What has happened to jalapeno peppers?

The ones in the supermarket more often than not taste like bell peppers.
I have noticed this over the past few years and it seems to be getting
worse with time. We used to get a dudd now and then but now we rarely
find a hot one.

The solution of course, is to grow them ourselves. Well guess what?

The ones from the garden shops have the same problem so we started
growing our own from seed. Well, guess what again?

This year's jalapenos grown from seeds advertised as hot are perfectly
sweet. We sampled three different plants from different areas of the
garden and they are all the same.

Any thoughts?

Is there any chance that your taste has changed? I've always understood
the jalapeño to be a not-very-hot pepper. They're plenty hot enough for
me, but maybe if you're really comfortable with really hot ones, the
less-hot will taste like nothing much. I'm only thinking out loud -- no
idea otherwise.
