LMAO does your neighbor know lol... that would change the old saying "forbidden fruit tastes sweetest" to "forbidden fruit tastes hottest" lol Generally I like it!

When people use the term "worlds hottest" most people are still referring to the old Jolokia's... this does not look like a Jolokia though, too smooth. I think it does look like a Devil's Tongue.

Now let me go see if I can dig any chillies out of my neighbors garden...
 
On closer inspection... could be a Bhut Jolokia. I guess you will have to do the taste test. The Devil's Tonge is about Habanero strength... but if it is a Jolokia... its about two and a bit hotter. Failing which there is always the 24hrs test. If your eyeballs are not the last thing to be flushed down the porcelain phone... it was a habanero ;)
 
Normal bhuts are longer than that too. I would say what ya got there is a devils tongue or another habanero relative but not quite a bhut. Should still be a ripper though.
 
the 2 pods in the last picture do not look like devils tongue that i have on my plants. but the second picture looks more like a devils tongue. here is a picture of a devils tongue that i clipped off my plant on SAt. they are slightly sweet with a nice burn.

Bonnie sells an orange habanero which they label as "Bonnie's World's Hottest", I'm guessing that's why it's labeled that way, he probably bought one of them from a local nursery. It doesn't look like a normal orange habanero though, it's too elongated and pointy, so maybe it's a cross or something?

I think it was from bonnie as that seems to ring a bell.
 
have you eaten one? that will be the true test! if you eat one and the thought runs through your head "$hit that was a huge mistake" and you get light headed, and nothing eases the pain, then it might be a bhut. mu devils tongue was substantially hotter than the habs i grew. and the yellow bhut i ate yesterday on accident(thought it was another pod as it was on the smaller size) was the hottest pod i have eaten so far.
 
Well I just tried it and I didn't eat all of it, only about 1/4 and it wasn't terrible. Heat is subsiding in less than 5 minutes but it was quite hot in the begining. This can't be the worlds hottest, can it? :lol:
