“Ghost chili” is the name given to the world’s hottest delicacy, India’s bhut jolokia, which was given a rating of 1,000,000 Scoville units, which is well over the 8,000 contained within the spiciest jalapeno peppers. Aside from being used to give children digestion-related nightmares and as a hilarious practical joke that I’m sure would never cause the recipient to retaliate in any way, a new indication for its use is as a hand grenade.
“The chili grenade has been found fit for use after trials in Indian defense laboratories,” states defense spokesman Colonel R. Kalia. Apparently non-lethal, this weapon would be used in the same manner as tear gas, to force hostiles out from an otherwise defensible position. Except, of course, if the enemy’s soldiers are all regular consumers of ghost chili, in which case the grenades would be popped into mouths and swallowed whole. You thought throwing yourself on a grenade was heroic? Try catching one in the noise hole, soldier!
Other potential uses that are being researched now are as personal defense, much like pepper spray is currently used, and as crowd control for police. And you have to assume that when wading in against a crowd of neo-Hippies, it would be of benefit to all to attack them with a weapon that was made from Mother Earth, not the horrible plastics and chemicals that are killing Gaia, maaaan. Dude, my eyes are still stinging after last night’s demonstration, but those pigs were totally hip to my organic, holistic lifestyle. They gassed us, sure … but they did it with love.
