Furious Popcorn?

Has anyone ever made popcorn with a super hot?  At my work they have a popcorn machine and make corn everyday if not twice a day.  They like to make jalapeno corn and occasionally crank it up with fresno corn (if that can really be called cranking it up).  They make the corn by putting the peppers in the oil as it heats up before they've added the corn.  Anyway, most people know that I like super hots and that I have them frequently and have asked me to bring one in so they can make popcorn with it.  While I am intrigued by the idea and a little mischievous side of me would like to I'm concerned that it might just end up clearing the building out with pepper gas.  So has anyone ever experimented with making super hot corn?
 
BigB has a great suggestion.  Using pepper powder like you would a sprinkle cheese like a parmesean, to make cheese popcorn.  Do your co-workers a favor and bring a tub of sour cream to go with their hot popcorn. :dance:

Just added after right?  They want to dice a fresh one up and toss it in with the oil.
 
 
Unless you have a hood, you're most likely going to choke everyone out, especially with super hots. Get a grocery bag or something and put the popcorn in it with the powder and shake up. I'd also go with what Rookie said and bring some sour cream, or even better some mexican crema 
 
+1 to BB. You are seriously going to gas people by putting a superhot in the oil. Yeah, amusing at first, but not a good idea at work, IMO. Don't give in if people try to pressure you - you would be the one experiencing the fallout, not them.

+2. I agree and you would probably have to toss the machine afterwards.Stick with a little powder.
 
One of the nice things about the powder is that you can sprinkle just a little on, then let people decide for themselves if they want more. You know it's going to start a game of one-up regardless of their lack of experience with superhots, but the smarter ones will be saying "I'm good" once they reach their limit.
