Damn That's Spicy

So, there is spicy... and spicy.

It turns out that on the scale of spicy, Jalapenos are basically for babies and grandmothers - or most white kids. Watching Man vs. Food, I saw the host (who is usually very good with spicy food) get taken down by Ghost peppers like most of the rest of us would be put down by habaneros.

My business idea? Pepper spray wings. People would be stupid enough to order them, you have them sign a waiver, and damn they would be easy to make...
