Sorry guys this thread is on lockdown. Way too redundant . Move along
Woohoo! Jamie...THE ENFORCER...
I submit the following observations for the court's consumption in an effort to move this thing along a bit:
The articles about the hp22b, stretching all the way back to 2011 pretty boldly state that it was consistently hitting the 1.4 to 1.6 million SHU range, which to me indicates that it is averaging some where in there. The whole premise of the original article (at least the one I read with the dude who "hallucinated" eating it) was that it may be the new hottest in the world. At that time, with those numbers, sure. But fast forward a year later, and Jim and Co's TSMB study. Whether or not it was legit TSMB seeds, Brains, or a mixture of both, it proved one thing, A pepper can hit over 2 mil. That pepper was not the HP22b (obviosuly).
Recently, Ed (or some proxy thereof) has posted info to the wall street-challenged book of the devil (Facebook for all you stalkers out there), saying he has the highest averaging pepper on the planet. The simple fact that he has been averaging for a number of years lends credibility to the statement. If he can consistently hit the 1.4-1.6 range, that is pretty damn impressive. But guess what, we arent all growing in Ed's SC backyard....so until the test is done under multiple conditions...it's moot.
It comes down to this, I he has a pepper, one, 1, uno, that can beat the 2.1 million mark, he has the worlds hottest pepper. If he can't, then he has a pepper that has averaged a consistently phenomenal number in his backyard. Which one sounds better...
Primo, no primo, hottest, highest average, whatever. He better pull something impressive out at this press release, or it could damage his standing here. But like someone already said, THP is probably going to account for a tiny portion of sales. Let's face it, we aren't the only growers on the block and Joe is probably making hand over fist from his "Brain STARIN" From the rest of the world. Yup, not a typo.
It all boils down to this, at THP, we share, give, and care. That can't always be said for the rest of the world...
