I'm going to Whole Foods after work to get some. If they don't have it I'm ordering here:

mmmm sounds like it'd be pretty amazing to try. too bad my cooking prowess centers around ramen (though i bet it'd be amazing in it)

I thought about planting some but didn't. maybe next year.

seriously, i'm just kidding. ghost chilis are too hot to use in food. or as food. lol @ me using the word mundane. what can i say, i'm in a great mood! the panda express was on point today, on rough ridin' point.

I planted some habanero/scotch bonnet hybrid deals that are supposed to be pretty hot. Obv. not even close to being hot like those ghosts are. Did you see the lady that ate, like, 50 of them in 5 minutes? Insane.

pissclams · « **Reply #6 on:** July 22, 2010, 01:00:03 PM »

i like habaneros a lot. i can't believe that lady ate 50 ghost peppers in 5 minutes. her ass had to taste like crap. painting the walls is what i'd be doing if i ate 50 ghosts, painting everything behind me. i do like a good spice though guys, i've got to be honest with you and just put that out there. of course, if i eat too much of the spice then my stomach hurts at like 4 or 5 in the morning, it's weird. who knows why- i tried some heart burn medicine called protonix (sp?) and it seemed to help. for a while there i put tobasco on everything i ate (MAYBE except chocolate milk

) . ya i know old toby aint that hot but it can do a number on your insides if you slather your food with it non-stop. who knows what science will come up with next, super ghost peppers? hell, even double ghosts would be tough, even triples would be damn near impossible so you can only imagine what a super ghost would be like.

Work pretty close to a place in Lenexa called Woody's Pub & Grub, it's fairly new and tried it out a week ago. Pretty good burgers for being a little dive bar, plus the place is super EMAW

. They have a food challenge of a burger that is seasoned with ghost chiles and fries sprinkled with habanero chowder. Have to eat everything in 25 minutes and then sit for 5 minutes without drinking anything. Some buddies of mine are going to try it next time we go, i'm on the fence. Want to try it, but don't want my bad person to be a flame thrower...

Those words should never be used in the same sentence. Unless of course that sentence is, "Shoot that bad person with the flamethrower." Or something like that.

So you see the dilemma I face...

So some guy a friend works with bring some in, my bud grabs one and pops it in thinking it's just going to be hot. After a minute he hit the ground gasping for air, they called the ambulance. Says they probably saved his life.

steve dave · « **Reply #11 on:** July 22, 2010, 05:12:00 PM »

Oh man, I under sold the lady. She actually ate 51 in 2 minutes and then smeared the seeds of 25 chiles in her eyes for a minute. JFC. Broke the previous record of 8.

sounds like she's a little bitch who is scared of double, triple and super ghosts. who knows, maybe she's just a puss and not really scared. either way, if i ever had the chance for a triple ghost then i would eat it but i don't know about the super ghost only because who knows what type of intensity it is. not me, i don't. of course everyone thinks they can super ghost but the reality is that super ghosts have rarely met a person who can tame them, at least that's my opinion anyway. then again if you can triple (i'm not saying i can) then maybe you can super. hell worse case scenario you try to super and don't make it but it's better to fail trying to super than never to have tried.

pissclams · « **Reply #13 on:** July 22, 2010, 05:32:18 PM »

i guess the same can be said of triples.

jtksu · « **Reply #14 on:** July 22, 2010, 06:20:46 PM »

You can't triple hot a super ghost. You can't triple hot a super ghost!

pissclams · « **Reply #15 on:** July 22, 2010, 06:55:06 PM »

supers > triples but are they 3x a triple? probably not. my guess is that a triple is probably 1/2 a super- possibly 1/4 a super? the only people who would know are people that have had both triples and supers, but has anyone even survived both? doubt it, i really do doubt that anyone would try both a triple and a super. if they did try both they probably had the super so long after they had the triple that they couldn't remember what the triple was even like. of course anyone who's downing supers with any regularity would not have a clue how a double tastes let alone a triple. thoughts?

I'd eat a triple but never a super

bakerman · « **Reply #18 on:** July 23, 2010, 09:49:46 AM »

You eat a super, you're never tasting ANYTHING for a very long time, possible ever again.
