I’ve been eating like superhot natural sauces for like 2 or 3 months as we grew our own reapers. Judgement day was Friday, I ate my first reaper. Eat lots of bananas, peanut butter, and yogurt before hand. It helps the cramping. I made a terrible smoothie out of all 3 and had it before/after. I suffered for like 10 minutes of cramping at like 1:00 in the morning. Felt like being stabbed… But I didn’t go through hours of it. Otherwise just usual bloating the next day that I get after a rough night of hot sauce.
The natural hot sauces don’t compare to a reaper in heat though. Feels like a literal fireball. Sat in the back of my throat instead of a nice mouth coat. Felt like throat was closing up, could barely talk. However it only lasted 10-15 min. It took a solid minute to kick in, at first I was like I harvested this too early, its a dud. Then it came at me like a vengeance so hard I started to freak out a bit. It wouldn’t stop escalating, and I was kinda freaking out where the peak was. I’m glad it peaked when it did, I didn’t know how much much more I could handle. I had a similar experience to Brian Ambs eating a reaper except less dramatic, but you can see the stages.
I stuck another reaper in my Nachos last night, and mixing it with food is another experience that isn’t as remotely as awful. Its pretty crazy how much you can dampen the heat when mixed in volume.

People are so out of touch sometimes..
Not everyone has a local farmers market or lives in a city where they have assortments of spicy Peppers to choose from. To be flabbergasted at $2 Peppers is just wild, lol.
The same people will pay $10k over msrp for a kia, then critique $2 online purchases. Enjoy your peppers, OP. The only times I had special kinds of hot peppers was if I grew them or bought them online.

Congrats and concerns. I’ve had many different raw and processed peppers and this one is a different level. On your first one, clear your schedule and be prepared for staying home.

I’m a little biased, but one more comment in defense of the pricing: Shipping is listed as free, which of course it isn’t for Bohica. These have to get to you pretty fast since they’re fresh pods, so $10 to ship is definitely not out of the question. The container has a cost, and of course there’s the cost to grow and pick the peppers. Then your fixed costs like utilities, property tax, etc. It really ads up to where $2 a pepper isn’t a huge profit margin.

Prepare to not eat them all before they start to go bad. Dry them or pickle the ones you know you won’t get to

Good lord I have a couple hundred dollars worth in my freezer plus what ever my garden produces this year. I can’t give em away.
Make sure to harvest seeds. Start them early then wonder what you’re going to do with a few gallon bags of them after harvest.
