Play as an ice cream cone as you help Scoville cool down after trying jalapeño peppers and a ghost chili pepper.
, the inventor of the Scoville Scale which is used to measure a pepper's heat.
First appearing in January 2016 to mark Scoville's 151st birthday, today's interactive Google Doodle invites users to play as an ice cream cone as they go head-to-head with peppers of increasing heat. The interactive Google Doodle sees an animation of Scoville trying various peppers before cooling down with ice cream. The user's goal is to defeat the pepper by throwing ice cream at it, hopefully freezing the pepper in an ice cube.
The first duel is against a bell pepper, which has zero Scoville heat units. But as the user defeats each pepper, they are faced with an even hotter contender. They will go up against a jalapeño pepper, a Cayenne pepper, a Bhut jolokia or a ghost pepper—which was the first pepper to score over a million Scoville heat units— and a Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Pepper, which scores over two million heat units.
Scoville is most remembered for his organoleptic test, which used human testers to measure the heat of peppers, but one of the earliest mentions of milk as an antidote to pepper heat can be found in his book,The artist behind the Doodle, Olivia When, told Google:"Spiciness is somewhat of a universal, comical experience, which I think opened the door for us to do something we usually might not be able to, like a fighting game.
