Years ago, I developed the Law of Conservation of Peppers. It's a corrolary to the Laws of Conservation of Matter and Energy, which state that there is a finite amount of matter and energy, and you can never get rid of either; you just convert it from one to the other.
The Law of Conservation of Peppers states that every pepper has the exact same amount of hotness, or spiciness, inside it. The larger the pepper, the more diluted the hotness. The smaller the pepper, the more concentrated.
This law was postulated when I went to a grocery store in Mexico and bought a tiny can of tiny peppers... yeeeeeeowchhhh!!!!
