Okay I keep getting E Mails asking me for Infinity seeds. And links to articles about the Infinity Chile record. Here is what Guinness has on their site
The hottest chili is the "Infinity chili" which has been rated at 1,067,286 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), according to tests conducted by the Warwick University, UK, in March 2010.
Now here's what the owner of the Infinty is releasing the past few days.
UK: 'Record-breaking' chilli is hot news
Experts have pronounced a chilli grown in the market town of Grantham, Lincs, as the hottest in the world. Tests have revealed the "Infinity Chilli" to have a Scoville Scale Rating of 1,176,182
Now here is how he discovered it in 2010. Same press release. "I knew as soon as I saw it in the polytunnel. It stood out, and when I dissected it I could tell by the skin tissue and the seeds that it was a hot one."
Okay so it was only discovered last year once fruiting. That means no documentation or authentication of variety. How can you have a grow log of something you never knew about? You can't because variety was discovered after completion of growing cycle. Now I am going to post what Guinness said we must have. And you will see we are being treated differently.
Guidelines for Hottest Chili
1.A signed statement of authentication must be submitted by a suitably qualified person (e.g. a horticulturist), including a contact address and telephone number. The species and/or variety of plant must be correctly identified and stated in all cases.
3.Details of the growth of the plant(s) must be provided.
4.At least two independent witnesses, including at least one chemist and one horticulturist, must submit statements regarding both the growth process and testing process.
There are 6 requirements I give you the three that are impossible. Impossible for the Infinity because it was discovered after end of plant cycle. You cannot meet these requirements after the fact. Which means Guinness gave this a free pass. Or changed the rules in 2011 for us. Now Guinness has this pepper in it's books at 1,067,000 and British press releases have it at 1,176,182. I am tired of all the Bull coming from England and Warwick. First Naga Morich from Warwick at over 1,500,000. Then Infinty at 1,176,000. The Naga Viper at 1,300,000. It shows me that Warwick has zero credibility and the British media have even less credibility than Warwick.
We ran months of tests and field study and then sent our samples to one of the top food labs in the world in Prairie View, Texas. Do you know that this 3rd party lab we used does more pungency tests in a month than Warwick has done in years! Other countries use this lab. The top Spice corporations use this lab. Some people say I am crying too much about the Infinity or the Viper. Well I have a right to because they are a joke if not an all out hoax! Compared to what Bosland did or us it is an insult to see any of these made up varieties be taken seriously. I would not be so wound up about this but I am tired of people asking me for these varieties.
