Nobody can claim that us designers are not attentive to detail that is for sure. To further your point, I found it interesting that the level of "calienteness" on the second bottle is halfway between the measurement lines. I guess I wasn't aware that anyone was that much of a salsa connoisseur that they could actually measure with that degree of perfection. I stand corrected. This article gave me a chuckle!

Matthew, you'd laugh at the food-labelling over here by comparison: one red chilli for 'not that spicy', two red chillies for 'mild', and three red chillies for 'OMG, that's hot!!' So, we've got just three grades of spicy...much easier to choose, yes, but perhaps a bit too vague as well! Maybe they could use a picture of how hot and bothered someone feels from eating the item....'weak' = barely breaking a sweat, 'Mild' = redness in the cheeks and reaching for a drink, 'Hot' = sweat rolling down face, tongue ON FIRE and steam coming out of the ears! :D I was impressed that they seem to have included a scale range (0-7 or 0-11) …but is it a bit too intricate?
