Lol! I really loved this video. Interesting and entertaining. Greg is an awesome science presenter.
Thanks! :-D
Pppoosch And he's hot :D
He is.
I am Jack's flaming taste buds.
sometimes all you need is money
There are a few more core taste sensations beside those five.
Yes, heat from chilis. But also the type of heat from horseradish or wasabi. Very different from chili-heat, and very unique.
And, another one is the sensation of numbing/tingling the tongue with szechuan pepper beads.
You could also reason the effect of miracle berries could be added to the list.
Or how about the feeling of sizzling softdrinks?
Very good simple to understand explanation of concentration.
a great combination of both videos
3:33 Hey Rett and Link! I got a new pepper for you to try!
The Merciless Pepper of Quetzalacatenango
Hi as a person who's job revolves around peppers. and i grow the that Maruga, along with West Indian Red and Jamaican Scotch Bonnet. I strongly recommend drinking something worm to cool you mouth. It may sound counter intuitive but a sip of tea, work far more quickly than Milk. trust me on this, i am a pepper farmer
nicholas walters agreed..
If anyone's a fan of Hot Ones, you know there's an even hotter pepper now: Pepper X. Not yet rated on the Scoville scale
Where are the footnote links?
Greg
As chilies and peppers use capsaicin to activate the pain receptors for heat; with out cause lung actual tissue damage, does this mean if you have some pain killers before consuming the Chilies, does this mean you will not feel the pain or burning sensation therefore meaning you could eat chilies all day..until the pain killer runs out?
Jack’s a brave lad!
Omg this is very usefull for student at school for science or just impressing ur friends!
So, why are there different types of heat/spice? You briefly mentioned that Asian cuisines for example prefer a different type of heat, one that doesn't last as long. So does that mean there's no capsaicin in asian food and the spiciness has another source, or does it contain a different type of capsaicin? It would be awesome if you could explain the difference in another video!
For me spice and burn are different feelings though they are similar.
Whats with the numbers on the top left corner?
the original test would work with a huge sample size, probably about an 8th of the human population in this case given the number of peppers that need to be tested and the idea that you shouldn't use samples (people) more than once, but still need a good sample set for each pepper. in other words a completely functional plan on paper, a giant middle finger in reality.
My mouth got watery when he bit the pepper.
There's no way in hell that i'd try that super hot pepper!
video idea: how does uv pens work
hot peppers do actually cause tissue damage, in a similar way that guzzling vinegar does. to say the least it is a bad idea to try to live off of excessively hot(spicy) food because eventually your esophagus will collapse the same way it would if you were puking several times a day. that is because of tissue damage. capsaicin does taste/act hotter, aka feels more like a fire, than the actual tissue damage done, and the ammount done is trivial in the short term, but it is quite possible to chemically burn your epidermis (lets say the skin on your arm) just using a natural chili extract. swipe a strong capsaicin extract on your skin and in about 5 minutes you will be reaching for the soap.
P.S. apparently youtube doesn't know how to spell capsaicin, i even went and googled the word then pasted it back in with the same spelling and still got a red underline. i can only laugh at this. although maybe it is chrome that can't, i don't remember if youtube does the edit lines or the browser i am using.
Is there any evidence of this? I call BS. Look up "Johnny Scoville" - This guy routinely eats Carolina reapers and he seems as healthy as anyone else. And by routinely I mean he has videos eating pure capsaicin extract in a Carolina reaper pepper... He calls it a gusher
Instead of drinking milk after eating something hot, eat something really sugary. Sugar acts much better than milk with dealing with heat
Or both, like ice cream.
Cool Lego figure
lmao good one getting the editor to take it
What causes wasabi burn then? Or the spice of black pepper?
UntamedDragon02 Different molecules affecting the same receptors.
Great man. So so cute guy in the universe.
There's enough pain in life, I don't need my food to hurt me, so capsaicin is no friend of mine. I do like wasabi and hot mustard, though. They must work via a different chemical or chemical process.
05:16 I just want to be clear here, capsaicin doesn't actually do any physical harm? are we talking about just inside the mouth? how about when it's being digested or umm....coming out? Is it all just superficial pain?
Triggers the same response of a burn, without the tissue damage. So no physical *harm* no.
I see, i was always led to believe that it could cause anything from damaging taste buds to ulcers.
Well you're the only one that knows that it won't. For your body its code red you're burning alive so all the defenses activate.
That makes sense, anyway it certainly is a subtle kind of freedom that i can try much more spicier foods without causing any actual harm.
Awesome BTS lol
Another excellent video Greg and Team. Plus with an added bonus! Watching you suffer! Wow, Jack too . . fantastic. More suffering please. Could your next lecture be about castration please?
HAHA. Thanks for the comment. I'm sure Jack could be persuaded to give that a go...?!
How about both of ya? Four for the price of two?
Seriously tho, do enjoy and learn a bit too . .
Not only chili that's hot though...
Why is there a yellow tooth on the left at 4:48?
John Ox Maybe it's meant to be a gold crown?
#bling
Lewis Delicata Maybe
BBC... have to try be multicultural at everything. Too much white for the BBC's liking.
what's multicultural about a gold tooth?
A more interesting question might be: why don't we say that foods are "spicy" ...however pungent they were with non-capsaicin spices?
...beads of sweat!
I can tell you're not a fan of these peppers. Are some people more sensitive this less able to tolerate spice not by nurture but by nature?
He only took teensy nibbles! You should have chewed and swallowed the entire thing Jack!
You confuse spicy with painful,
There is A-tasters and B-tasters, how do You know the difference ?
TRPV1 come at me bro
dragons breath chilli?!?!?
AMONG US DING DINGDI NGDIG NDIGN
Dragon's breaths can't be eaten, because they are so hot they can kill you due to the body overreaction.
Gustavo Coelho There are people who have eaten quite a few at once. They were fine
People eat reapers all the time. Will never kill you
I might be wrong about the Carolina Reaper, but the dragon's breath is absolutely no go www.livescience.com/59184-how-dragons-breath-chili-peppers-can-kill.html
Gustavo Coelho yeah i read that before. Its a load of crap, unless your allergic or hypersensitive youll be fine.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resiniferatoxin
But this thing is 16 BILLION Scoville
Peter Rabbit ads really annoys me
Its just a illusuion,you can try to put the chillie on your eye ..... -dont try it- *TRY IT*
Jack is a wuss lol. I ate a half of one in one bite and didn't even need a drink afterward. My classmates at culinary school thought I was insane.
Audrey Bossman so you want an award or something?
I can't understand entanglement, please make a video for me.
There's only one L in chili.
You're not the first
Drats
delightful this isnt it!
why the hell do people even eat chilies?
DakuHonoo For me, I genuinely enjoy the burn
FEEL THE BURN
@Daku
A) Eating chilies triggers the release of endorphins
B) Generally they are significant sources of vitamin C.
C) They keep marginally edible foods palatable
D) They keep you from eating my share.
Coz of endorphins.
DakuHonoo The taste dammit
Hot water is faster than milk to reduce the pain
Pepper x (name pending) is higher than the dragons breath
zachary thebeau no it's not
First to say I'm not first
First
You have won the honour of being my servant. Now fetch me some milk.
What about the carolina reaper?
HyralProductions you didn't watch the video
what about black pepper? i dislike the spiciness of chili but i don't have much of a problem with lots of black pepper and i suspect there's a different molecule at play, i thought you'd be speaking about many different types of "spicy', this is a disappointment
DakuHonoo black pepper has the same spiciness as chilis. Sorry to disappoint. However, wasabi has a different "spicy"
DakuHonoo Yes, black pepper does contain a different piquant molecule, called piperin. It's similar physically but structurally very different. The piquant compound in wasabi and mustard is very different however, a smaller more volatile molecule called allyl isothiocyanate. The lachrymatory (tear-producing) and aroma compounds of onions and garlic are similar in how they are produced but otherwise vey different too.
DakuHonoo who ever said
