In The UK As Kid We Called Them Jelly Babies,

in America gummy bears,


but wherever you are, and whatever you want to call them, this is the one you do not want to eat, unless you like them really hot! do not be deceived by its cute and appealing appearance, as this little guy is holding a dynamite stick for a reason, it is made with a special chili pepper extract that’s 900 times hotter than a Jalapeno pepper, and several times hotter than the Carolina Reaper, Dragon’s Breath and Pepper X, which are generally regarded as the hottest peppers on the planet, the pepper extract used to make Lil’ Nitro is rated at a whopping 9,000.000 Scoville units on the hotness scale, so even though this scary treat has other ingredients, it’s still rated up to 7,200,000 million units, to put things into perspective, the dreaded Carolina Reaper pepper has an average rating of 2.2 million units, so his thing’s pretty hot, Lil’ Nitro gummy bears come packaged individually in blister packs and boxes evocative of their hotness. People usually eat gummy bears by the handful, so one may not seem like much, but according to Vat19, one “is more than what you’ll ever need”, so if you want to try one head on over to Flame Thrower Candy, and no I do not think I want to try one!

Honestly, it sounds like they just took pepper spray and gummi-fied it.

Dear Jil, you could be right, but what a great way to advertise a product, I can imagine a number of events when to eat a Lil' Nitro will confirm a rite of passage! best regards, Stan and Diana.
