Is she sick for doing it? Are we for watching? She has every comfort she could possibly want in life, but on purpose she records herself suffering for our pleasure. In the infamous “Hot Ones” interview, as host Sean Evans shook a bottle, Lawrence repeatedly asked “What do you mean?!” in a broken voice. This is the show that is responsible for a recent Jennifer Lawrence clip that has gone viral. It’s all about putting these peppers into sauces and making celebrities eat them. “ Hot Ones” is a showcase of these cross-breeding talents. Some peppers are in fact named after terms for insanity, death and other perilous words. Over time we thought, ‘What if we breed peppers to be even hotter?’ Today, we're cross-breeding peppers to create insanely spicy variants. The emu war was for a different reason.Īnyway, I guess we started eating spicy food fairly easily. Somewhere along the line humans thought, ‘Hey! Those could be our meals!’ And we went to war with the birds. Birds get a tasty meal – one that other, non-seed-scattering animals tend to avoid – and pepper plants get to spread their genes across the land. It's an evolutionary win-win situation for both birds and pepper plants. They lack the receptors to register capsaicin's effects, making them the unwitting ally of pepper seed distribution.Īs birds feast on spicy peppers, they happily gobble up the seeds and fly off to spread them far and wide – or on someone's car. While humans and other mammals experience the burning sensation, birds couldn’t care less about the spice. Capsaicin, the compound responsible for a pepper’s fiery heat, has evolved as a clever defense mechanism. First, lets talk about peppers, the spicy plants themselves.

The very final mouth burn on wing number 10 comes courtesy of Hot Ones The Last Dab Reduxx, which contains Pepper X, the world's hottest (as of February 2019) at over 3 million Scoville units. Some are sweet and mild, but others are brutal mixtures of chipotle peppers, ghost peppers, habanero peppers, and anything else Hell cooks up. Hot Ones even has their own line of sauces, aptly named the Hot Ones hot sauces. It breaches the 2 million Scoville unit mark, and as the show's guests make their way through the 10 increasingly spicy wings, they're introduced to the Reaper at some point. While that sounds like plenty, they don't even scratch the surface of what exists, and hot sauce connoisseurs will admit even they cower in the face of certain brands. The more droplets of sweat falling off foreheads means more Scoville heat units, and the sauces on Hot Ones reach the top of the scale. Jalapeños, for example, register anywhere between 2,500 and 10,000 Scoville units. ![]() ![]() The Scoville scale measures the pungency of chili peppers and other sweat-inducing cuisine. ![]()
