What is a measurement of the pungency (spiciness or "heat") of chili peppers?

The ghost pepper is on top of the list!

Centenarian, Glad to see you're still kickin'. I always love your feedback.

The shame of not knowing the right answer to this so important question will haunt me to my dying day!

B Dog, but does the heat override the flavor?

Nhuca , oh no!! That's no fun!!

Due to menopause, I cannot eat chilli food anymore. 😩

Red, come on Ice-cream

Centenarian, the bhut jolokia/ghost pepper is about my limit, amazing flavor. I tried the Scorpion and it’s just too much, and in opposition to Blue Oyster Cult’s advice I actually do fear the Reaper 😂😂😂

Ronny Ridiculous, Love the Reaper. But, being born in November, I gotta go with the Scorpion.
