Hi, Smarty Pants. It's the trusty narrator, the host of Who Smarted?
First, a big welcome to all our new listeners.
Welcome to the Smarty family.
Here's a nice five -star review from one of you.
Hi, trusty. This is my new favorite podcast. I listen in the car with my sister and even before bed.
I'm telling all my friends, too.
Sean P. Ohio. Thanks, Sean.
And that's a great idea.
So, Smarty fam, would you mind doing me a favor?
Tell one friend or another parent or an educator today about Who Smarted?
Because the only thing that's better than listening to Who Smarted is listening to Who Smarted with a friend.
Hello, smarty pants, and welcome to Trusty Trivia Thursday.
Today, we're turning up the heat and sizzling through the tongue -tingling world of spicy foods.
Before we torch your brain with flavor facts, we want to give a big shout out to Olivia in Longview, Texas.
We hear you think all the Who's Smarted episodes are funny and that it's the best podcast for kids.
Well, who are we to argue with logic like that?
We're so happy to have you listening, laughing, and learning with us, Olivia.
All right. Ready? Let's bring the heat.
Question one. What makes spicy food taste hot?
Is it A, capybara juice, B, capsatian, or C, dragon fire?
If you said B, you're blazing bright.
Capsatian is the chemical in chili peppers that triggers heat sensors in your mouth, making you feel the burn, but in a fun way.
Question two. What country is famous for inventing the Scoville scale?
If you picked B, you are scoring big!
The Scoville Scale was created by Wilbur Scoville in the United States in the early 1900s.
It measures the spiciness of peppers from mild to mouth -melting.
Final question. What's considered one of the hottest chili peppers in the world?
Is it A, bell pepper?
The ghost pepper can pack over a million Scoville units.
That is enough heat to haunt your taste buds for a while.
You crushed the spice challenge, Smarty Pants.
So join us next week for more hot takes and cool facts.
