Reply to comment by I_Automate in [WP] "One drip of this poison is enough to kill a whale." The scientist points towards a table, but the beaker isn't there. Instead a silly coffee cup shaped like a beaker sits. You lower the not coffee cup from your mouth. Tastes like lemon-lime. by DistillerCMac
Good thing too that the one land animal mad enough to think they're tasty is also mad enough to domesticate them and plant them everywhere, so it's a win for the peppers anyway.

...mad enough to selectively breed and genetically modify them to be even more painful, because we just love the pain.
If that doesn't say something about us I don't know what does.
EDIT- Relevant comic.
