Mythbusters on SBS tonight (as in right now) are doing a chilli segment, what makes them hot and what to take to combat the heat.

Cheers for the heads up but my TV is broke atm.

That episode is hilarious.....especially when they try to kill the heat by eating vaseline.

That was a crack up watching them gag on it.
The question is, did the vaseline work though?
This sounds awesome I will definitely watch to see what makes them hot. Capsai something or other?

Oh my gosh, that's funny!!
(I do love me some Mythbusters, though........and when the 'Skins beat the Cowboys of course.
)No it didn't work, neither did the gel toothpaste. They also tried milk, water, beer and wasabi.

Yeah really funny episode.
They have done a few episodes now that have Chilli Pepper in it. Watched some of one the other night where they were testing the theory that if a Cop tazered someone then sprayed them with Pepper spray will the crim catch on fire? Darn right he will!
They put a few Pepper sprays through the test with some not very flammable and some very flammable and managed to set ol Buster alight.

Here's a link to a page with all the old Mythbusters episodes to watch, some for free. Does anyone know which season/episode it is? I didn't see chiles or peppers listed, what else are they testing in the episode?

Well I found the episode, and it's a $-per-view at iTunes episode.

I seen that episode, I like the part were they had a big spoon full of Vaseline. what got me though was they were just testing with chopped up jalapeños and some plain old store bought habs, They should have used at least a red savanna or go for it and chop up a couple of Bhut jolokias. Maybe some one could mention a Capsicum sinus spray and how it worked better than some of the store bought sprays, maybe like a few drops of some Naga or Bhut oil mixed with some salt and sterile water. I can just see them now first just a little spray up each nostril followed by lots of screaming and rolling on the floor. Ha! now that might be worth watching.
