Jun 26 2009It Buuuuuurns!: India To Make Chili Grenades
India's Defense Research and Development Organization has plans to start manufacturing hot chili grenades. Hot chili grenades are exactly what they sound like: hot. chili. grenades.
Indian defence scientists are planning to put one of the world's hottest chilli powders into hand grenades.
They say the devices will be used to control rioters and in counter-insurgency operations.The chilli, known as Bhut Jolokia, is said to be 1,000 times hotter than commonly used kitchen chilli.
Wow, this might very well be the second most delicious grenade I've ever heard of. But NOTHING tops a good tear-gas grenade. I eat sadness!

Thanks to i like it spicy, whose urine can melt concrete.

@6 well pass a dish my way when it's ready, or throw it - whichever leaves a bigger hole in the ground & not in the back of my pants
9. STOMPY - June 26, 2009 12:01 PM
I wonder how much hotter than a habenaro it is...
10. Leonidas - June 26, 2009 12:03 PM
Hehe, I grow these in my back garden (together with some chocolate habaneros), and their infamy is very well-deserved.
11. Leonidas - June 26, 2009 12:04 PM
@STOMPY: the average orange habanero comes in at around 100–200 thousand SHU. These generally come in at over a million.

Holy burning bear balls batman, you are correct.
And I thought I was man enough for eating a habanero with no milk, imagine this little bugger...
15. Watch-303 - June 26, 2009 12:19 PM
cool, i want some of these to use.
16. STOMPY - June 26, 2009 12:20 PM
Thanks GFS, you know I'm too damn lazy to google my own shiite...
17. Leonidas - June 26, 2009 12:27 PM
I find habaneros to produce a very "on the surface" kind of pain, like someone rubbing a hot iron over your tongue. These burn deep... you'll feel a violent electric tingling right down in your jawbone, and your whole upper body will feel like it's pulsating. Also, when you start to flash red and black, you must mash the "punch" button to unleash your special.

ohhhhhhh please
I gene spliced a pepper that is so hot the mere sight of it makes your upper layer of skin burns off.
It is SO hot, SO dangerous, the U.S military wire tapes my garden.
IT IS SO SPICY THAT AS YOU EAT IT, IT MAY CAUSE 3RD DEGREE BURNS ON ANYONE NEAR YOU!!!
It is such a hot genetically engineered pepper that if India used the powder in a grenade, it would be considered a crime against humanity.
I call it: fdsHOLYJESUSTHAT'SASPICYPEPPER. It's all the rage in Mexico.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never BAck Down where Max mixed icy heat into the football team's laundry, and made them all run off the field shortly after practice started.

Pass. My mouth has the spicy tolerance of a nun's vajayjay.

@16
What would you ever do without me?
22. naas - June 26, 2009 1:55 PM
@20 not when you're throwing one of your pajama parties it's not. I remember one time where you dressed up as a nuns' vajayjay & everyone hurled peppers 'inside' you
23. drew - June 26, 2009 2:15 PM

26. Tukson - June 26, 2009 4:22 PM

27. RandomNigel - June 26, 2009 4:55 PM
What #25 said.
Chili is stewed meat.
Chile is a spicy pepper.
28. Cam - June 26, 2009 5:04 PM
Precisely.
29. Jaded Icon - June 26, 2009 6:32 PM
@ 28
I love it when you South American'ers get so defensive about your peppers! Its sooo cute! By the way when I said South American'ers I meant Canadians. Viva la Quebec!

I know this Chili, i use it as a spice. I got it already in my eyes several times, so i can say, it is not a normal chili, it is a kind of a weapon, if u want to use it that way. It feels like pepper spray.
