The Uber-tyrant vs the Great satan

Now, a very HOT battle has started in Japan - That is "Habanero, the uber-tyrant vs Jolokia, the great satan" - the Japanese snack match, which is made from the spiciest chili peppers in the world?




Habanero chili is well known as the spiciest chili pepper, however the Naga Jolokia pepper is newly certified as the world's spiciest chili pepper by Guinness. And now Tohato, the Japanese confectionery company, has released new spicy snacks at the same time which use these hottest chili peppers so people can decide which is the hottest snack. "Habanero, the uber-tyrant" and "Jolokia, the great satan" are the names of the each snack.







How do they taste? - I've tried Jolokia first...that's pretty good. It is not only spicy but also good taste. And how about Habanero...yeah - very spicy, excactly. It irritates the nasal passage, but it isn't as spicy as I expected.
After trying them again and again and again, I think the spicy taste isn't too different each other, but Habanero is a little bit spicier(ish) than Jolokia. Basically I could lose my sense of taste at this point.


Finally, I prefer Jolokia to Habanero because Jolokia has some other good taste to it as well as the spicy flavor. Well, I'm going to have one more Jolokia....
