Whatever scale we use, I just wish it was consistent instead of everywhere having their own scale with no calibration until you try it, further complicated by your spice tolerance itself varying over time, so you constantly need to recalibrate on any scale that isn't just "hottest they have still isn't hot at all".

The only places that are honest about spice levels are Thai. Or places that just let you add your own chili sate
