I sende this Pic to my girlfriend, she saw some chili's on discount, even organic.
I went to the store and bought them, mainly for seed harvesting.
But when I tasted it, it was nothing. I them continued, and ate a whole.. I've had tomatoes that hurt my mouth more, than this.
So. Why call it chili, or market it as chili, when they are afraid of it beeing hot?
I mean.. People can read, and people who actively choose chili, should get some value for their money? I see it as "VODKA2% Alcohol". You get robbed for a product that is not..
And I'm not asking for Habanero+ power, but 3 chili's should make a stew good hot…
Welp, I'm not gonna buy big Corp chili anymore, back to the small farms, and what's left in my freezer.
Rant over…

90% of people stop at like cayenne or can’t even handle that, much less people want something spicier than a bird’s eye/thai chilli and the rest thinks black pepper is spicy so it makes no sense for supermarkets to carry really hot chillies.
I get you everything labeled as spicy in my country has barely any heat, it just mean pepper flavoured.
Because supermarkets usually want to sell as many chillis to as many as they can, and on average the general public has a much lower heat tolerance than the average person who is active in hot pepper communities. That said, I can buy reapers at my local supermarket in a small town in northern Europe.
Because they rot on the shelf when no one buys them
Because all it takes is some baby eating or touching one from the side of a shopping cart to cause a potential mess of legal trouble for said grocery store.
My local sells Carolina reapers and ghost peppers during summer. Habeneros year round. It’s likely just regional demand.
