While the ghost pepper was once considered to be the hottest pepper in the world, that is no longer the case. According to Pepper Head, the Carolina Reaper pepper has the highest Scoville ranking. That being said, the ghost pepper still holds a spot in the top 10 list.

According to the press release, the new dipping sauce at Wendy’s is meant to be paired with the restaurant’s spicy chicken nuggets.

Wendy’s previously feuded with Dunkin’ over its spicy ghost pepper flavored donut. In October of last year, the two chains traded insults over social media. Dunkin’ was promoting its spicy donut at the time and was comparing it to Wendy’s spicy nuggets. 

At this time, Wendy’s has recently brought the item back to its menu.
