Scoville W5H

Let’s paint a picture.

It’s 1912. There’s no Netflix, no Instagram, no hot sauce TikToks.
Just Wilbur Scoville, a man on a mission to rank spicy pain using science… and taste buds.

He wasn’t a chef or a chili farmer — Wilbur was a pharmacist. And what he created wasn’t a seasoning — it was the Scoville Scale, a method for measuring how hot peppers really are.
