Does anybody else dislike the name “Pepper X”? To me it sounds like it was named by a 13 y/o or Elon Musk.
Especially considering it was bred by the guy who invented, the objective well titled, Carolina Reaper.

It was a code name at first until they decided on an actual name, but then from all the promo / marketing tie-ins with Hot Ones already using Pepper X, they ended up just keeping that name.
Agree that it deserved an actual name.

To me it sounds like a way to get a pink sock from a pepper

For a long time, I thought it was just referring to pepper extract, not a real pepper. Terrible name.

I like it way better than the trend of naming hot sauces with some variant of Ass pain

I miss the days before that jackass ruined the letter made cool by The Powerpuff Girls.

Back in the days X was used as a stand in for the unknown value then it became x-ray, project x , gen x (gen x used to be the undefined generation) before Elon came in and ruined the letter. I don’t think the creator of pepper X wants to relate to Elon and Elon doesn’t have exclusive rights to the letter so I’m ok with it.

I get it, I’ve always disliked Malcom x

Well, Ed Currie is kind of like the Elon Musk of the pepper world. Dude is an asshole and a thief.
Pepper X isn’t even the hottest pepper any longer, it’s the MA Warthog.

Nah, it’s cool. Apollo is cooler though.

IDGAF about anything Ed Curry is involved with since he admitted to lying about SHU ratings.

When you make the next hottest pepper you can choose the name 🙂

I believe you mean fully adult, grown man, 50 yo Elon Musk.

I wish to rub one in Elon Musks eyes

I’d say call it Orange Roughy, and let dogfish swap that for Fish X.

Nah, it’s badass. Like Planet X.

Makes me think of the Powerpuff girls. Which I don’t hate.

I mean.. the indentation on the pepper displayed looks like a letter “X” almost. More like an H. But then Pepper H would be sort of cliche. Pretty original I know.

Boy you would’ve hated the 90s.
Although back then it would’ve been the slightly longer PEPPER XTREME!!!

He can name it whatever he wants. Long live the king!

Most of the names are dumb and edgy

As if any of the other hot peppers aren’t? lol
Just imagine 13 y/o Elon musk
I always got Powerpuff Girl vibes from it.
Just like Gen x and the X-Men and x games right.
Bringing Elon into this topic is troll af.
