I like alcoholic jalapenos :(

Ribs sound great! As long as you spice them with Naga Jolokia peppers

Ingesting one of those peppers would kill you, the capsaicin is much too high. You can't even touch it with your bare hands.

Really?

Well, it looks like I'll be using a different source of information from now on >.>

Yeah, he ate them on a hamburger. I think that was one of the only spicy challenges that he did not finish.

I wonder if datura really is as dangerous as this list says then... if the info was wrong about the peppers. It's a list of dangerous foods, apparently a tribe of Indians used to make children ingest datura as a rite of passage into adulthood, and in some cases they ended up mentally disabled, or forgot how to eat or speak after ingesting it.

You'd think they would learn after the first batch of kids had brain damage.

But to them, it was just something ingrained into their culture I guess. The amnesia caused by datura was supposed to make you forget what it was like to be a child, or something.

Culture doesn't change over night. Some times, that's for the worse.

Wiki says it's dangerous.

Also I'm not going to go out and eat a ghost chili just because they don't kill you.

Try it then, let me know how it is. Be advised that the wikipedia article has a section called "Uses as a weapon."

Yeah, I think the Indian government is trying to develop it for warfare.

Did you hear that the US army is developing a seizure gun? It was inspired by the Pokemon anime.

I seem to remember hearing developments of a puke gun, you'd aim at the enemy and it would cause puking.
