That makes no sense at all. Why IS there a pepper hanging from the rear-view? Someone worships pepper? :huh:

It is a Italian thing!

In Italy people may wear the cornicello - an amulet of good luck used for protection against the evil-eye curse. It consists of a twisted horn-shaped charm often made of gold, silver, bone, terracotta or red coral. Originally cornecelli resembled the twisted horn of an African eland, though over the years they have become stylized and less horn-like. A regionally popular amulet, they occur primarily in Italy and in America among descendents of Italian immigrants. According to someCalabrese traditions, the horn was once modeled after a chili pepper, due to its abundance in the region.

Hmm, guess that explains why I've never heard of it; not many of italian descent around here -- every kind of hispanic and asian you can shake a stick at, but not italian! :D But now I have to ask... someone's actually afraid of the "evil eye"? In 2016? :eek:

I can not cook without a jar of Calabrian peppers in the house.

The same idiot that resulted in it having a GFI built right into the plug, when I bet the outlet in your bathroom is also GFI protected. :rolleyes:

And back then, the ones that WERE that freaking stupid, got dead of their stupidity, so they couldn't breed and spread it! Darwin is rolling in his grave at all these fucking warnings! It totally defeats "survival of the fittest"!!

Well.. maybe not TOTALLY... there's always gonna be some brain trust who doesn't even bother reading the labels.

Well there's obviously something wrong with tapatalk since every time I scroll past this thread I see an image of Obama with 1 finger near his eye and another one up his ass.
