I don't buy the math on how they rated the heat.

100 birdseye at 200K scoville (if they indeed were) = 20 million scoville in entire dish
In this case looks like number of pods x shu, and each pod has and average shu. So the whole dish has (average) 20 mil, but you would not be getting all that in one spoonful. Whole bowl, yes.
Sounds unbearable though. After effects.

Scoville Units are a measurement of heat per weight, dried. You cannot, therefore, make a dish hotter than 20000 SHU using a 20000 SHU chilli, no matter how much you put in.
Also, Bird's Eyes are vile.
^ what he said. You cant take 200k scoville chillies and make a dish hotter than the actual chillies with them, it just doesnt work that way.spicefreak said:
I could eat that without sweating...

So when you eat a fresh pepper you are getting 0?
Dried is how they measure it yes, to represent what is the average pepper fresh. Otherwise what is the point, to say a fresh has none?
You have one pepper. You put it in a chili. You have 5 peppers. You put them in chili. Chili is hotter. SHU is a representation of each average pepper.
A pepper is a vehicle for capsaicin. Every pepper has capsaicin that's what makes it hot. When you add 2 peppers you are doubling capsaicin for that dish.
Not getting into this one again. But yes, that is how they measured the 20 mil SHU. They didn't dry the actual dish and measure it they multiplied peppers so not accurate due to other ingredients, but it is still a LOT of cap. All of that is in your body after consuming the dish, same amount as a handful of superhots or how every many equal 20 mil. And cap is cap.
"There is 20 mil of peppers" in it, is accurate, by average.
It's hot.
Just do not ever do what I did, make 7 Pot stew using 7 7 pot pods 
Sounds good to me. 
PS. Where do you think pepper extract comes from? Usually cayennes, so you can't say a cayenne is not hot so extract isn't, or the entire vial of extract is the same SHU as one cayenne?!?!?!
I agree it's hot for sure. Just shoddy math behind it.The Hot Pepper said:

They are lying. All the ladies say I have the hottest noodle!
I could reason with you people but I feel that this thread is an intentional farce and should probably be left that way so good night.
lol
