Today, the Google Doodle is captioned: "As COVID-19 continues to impact communities around the world, people and families everywhere are spending more time at home. The Google Doodle on the homepage today sees the first O of the word Google sitting back, eating a chili pepper, before breathing out fire.

The user's goal is to defeat the pepper by throwing ice cream at it, hopefully freezing the pepper in an ice cube. The interactive Google Doodle sees an animation of Scoville trying various peppers before cooling down with ice cream. Today's popular Google Doodle game and the latest in the Stay and Play at Home series is a Doodle celebrating Wilbur Scoville, the inventor of the Scoville Scale which is used to measure a pepper's heat.įirst appearing in January 2016 to mark Scoville's 151st birthday, today's interactive Google Doodle invites users to play as an ice cream cone as they go head-to-head with peppers of increasing heat.
