The famous Carolina Reaper has been deposed as the world's hottest pepper by the same man that created the Carolina, the aptly named Mr Currie and has been entered into the Guinness Book of Records. It is the Pepper X.

For comparison, a habanero pepper typically hits 100,000 Scoville heat units, but Pepper X registers at 2.69 million units. So unless you have fireproofed rectum and stomach steer well clear.
Mr Currie is one of only five people who has eaten an entire Pepper X.
"I was feeling the heat for three and a half hours. Then the cramps came," Mr Currie told the Associated Press."Those cramps are horrible. I was laid out flat on a marble wall for approximately an hour in the rain, groaning in pain."
