Well, I'd always understood that Red Savina's (a mutation, I believe) were
the hottest at 450,000 Scoville's (give or take a couple), compared to the
300,000 of a regular orange Hab. However, when you compare these numbers
with that of, say, a jalapeno (~5000 SU's), I've always thought it's kind
of liking asking whether you'd you'd prefer to be a ground zero for an
A-bomb or at an H-bomb test...sure, there are differences in degree,
but....;>)
