"Keep your crying towel handing when eating these little babies. They are HOT! If you love your sauces hot, then this is definately the pepper for you. Wow.....one or two of these at a time will really spice up your food life, guaranteed. They grow extremely well in hot climates with lots of sun. Use gloves or a towel to pick them. If you get even the juice from the skin in your eyes by picking them free-handed and rubbing your eyelids, you will be running for the tap water to cool your tears. But don't cry; they are worht the effort! They sould put the phrase "No cry babies" on the package of seeds!"

"Wow, these little guys pack some serious heat. My one plant produced a huge crop, which was great.
My husband complained that my first batch of picante sauce tasted like spaghetti sauce, so I turned up the heat on my second one. It became his favorite football snack, and he always had to have at least one glass of water per 1/2 pint of picante sauce.
I'm planning for 2 plants this year so I can pickle them as well as make my husband sweat when its -20 degrees outside!!"
