Link to the 'press release'? All I see if an advertisement for the new hottest pepper on the site's front page. Nothing new.

That's the "Press Release" - they submitted it word for word to the Newswire so that the press would pick up the story and get them more publicity.
Cool good to hear..I been told more to come. Texting with Ed right now. PEPPERJOE stop sending me messages
I spoke to Ed for 30 min and have been texting with him.
Nice, I'm impatiently waiting for mine to show up.. (orderd them Saturday)Hey i got my Reaper seeds today, now to get a couple started for over wintering,
planting mine this week!Hey i got my Reaper seeds today, now to get a couple started for over wintering,
[background=rgb(255, 250, 242)]$10 bucks is a lot for seeds? Nodody agrees with you....and shipping anywhere in the world is 2 bucks??? LOL!!! That is ridiculous the way we that ship. It costs me more than that in the USA. Check out the recent post dude... That one guy said previously that you should pick peppers out in the woods for free. And when you said "sadly, i'm not buying this seed for $10", Jeremy from thepepperseed.com blasted you for that post. I'm not going to get that down and dirty... but you need a lesson 101 on business expenses, dude.[/background]

Here is the PM from pepperjoe I got
Very disrespectful and insulting...
I am also not calling Ed a liar, but this whole HP22B rollout has been a fiasco from the start.
If you had to deal with all the BS he has had to deal with i can understand where he is coming from.
Thanks for the work Pepperjoe
Fiasco for whom? I went on Ed's site a day or two ago and he was sold out, or so backed up he wasn't taking orders. If I ran a business I would pray for that kind of fiasco.
Show of hands, who thinks that all the claims about this pepper are completely made up? That no scientific testing was done and no Guinness entry was made?
Now, personally, I would wait until I had the letter from Guinness before I sold a single seed. But it isn't my business, and if they feel confident enough in thier product, then they can release it however they choose. I, too, would like to see the testing results and all that, but I don't think they are a coupla scoundrels because they aren't doing it on my timeline. It seems to me that the biggest problem here is impatience. If it means that much to you, continue to buy Mourugas and Butch T's and ignore this one until you see results you are happy with. There is no call for accusations of dishonesty, because you can't wait for some test results.
I bought some. I'll know if I'm genuinely happy with the product next year. In the mean time I can't wait for the reviews for home grown pods that will crop up between now and then. Now if there is a new press release that just says "Surprise! We made the whole thing up!", you might see a few strongly worded posts from me here. But I have to look at the risk vs. the reward. They are risking their reputation and businesses, one is leaving a steady job to get into the pepper business, for the possible reward that they have a superior product that may break the world record and hope to make money on it. If the claims are legitimately false, meaning they knew it wasn't the hottest but went ahead with it anyway, then they're reputation is in the crapper, and they lose a lot of future business. To me they risk losing more than they gain. I would have to have a lot of confidence in my product for that.
I've read posts where people said even when the test results come back, they might not believe it. There is only so much one can do to prove their claim. Obviously you are not their target customer.
