¿1912: pharmacist Wilbur
Lincoln Scoville first

measured
the "heat" of peppers

(the word's in quotes
because there's no

actual heat in this
equation, just spiciness,

which hoodwinks
our bodies into thinking

physical flames are
licking our

tongues, throat, lips).
Chilies aren't caliente, which

implies
heat from an actual fire,

but picante,
the word we

use for heat that arises
from spice.
