Wilbur Scoville’s 151st Birthday

Doodle Wilbur Scoville 151st Birthday Game was a game created by Google to celebrate the 151st birthday of Wilbur Scoville, an American pharmacist who created the Scoville scale, which is used to measure the spiciness of chili peppers. The game was featured on Google's homepage as a Doodle on January 22, 2016.

The game was designed as a fun and educational way to teach people about the Scoville scale and chili peppers. Players took on the role of Wilbur Scoville himself, and had to use his trusty ice cream scoop to cool down the mouths of various cartoon characters who had eaten chili peppers of different spiciness levels.

As players progressed through the game, they encountered different chili pepper varieties, such as jalapenos, habaneros, and ghost peppers, each with its own level of spiciness. The game also included educational information about the Scoville scale and chili peppers, such as how the scale is measured and how it was developed.

The Doodle Wilbur Scoville 151st Birthday Game was well-received and praised for its fun and educational approach to teaching people about chili peppers and the Scoville scale. It was also a unique and creative way to celebrate the life and legacy of Wilbur Scoville, who made significant contributions to the field of pharmacology and food science.
