Thanks to Google doodle 'peppers & ice-cream' game, you can 'spice up' your COVID-19 lockdown

Search giant Google, on 27th March, announced that they are bringing back some of their popular interactive Google Doodle games to help people kill boredom in the lockdown. 

With the tagline 'Stay and Play at Home with Popular Past Google Doodles', the doodle on Monday has a game that they launched on January 22, 2016, to celebrate Wilbur Scoville’s 151st birthday.

Born in Connecticut in 1865, Wilbur Scoville is acclaimed for his Organoleptic test which he invented in 1912 while working at the Parke-Davis pharmaceutical company.

The Organoleptic test measures the pungency or heat of several chili peppers.

Scoville is an ice-cream and pepper fighting game where you can tackle the heat of the peppers by throwing balls of ice cream. 

It’s day 6 of our throwback #GoogleDoodle series...
