About Google Doodle Scoville
Google made this doodle in 2016 for the 151st birthday of Wilbur Scoville, the pharmacist who devised the Scoville scale for measuring chilli heat. The game turns that into a shooter: peppers advance toward you and you throw scoops of ice cream to neutralise them, working up from mild bell peppers to the ferociously hot.
It's a simple aim-and-timing game with genuinely charming presentation, and it quietly teaches you the Scoville scale as you go — each level names the pepper and its heat rating.
