Reading article on Dragon's Breath pepper got me to thinking. One of the articles says his peppers got that hot because of the plant food he was using. So I start wondering, why is it that Guinness chooses to say the hottest pepper in the world is a variety rather than focus on the grower?
With Water Melon, the biggest doesn't even say what type of water melon it is.

With tomato, the heaviest doesn't say what type of tomato it is.

The heaviest chili pepper in the world doesn't mention the variety.

But when it comes to the hottest pepper, the focus is on the variety. Wouldnt you think the same would be true of other vegetables so a person who wants to grow a huge what ever could look up what variety holds the title?
