安大略省伦敦市的迈克·杰克以9.72秒的成绩吃掉了三颗卡罗莱纳死神辣椒，创下了吉尼斯世界上最快吃掉三颗这种辣椒的纪录，吉尼斯称这是世界上最辣的辣椒。

Guinness certified the Carolina Reaper as the world's hottest pepper in 2017. Guinness says the chili pepper delivers an average of 1.5 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU). The SHU scale to measure chili pepper heat was developed by American chemist Wilbur Scoville in 1912.
吉尼斯在2017年认证卡罗莱纳死神辣椒为世界上最辣的辣椒。吉尼斯说，辣椒提供了平均150万斯科维尔辣度单位（SHU）。1912年，美国化学家威尔伯·斯科维尔发明了一种测量辣椒辣度的“斯科维尔辣度表”。
The average jalapeño pepper scores between 2,500 to 8,000 SHU, according to Guinness.

他紧随其后，在2020年2月29日打破了两分钟内吃下最多印度辣椒的纪录。
The Bhut Jolokia chili registers at slightly more than 800,000 SHU, strong enough for the Indian military to use it as an ingredient in a hand grenade used for immobilizing adversaries, according to Guinness.
据《吉尼斯世界纪录》报道，印度魔鬼辣椒的注册的指标略高于80万SHU，其强度足以让印度军方将其用作手榴弹的原料，用以让敌方丧失战斗力。
