Bōkun Habanero is a Japanese snack food. The name means "Tyrant Habanero", where habanero is the name of one of the world's hottest chili peppers. Its name derives from a play on words linking Habanero and "Tyrant Nero".

The snack consists of potato rings, and is moderately spicy by Japanese standards.

The package features the original tyrant habanero, a chili pepper with a sadistic grin. The bebiita version features his younger sister, and the bebinero version features the original tyrant in his younger days.

Each 55g packet contains 297.3 calories.

Trivia

* Bōkun Habanero is the focus of a popular Japanese meme that started on the popular Japanese bbs 2chan. The meme revolves around an anthropomorphic caricature based on Bōkun Habanero and its mascot. The caricature, Habanero-tan, is of a young, naive girl in a red dress who looks vaguely like a humanoid Habanero pepper.
