How hot are these? Worth it to spend 7€ on one?

  1. Eh, they’re warm. But then again, I eat jalapenos raw like an apple and I use ghost peppers all the time, so maybe I’ve just killed off my taste buds. They’re definitely on the low end of the heat index.

    For 7 euros? No damn way. You could find a recipe and make your own and add whatever spices you want. Just buy some [pickle crisp](https://www.amazon.com/Ball-1440072750-Pickle-Crisp-Granules/dp/B003IOEWL8) to toss in the container. They taste just like the store bought ones.

    Pretty sure you can buy those damn pickles in the U.S. for like $2.50 each.

    I actually [used a recipe](https://www.reddit.com/r/spicy/comments/16ocs6x/when_life_gives_you_habaneros_make_habanero_salt/) from this sub which was sea salt mixed with dried out ghost pepper, and then put the salt in the container. Now those have some serious heat.

    [The actual steps to make the salt are here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/HotPeppers/comments/qg8ivz/copycat_recipe_death_spiral_infused_sea_salt/?context=3)

    I also have Carolina Reapers in my garden. Unsure if I want to try salt with them. I ate one raw and thought I was going through 30 minutes of labor. I love heat, but I also don’t want to spontaneously combust while eating it.

    They’re good but not worth that much. They’re like 2 USD in states.

    No! They are really good but, they only cost $2.00 in the U.S.!

    I mean if you want to feel like you’re gnashing a sea cucumber that’s been trapped in a chest at the bottom of the sea for a few hundred years, go for it!!

    I love pickles but I tried one of these and they were disgusting. So salty and struggled to finish it.

    No, neither tasty or spicy.

    Better to just take a random jar of pickles you like and add dried habanero, ghost or reaper pepper to it, mix and let stand for a week and then enjoy.

    I’d use that money and make my own spicy cucumbers.

    Phew that’s a hefty price for a hot pickle. May be worth to solve a curiosity once but more than the one time no way. I get them for $1.50 US
