. So I popped the whole pepper, which is fairly small, into my mouth and swallowed it. Waited 5 seconds. Looked at both of my co-workers and said "You fucking bastards, this is a haben-" And then.. Uh.. Tears started pouring from my eyes, my entire face went flush red and my eyes became so bloodshot even Snoop Dogg would be taken back. I bolted to the bathroom, started rubbing my tongue down with paper towels. Spit as much saliva as I could into the toilet. Afterwards I ate a banana. Then downed a bottle of milk. Fuck, that was spicy. I hold no grudges though, it helped clear my sinuses out a bit. Anyways, here is is: Habanero Chili <table class="wikitable"><tbody><tr><td style="background-color: black; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" align="right">15,000,000–16,000,000</td> <td>Pure capsaicin<sup id="_ref-2" class="reference">[4]</sup></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(117, 0, 0); color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" align="right">9,100,000</td> <td>Nordihydrocapsaicin</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(191, 0, 0); color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" align="right">2,000,000–5,300,000</td> <td>Standard U.S. Grade pepper spray <sup id="_ref-TimesDorsetNaga_0" class="reference">[5]</sup></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(239, 0, 0); color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" align="right">855,000–1,041,427</td> <td>Naga Jolokia <sup id="_ref-3" class="reference">[6]</sup><sup id="_ref-4" class="reference">[7]</sup><sup id="_ref-bosland_0" class="reference">[8]</sup><sup id="_ref-5" class="reference">[9]</sup></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(255, 48, 0); color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" align="right">350,000–577,000</td> <td>Red Savina Habanero</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(255, 96, 0);" align="right">100,000–350,000</td> <td>Habanero chili,<sup id="_ref-homecookingabout_0" class="reference">[10]</sup> Scotch Bonnet <sup id="_ref-homecookingabout_1" class="reference">[10]</sup></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(255, 128, 0);" align="right">100,000–200,000</td> <td>Rocoto, Jamaican Hot Pepper <sup id="_ref-TimesDorsetNaga_1" class="reference">[5]</sup>, African Birdseye</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(255, 144, 0);" align="right">50,000–100,000</td> <td>Thai Pepper, Malagueta Pepper, Chiltepin Pepper, Pequin Pepper</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(255, 160, 0);" align="right">30,000–50,000</td> <td>Cayenne Pepper, Ajà pepper <sup id="_ref-homecookingabout_2" class="reference">[10]</sup>, Tabasco pepper</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(255, 176, 0);" align="right">10,000–23,000</td> <td>Serrano Pepper</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(255, 192, 0);" align="right">5,000–10,000</td> <td>Wax Pepper</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(238, 204, 0);" align="right">4,500–5,000</td> <td>New Mexican varieties of Anaheim pepper <sup id="_ref-6" class="reference">[11]</sup></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(238, 202, 0);" align="right">2,500–8,000</td> <td>Jalapeño Pepper</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(238, 234, 0);" align="right">1,500–2,500</td> <td>Rocotillo Pepper</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(222, 250, 0);" align="right">1,000–1,500</td> <td>Poblano Pepper</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(187, 255, 0);" align="right">500–2,500</td> <td>Anaheim pepper <sup id="_ref-7" class="reference">[12]</sup></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(136, 255, 0);" align="right">100–500</td> <td>Pimento <sup id="_ref-TimesDorsetNaga_2" class="reference">[5]</sup>, Pepperoncini</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: rgb(52, 204, 0);" align="right">0</td> <td>No heat, Bell pepper <sup id="_ref-TimesDorsetNaga_3" class="reference">[5]</sup></td></tr></tbody></table>
