They are sometimes called armadillo eggs, especially if wrapped in bacon or sausage meat to give the appearance of an armadillo shell.[1][2] The term has been used since around 1972 in Texas, antedating the trademark on "Jalapeño Poppers".[3] As chile relleno can be made with jalapeño, the jalapeño popper is probably a Tex-Mex version of that dish.[4] The name armadillo eggs likely comes from the perceived similarity to Scotch eggs.[3]
When smoked or grilled and stuffed with sausage, they are also referred to as A.B.T or Atomic Buffalo Turds.[3][5][6]
Joey Chestnut holds the Major League Eating record for jalapeño poppers, eating 118 in 10 minutes at the University of Arizona on 8 April 2006.[7]
