My boss loves spicy food. I bought him the last dab's Apollo hot sauce; he said it was the hottest thing he's ever had, called me a sadistic bastard, and then ordered more.
Several months ago, I saw some Scorpion Pepper seedlings on clearance, so I scooped them up with him in mind. One finally produced a ripe pepper, so I sent him a text joking that he eat it. He responded back that he would eat 2/3rds if I ate 1/3.
I set a meeting on our calendar for 8:30am Monday morning. Please pray for me.
I will post an update provided I survive.

Do it! Just don’t snack on those with an empty stomach. Gotta have a buffer in the stomach for scorps and reapers imo.
Godspeed & May the gods have mercy on your bunghole
Sounds like you have a pretty cool boss. Enjoy the Monday morning meeting!
That’s a fun relationship you have with your boss. How does he know your dad? Lol
1/3 a scorpion is very manageable. You got this.
Wear gloves.
Good luck.
Easy deal! Chill boss, and he gives you less work than he takes on? A true leader.
8:30 in the morning is certainly a choice unless you both leave at 9. That’s a late afternoon challenge if you ask me.
I like my scorpions with a little extra sharp cheddar 😆. Are you allowed to bring a little cheese and crackers to this meeting??
Bad deal. With his spice tolerance, the experience is going to be more like 1/100 him, 99/100 you. 🫡
1/3 of a Moruga Scorpion is still a big bite. A couple days ago, I ate a section of a fresh Primo and got turned sideways and Morugas are pretty close to that. Tonight, I ate 1/2 of a dehydrated Primo and 1/2 of a dehydrated Purple Reaper, with food, and really second guessing the decision. I feel a bit warm inside.
Definitely an end of the day game. You will not get much done after that.
If I were you I’d pick the end furthest from the stem…
Fun story…
I was getting my tires changed and overheard another customer talking about some hot peppers he was trying. So naturally I decided to be nosey. I chimed in with my Scorpions, Reaper-Cross and the Deadpool I had.
Because my voice carries rather well, a Hispanic worker overheard me & asked if he could buy a few peppers from me, because his family loves spicy stuff. I absolutely agreed to that. I was only a few blocks away, so once I was done there, I ran home, picked 3 of each & brought them back to the shop.
As soon as I showed up I was in the process of explaining how hot they were & to be REALLY careful with the Deadpool, as they’re 2m+ scovill.
I get a call a few hours later from the shop manager (at days end) to NEVER bring peppers to the shop again… Apparently all the young kids there decided it would be fun to have a pepper challenge & over half the workers there were laying on the floor sweating, a few vomited & one was passed out.
I apologized as much as I could, while also explaining that Darwin awards are very real & he knew full good and well what he was getting into…
TL;DR – almost killed half the people at Discount Tire with hybrid peppers.
WE NEED UPDATES!
