When ranking hottest peppers, do you go by Guinness’ [e.g, their scoville unit score (1,641,183 VS btw 1.4 mil - 2.2 mil); (not)counting “uncertified” ones like Dragon’s Breath; )?…I.e What’s “OFFICIAL” scale/units?

    Has anyone had Pepper X? I’ve had it in hot sauce but not a fresh one. Tasty or just hot?

    I usually go by Guinness, though it seems like it fluctuates quite a bit.

    I go by what I’ve personally tried because people say a lot of things.

    Bunk scale, Chocolate Primotalii is the hottest peppers you can actually buy and consume.

    People usually use Scoville units in my experience.
