So wait... I can't use pepper spray if I run out of peppercorns for my grinder?
And how come when people get pepper sprayed, they don't sneeze?
Edit: I like the Fox news women. If you're gonna watch a talking head blurt out words written by someone else, it might as well be an attractive talking head, right?

The active ingredient in pepper spray is capsaicin, which is a chemical derived from the fruit of plants in the Capsicum genus, including chilis. Extraction of oleoresin capsicum from peppers involves finely ground capsicum, from which capsaicin is extracted in an organic solvent such as ethanol. The solvent is then evaporated, and the remaining waxlike resin is the oleoresin capsicum. An emulsifier such as propylene glycol is used to suspend the OC in water, and pressurized to make it aerosol in pepper spray. The high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method is used to measure the amount of capsaicin and major capsaicinoids within pepper sprays.

How come they don't sell Pepper Spray in the Spices section? It's made in the lab to be thousands of times hotter than the hottest pepper.
She dumbed it down for Fox News viewers.
I challenge her to eat something with pepper spray on it and then tell us it's a food product.
