Chili Pepper News — Scorpion

In 2012, the scorpion chili pepper was the hottest in the world. At least, that’s what the Guinness Book of World Records reported; it was the hottest pepper that had ever been put up for testing. The scorpion’s reign didn’t last long; the Carolina reaper took its throne a year later. But, that doesn’t mean you should discount the sting of a scorpion. It’s very much like putting a live scorpion (you know, the little critters you try desperately to avoid in tropical climates).
