Semillas, with many of the red Carolina Reapers looking so much like the red Primo I kind of suspected a yellow would be a yellow primo. The thing that baffles me is naming convention. It -seems- that if a person takes Yellow Pepper X, crosses it with Red Pepper Y, and it looks like a red version of Pepper X then it gets named Red Pepper X despite being a cross of X and Y. Kind of like when people insisted rabbits were rodents because they looked like rodents.
Hogleg, I did read the THP thread where Mr. Currie told Mr. Baker it was a chocolate scorpion. But have read much the same elsewhere and not just on unusual reaper pods. Trash talking on someone who thinks they have a new pepper is kind of a tradition. Hell, look at the grief given to Mr. Curry over the reaper before Guinness confirmed the tests. Then, after Guinness announced, the trashing turned to the claim that Carolina Reaper was a renamed Primo. People seem to love trash talking on anything new. It is really weird. I see something new and think, cool something else to play with.
