Last year I planted some pepper plants, jalapeno and (what I thought was) jabanero. The peppers on one of the jabanero plants had these tiny little bumps on them and they eventually turned red instead of the usual orange of the jabaneros. When I ate the red bumpy ones, it wasn't so much that they were hot as it felt like I'd just been punched hard in the lips. I thought that they were just some kind of weird mutation, but it turns out they were actually Carolina Reapers that had been mislabeled at the plant store. I like hot food, but that shit was too much for me.

Those are ROUGH. My pug ate some heritage seed peppers called Royal Black. He found them to his liking.

Note: it is habanero. Said with any Spanish accent it's gonna basically be abanero.

I do not envy your experience btw. I like the ultra spicy stuff, but that's when I expect it. If I was making what I thought was pineapple-habanero salsa and instead got the butthole destroyer, I'd be pretty upset.
