The worlds hottest pepper is the Bhut Jolokia which is found in India. This pepper is hotter than the Habenero pepper and 4x times hotter than tobasco sauce. Links to videos on youtube of people eating it

So I dare anyone to eat it and post a video of you eatting it.

I thought the jalapeno was the hottest. Then again, I know nothing about peppers. lol

The videos are funny though.

I DARE YOU to try.

There is a famous "scale" of heat for peppers - the "Scoville Organoleptic Test" (http://ushotstuff.com/Heat.Scale.htm). It lists the naga jolokia as definitely hotter than the red savina habanero, but still not as hot as the capsaicin, which is still the hottest there is. Capsaicin, as we know, is the pepper used for defensive pepper spray.

Besides, as shown in an accompanying link on that page, the measurement of heat is dependent upon environmental and climatic factors, and can change in even one pepper from year to year, and harvest to harvest.

Personally, in spite of my part-Italian ancestry, I hate hot stuff. Especially REALLY hot stuff. I find anything approaching even a chipotle (which is insufferably hot to me) to be way too much. That, and knowing that the juices from a pepper can actually destroy the taste buds on your tongue (thus part of the pain factor involved) AND produce stomach ulcers if eaten in enough frequency, I prefer to err on the side of caution and sensibility. lol

I don't like excessively spicy foods, I enjoy tastefully spicy, the kinds that you can actually stand to eat...

I hate jalapenos though, just how they taste, but oddly, I love pepperoncini peppers.

I guess that's my Italian in me. Lol

I will but not sure where to get them, hottest pepper I had was fresh jalipinio peppers right from mexico seeds and all which make them hotter, stuck twenty in my mouth chewed and swallowd and drank five cups of water, water making it even hotter but I so will do that challenge as soon as I find out where to get em, really sounds like fun^^

I want to challenge it bad now, knowing my stupidity id prolly eat more then one at a time, so have any ideas how to get a hold of them?

Ok if that pepper is not called the ghost pepper then its not the hottest, the reason the ghost pepper is called the ghost is because if you don't swallow it fast enough its so hot that it burns threw your throat and you die hence the name, so that pepper is nothing compared to the ghost pepper^^ I don't think they even have a listing for it, but many have died trying to eat one, its the god of all peppers id like to see the guy in the vid try that one^^ If you can find one do to it being illegal almost everywhere.

That is not why they call it the "ghost pepper". It is actually because, when you eat this intense pepper (which is extremely hard to get anyway), you would WISH you were dead, because of the intense burn. The pepper is not, in fact, deadly. Not even in its subsidiary use as a weapon.
