[CH] Careful, those are hot

This week I was at a local farmer's market and they had a box of "Mexican 
peppers" at the register.  They were Fatalis, but the clerk did not 
recognize the name.  They were green and withered, with two or three turning 
yellow.  I said, I love the way these squeak in your hand when they're 
fresh!  She looked at me oddly.

They had a sign advising customers to handle them by the stems because they 
were so hot.  It seemed strange that they would combine the warning with the 
apparent invitation to investigate, since they were at the register where 
all customers pass.

I was there for the local green map project, anyone else have that going in 
their town?
