Ed Currie of PuckerButt Pepper Company in South Carolina said his team stabilized Pepper X about a decade ago, but only released it now because no one had been able to beat his previous record.

    I know Ed Currie personally. He’s a great dude, gives back to the community, and is a total mad scientist. He has peppers waiting in the wings which put this one to shame!

        Always hold your cards to your chest, give someone else a goal that’s in reach, then reveal that they, in fact, aren’t even close to beating you.

          Exactly right. Funny thing is he’s had Pepper X waiting for just such an event, but decided to release it anyway because nobody could beat the reaper. But they were getting close, so time to pull ahead again.
