Cartoon Pepper: Carolina Reaper Comic with Bird

"I'm not sure what the big deal is about Carolina Reapers...
They don't have any heat."

Hot Pepper Comic featuring the famous Carolina Reaper and a Bird

Did you know birds can't feel the heat?

In addition to spicing up hot sauce and salsas, some of our pepper seed customers grow our super hot peppers like the Carolina Reaper to dry and add to their seed mixes to discourage squirrels. Birds don't taste the heat but squirrels and other rodents do! Grow your own bird seed for organic treats for your feathered friends all year-long! Learn how to grow a Bird Seed Garden »
