Because Some Kids Never Grow Up

Carolina Reaper

Since 2013, Guinness World Records has declared the Carolina Reaper the hottest chilli pepper in the world, beating the previous record holders by nearly 1m SHU (according to some), the Trinidad Scorpion "Butch T".

So How Hot Are They?

 Take the HOTTEST Jalapeño you've ever had, let's say 8,000 SHU multiply that by 200 and you arrive at the MILDEST Carolina Reaper around 1.5m SHU.

What is SHU?

 The Scoville Scale or Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) is a measurement of the pungency  or heat of chilli peppers and other spicy foods.

So How Hot Are The World's Hottest Gummy Bears?

 Short answer, Very. Very F*cking Hot. Just ask anyone who has tried even one. These are not just spicy or hot but designed to challenge even the bravest souls. You should certainly #fearthereapers
