I bought a serrano chili today. It cost 6c. They're so hot that one's all I'd ever buy. For gross revenue to equal 1 hr of minimum wage, the store would have to sell 250. 50/50 they sell that many in a week. Made me wonder: why do stores stock them? Why do farmers grow them?

Ideas:
* it's helpful ground cover for the farmers?
* the stores stock them not because they make money but because I'd be annoyed if I wanted one and they didn't have it?
* some people buy dozens somehow?

They are consumed in large quantities by Mexicans. We would buy a full bag a week. Huevos a la Mexicana use 2-3 per plate.

Oh, wow, I've only ever seen them with jalapeños! Using serranos that way is serious business!
