At first, my gift appeared to be a harmless can, innocently decorated with flames and chili peppers, which TOTALLY doesn't foreshadow its contents or anything nefarious like that.

And then I read the instructions, which recommend handling the contents with gloves.

The Challenge Ghost Chili is 1,000,000 SHU and actually has ridiculously easy instructions: Give it a little bit of water, then leave it somewhere sunny and HOT. Eventually, it'll need to be transplanted to a bigger pot and fertilized, but it'll be ready for harvest in about six months. The bush is perennial, so it's actually a pretty amazing gift, because it'll last me for years. The instructions say it's edible, but I'm betting I'll have to work my way up from putting it in stews and nibbling on it before I can ever really say I can truly eat one.

My gifter (whose username I unfortunately don't know) thought this would be a great gift because I live in a sub-tropical zone, and honestly I think it's going to be perfect and I'm so excited to grow this. (Thank you!)
