The hot pepper expert who crossbred and grew the Carolina Reaper hot pepper which is hotter than most pepper sprays has developed a pepper 3 times hotter. He calls it Pepper X which was named World's Hottest Pepper by Guinness World Records on October 9th. Peppers are measured on the Scoville Scale with zero being bland, and a regular Jalapeno about 5,000 units, a habanero around 100,000, a Carolina Reaper scoring 1.64 million units and Pepper X easily winning the hottest pepper slot at 2.69 units. To put it in perspective pepper spray carried by the police is 1.6 million units. Hot Stuff.
