Pepper Deformations

I've been growing an unknown jalapeno species from the dreaded walmart. dun dun dun.

The variety seems to peak at around 2"-2.5" long. Some seem to be average looking, but the first two that produced had odd ends on it.

Today's Pickings:

Here's the abnormality:

I cut the tip and the insides had what looked like burnt edge seeds:

Now I did notice, when I cut a good piece off the jalapeno pictured above, that it had a worthless mild bell pepper taste to it. NO HEAT! I understand it could be the variety?

Any help is greatly appreciated! :D
