Kinda like the war. Island hoping through the Pacific theater for ages, then they just drop two extre spicy bombs and the whole deal is done
That’s like whipping out a Carolina Reaper when you’re only used to Jalepeños…
Ohhh, I'm about to compete in the Australian chilli eating championship.
We're going well above Reapers.
Tomorrow is going to really suck for my body
What is above Reapers? Pure capsaicin? Resiniferatoxin?
Reapers pull in around 1,500,000 to 2,200,000 SHU Then there is Pepper X which is 2,693,000 SHU.
After that extracts which range all the way up to pure capsaicin which is 16,000,000 SHU.
Nothing can be hotter then that. People claim hotter by saying you can stack two 10m extracts etc but that's just volume not technically hotter.

Update I pulled out 4th my stomach couldn't handle it. Got the biggest cramps so I'm lying on my bed suffering at the moment waiting for the cramps to pass
Resiniferatoxin has entered the chat: 16,000,000,000 SHU
Wishing you a smooth recovery!
Damn I haven't heard of this,
That's insane, but I wonder if it would be similar to 16,000,000 if it's safe to eat.
I have found once you broach the 5m SHU mark I can't tell the difference except in the effects on my stomach.
Though 16billion is a huge leap
Probably not undiluted:
Though since it is so potent, it sounds like you can still taste it well below the toxic concentration.
