Pepper X has displaced Carolina Reaper as the world's most formidable pepper after 10 years' worth of crossbreed experimenting finally paid off for its creator Ed Currie
Ed Currie, the South Carolina hot pepper expert who crossbred and grew the Carolina Reaper that is hotter than most pepper sprays police use to subdue unruly criminals, has broken his own world record with a pepper that’s three times hotter.

The goal was to offer an extremely hot pepper flavoured with sweetness.
The burning sensation spurred in humans also releases endorphins and dopamine into the body. Currie, who went all in to growing peppers after kicking drug and alcohol addictions, considers that kick a natural high. He shares his peppers with medical researchers, hoping they can use them to cure disease and help people who suffer chronic pain or discomfort.
He allowed people to grow the peppers without protecting his ideas. His lawyers counted more than 10,000 products that use the Carolina Reaper name, or its other intellectual property, without permission. He also sells his peppers to companies worldwide. Challenges involving extremely spicy foods have made headlines after a chipmaker pulled its products following a teen’s death.
