In 1912 a man was examining chili peppers at the Parke-Davis pharmaceutical company, leading to a big discovery of measuring spiciness and heat, pungency of them!
The man was the pharmacist Wilbur Lincoln Scoville.
His creation of "Scoville Organoleptic Test" has widened his popularity in pharmacology world and in the following years he was awarded with:
The Ebert Prize (1922)
The Remington Honor Medal (1929)
Now his honor is awarded, nearly a decade after his first award, with a Google action!
At the 151st birthday Google released an interactive Google Doodle game that lets users tackle heat by throwing balls of ice cream at anthropomorphic peppers.
When playing the standard bell pepper sits at the bottom with 0 Scoville heat units on the Scoville scale. Mild jalapeño has 1,000 while the Carolina Reaper, the world’s hottest pepper, has as many as 2.2 million. Olivia Huynh is the illustrator of this Google Doodle and has treated the ice cream game as a metaphor for cooling off the heat of a pepper’s pungency in her design.
