Heat in peppers is measured in Scoville Heat Units. Zero is bland, and a regular jalapeno pepper registers about 5,000 units. The Guinness Book of World Records lists the Carolina Reaper at 1.64 million units. It was overtaken by Pepper X last year which measures an average of 2.69 million units. Also known as the ghost pepper, Bhut Jolokiya measures around 1 million units.

The viral video received mixed reactions from netizens, while one user humorously said, “After first he must have gone numb … anesthesia”, another said, “You know why it is a world record, because a US man a foreigner is eating it.”
