on bad ideas

I was watching the Food Network during a study break and a program was unveiling the hottest hot sauces. Bored, I went to the grocery store and thought it would be a good idea to pick up a bottle of habanero pepper hot sauce. Cause you know, I like hot stuff.

The label read:

The Habanero (Capsicum chinese) is the hottest chile pepper in the world, measuring between 200,000 and 300,000 Scoville Units (the hottest jalapeno pepper measures only 5,000 S.U.).

Habaneros being the world's hottest peppers, I sparingly sprinkled a slice of my mushroom pizza with the sauce. Can't be too cautious. "Not too hot", I thought. So what does my dumb ass do next but douse the rest of the slice with it, wolf it down, only to realize afterwards that it's got one of those slow burns. Now my stomach feels like I drank a cocktail made of nails and tacks.

Stupid Food Network. Stupid boredom.
