Times ten again.” In other words, a Carolina Reaper is a scorching 2.2 million Scoville units. He downed an entire packet of Pepto-Bismol and had one of the two milk cartons at the ready but one of them spilled all over the floor before he even had the chance to drink it. Despite the experience being painful, he decided to play Minecraft while under the influence of the pepper, and, stating that "the spice has worn off", even ate another Carolina Reaper on a whim later on during the video, something that he would immediately regret.
• Boffy is known for having an iconic deep, deadpan voice, which led many of his fans to voice doubts about his supposed young age.

After people got mad, he clarified by stating that he "chose Chinese because it is a difficult language to learn" and there were no racist undertones. It was a joke mocking anti vaxxers who believe that the vaccine has a microchip that allows the distributors of the vaccine to track the distributee.
