On February 7, the link showing the Red Savina pepper's heat level was changed to a photograph that doesn't have anything to do with the Red Savina Pepper. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.131.22.114 (talk) 20:24, 13 February 2012 (UTC)Reply


Lack of Heat in some varieties

edit

Wasn't sure how to word it so that this would fit in the wiki article but felt it was worth commenting.

The heat units in peppers vary drastically with even the slightest climate change and even more so with available moisture levels. The article comments that many growers are unable to achieve the original variety's heat levels and this is most likely due to planting in slightly different environments where the rainfall and humidity levels vary from its original source location.

I've experienced this myself with growing pepper varieties where a drought year will produce peppers 50-60% lower than expected heat ranges. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.77.9.130 (talk) 18:17, 17 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

NPOV regarding displacement

edit

I've flagged NPOV because the new text suggesting the displacement of Red Savina by Naga seems to try to discredit Frank Garcia and Dave DeWitt. It also makes claims regarding official rankings (including the Mexican variety) without citing new sources.--Bovineone 07:01, 2 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Effects

About four or five of my friends each ate one of these. By the last one, we had the symtoms memorized and order they occured memorized. Do you want me to put this in the article? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.169.118.24 (talk) 01:29, 15 December 2006 (UTC).Reply

Possible Advertising

edit

The section about the "Cactus Bar and Grill" in Chicago appears to be advertising, and has information that is not specific to the Red Savina pepper. Mal7798 (talk) 14:33, 8 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Test methodology?

edit

From the article: "The exact method Garcia used to select the hottest strains is not publicly known."

Perhaps he tasted them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.41.40.24 (talk) 15:07, 3 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
