In 1912, Wilbur Scoville developed a scale for measuring the spiciness of peppers. The Scoville scale is still referenced today on many brands of hot sauce so that consumers will understand how much "heat" to expect from the product. This scale provides important information for those people who don't enjoy intensely spicy things. For example, a habanero chili is about 40 times hotter than a jalapeno pepper!
