All I know is the jalapenos I've been buying lately have actually been quite hot. Alarmingly so. Also, at Popeye's in Rockaway Townsquare Mall the other day I got a couple of pickled jals that were totally hot. Amazing. I was so surprised after all the "Fooled You" types I've bought in the last few months. So there are HOT ones out there. Just have to try many to find a few!
