UPDATE: Size of file is now greatly reduced! Microsoft Paint is definitely "bell"!
I'm in the mood to spice up the typical end-of-year lists with a chart. In honor of what was hot and what was not in 2005, the Daily Pepper presents a Pepper-o-Meter to reveal what is truly habanero, just jalapeno, or flat-out bell. And, yes, you are supposed to read across for the full effect.
Any other suggestions as to what was spicy and not-so-spicy?
