 I have never regretted trusting the internet more than when I bit into a pepper earlier, that the internet called mild. 

It was not mild. 

Well.

It was probably hotter than a jalapeno. Which I would consider a mild pepper, but it was hotter. 

anyway. 

I ate a cucumber in the middle of a field in the hopes it would help and it did.

Yeah, I got them in a seed exchange with someone, who probably got them from Baker Creek Seed and all the reviews there say that they are hot when they shouldn't be. I can't say I'm impressed with Baker Creek anymore. I'll pick some up from a different seed company (who does quality control).

There's also the thing where peppers will be hotter if they are grown in certain conditions and this year, hot, dry spells are great for hotter peppers.

I'm going to take a risk with my seed saving this year and save from a bunch of my peppers. They may have crossed but who care, I just won't send them out in exchanges and I'll find out next year.
