No cheating! If we catch you engaged in sneakery, we will make you write on the whiteboard 100 times: “The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion is currently considered the world’s hottest chili pepper. Some individual plants have been officially measured at just over 2,000,000 Scoville heat units, which is hotter than most law enforcement-grade pepper spray.”
