    My parents think a jalapeno-based sauce will kill you, and they refuse to believe there even exists anything hotter than that.

      I’m SEA-n but relatively speaking I’m on the lower end of the ladder heat resistant-wise.

      I was so excited when I could finally buy Jalapeno in my country cuz I wanna make Poppers. When I bit a raw one my reaction was “my dude, this is a tomato”, my western media fooled me into thinking it’s the hottest thing ever.

      Then I found out about the Scoville unit and realized the Silling Labuyo we raw-dogging daily is order of magnitude hotter lol. Jalapeno actually tastes great though.
