Isn't the Scoville scale already the objective way to say how spicy things are?

Isn't the Scoville scale already the objective way to say how spicy things are?
- pomdevv 3y agoI could include it in the answer. What do you think ?
- reaperman 3y agoI dont think most spicy dishes or processed foods have been evaluated on the scoville scale. Really only peppers.
- fiddlerwoaroof 3y agoAnd, even then, I’ve found the same sort of pepper varies wildly in how spicy it tastes: I’ve had jalapeños that were barely spicier than a bell pepper and jalapeños that were eye-watering (and I can take quite a bit spice-wise).
- politelemon 3y agoWhat does it say about sriracha? I know people who find it difficult to tolerate and some who find it sweet!
- pomdevv 3y agoSays it's spicy
- wink 3y agoKinda useless at times. I eat hot sauces and hot chilis but can't stand normal green pepper in cream sauce :P (I like it, but it feels as spicy to me as habaneros). Also what about Wasabi and horseradish? Scoville is good for chilis and hot sauce products with a rating.
