There are hot peppers and then there are HOT peppers. This afternoon we were talking about the Scoville rating system and how some peppers are hotter than others. The Scoville scale measures how hot chili peppers are. The number of Scoville heat units indicate how much capsaicin is present in the pepper. Capsaicin is the chemical compound responsible for the hot sensation you feel when eating a pepper.
Recently, an ESPN reporter casually took a bite out of a Bhut Joloki pepper, not realizing how hot it would be. Not even milk could cut the heat. If you want to see how he handled it, read more

Awww, poor guy. Makes ya feel kind of sorry for himwhen you're laughing at him!
5I feel bad for laughing LOL
6Mamaseacat, green peppers are not spicy at all (seriously, not even a tiny, tiny bit), and you shouldn't be afraid! They are quite delicious and contain lots of water.
7I love hot peppers.. but 5-6 hours of hotness -yowzas!!
8I love how he took another bite!! That was probably the funniest game break segment I've ever seen, they're usually so annoying. Although if it was a game I wanted to see I probably still woulda been mad, hehe.
9that was hilarious, and when the other reporter said, "you stay classy rob stone," that was icing on the cake.
10Who's done that before?
11Hee! I've seen that pepper grower on the Food Network before, he always cracks up at the different tv personalities that eat his peppers. I love hot peppers, but not that hot!
12SilentVamp, I was joking. Of course I can eat green (bell) peppers. I'm just not a "hot" fan.
13"How long is this going to last?" !!!! hahahahahahahahaha
14what a douche
HOT HOT HOT HOT
15that was hilarious. my husband loved it.
16Oh man that was funny. HELLO I know not to take a bite out of SOME peppers and I like hot. . I saw this one where a teenage ate a habanaro and I could not watch him it was so painful looking.
17That poor guy. I have done this before so I know how painful it can be.
18I started to get worried when he touched his eyes later in the segment (thankfully with his other hand), because hot pepper resin on fingers and then those in your eyes? PAINFUL!
19Oh my oh my...
20i still get a kick out of this...
21LOL that was great!!
