Oh man these sound right up my alley with a nice cold beer! Thanks for sharing had no clue these existed.

Those are, in fact, a joke, at least the ones I got were. They’re hot, but nowhere near scorpion pepper hot. You have to eat a lot of them to get an accumulated burn. I wish food producers would stop using scorpion pepper or ghost pepper in the name when the actual heat is lacking.

Man, if I see this in the supermarket, I am definitely buying. Our local stores don’t seem to stock much spicier than Habanero or Wasabi nuts. 🙁

These are a problem because they’re delicious so I want to eat all of them. Stomach ache waiting to happen.

Where’d you get them?

I purchased these in mid-June. Didn’t last me a week as they were pretty tasty, but the heat wasn’t remotely unmanageable if not a bit underwhelming from my expectations. Would buy again if they were available locally (I used Amazon) and weren’t $16.00/pound. Would recommend though.

Currently eating these. They are wicked but super good
Painstachios. They are tossed in liquid aminos, then lightly drizzled in oil before getting coated in my homemade smoked ghost pepper/reaper chili powder. I then smoke at 225 until they dry out.
Some are just ouch. Some get a clump in the shell that sticks to the kernel. Those really hurt people.

Thought those were small potato’s at first, sounded really tasty. Never been a fan of pistachios.
The store near me makes Sichuan potatoes that are great.
