- LegendarySock, on 10/12/2007, -2/+30YET STRANGELY I want to try every sauce on this page.
or at least the hottest.
PS: Buying the demon ichor thing rite now...
if I die... remember me as a hero. - omnithought, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2816 MILLION Scoville units? Jesus *****! I like spicy, but that's as insane as Scientology! ;)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21YEAH!! 1998 Angelfire site designs!!1
- crashflow, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19Muy caliente.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Yeah... I'd really challenge anyone to be able to tell the difference between the 600,000 Scoville unit sauces and the 700,000 or even 1,000,000 ones. The thing is, these don't add to the flavor of the food - which is what people who really like hot, spicy food want. I've had the "Smack my Ass and Call Me Sally" sauce at Tijuana Flats (a great restaurant by the way, not at all "authentic" Mexican but very good quality) and it's just plain unpleasant. It's a thick, dark red sauce bordering on a paste. It has no flavor, it's just hot, and it burns for a long time, longer than you want it to. Put it on a taco and you've just wasted your money, because you will not taste that taco. This is coming from a guy who will happily eat "Atomic" hot wings that no one else at the table will touch.
They're certainly right about "Tabasco" brand hot sauce not really being all that hot, but if that's about 2000 units then I'd say 10,000 is about as hot as you could go as still have it adding to the flavor of the food, rather than taking away all flavor and just replacing it with "arrrgg! burning!"
Check out Indian food if you like hot and spicy but also want complex and flavorful. Just going as hot as you can is pointless, and I suspect that using too much of some of these could cause real damage to your taste buds, and possibly esophagus as well. - Zodzilla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10My dormmate in college had a bottle of Da Bomb (1.5 mill scolfield units). I tried it out with Calzones once and the results were not pretty. First my mouth went numb, then I could feel nothing but sharp pain on my tounge. The worst part is that your tounge flails about to get rid off the stinging, and it just spreads all over your mouth. This leads to you opening up your mouth, only to realise that you're inhaling the stuff. Then you cough and wheeze and die a horrible diarrhetic death.
Quite good stuff actually.
P.S. the other problem with Da Bomb (not sure about the other ones) is that the bottle wasn't well designed and the stuff would leak onto your hands when you poured it. Then hours later you'd scratch your eyes, only to have them suddenly turn red, then burst out of your sockets. Thus also causing you to die a horrible diarrhetic death. - XxUNDEROATHxX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10theyre meant to be a collectors item or something youd break out when you or your friends are insanely drunk....
But other than that I cant think of any other uses.... - Schug, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Here's a more in-depth review of the hottest sauce -- http://www.hotsauceblog.com/hotsaucearchives/blairs-16-million-product-review/
- rageguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Also standard issue pepper spray is somewhere between 2,000,000 - 5,000,000 Scoville. Just to put into perspective how hot the 10,000,000+ sauces would be.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Wouldn't trying to eat these things cause damage to nerve endings in your mouth? It certainly doesn't look terribly healthy. I'd imagine there has to be SOME medical consequence.
In any case, if you want to experience the sort of pain and discomfort associated with these things, just take some sandpaper and swiftly rub it into your tongue. - biff198, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Taste? Taste has nothing to do with it, my friend. You can't taste anything once your tongue has been fired out the back of your head. These sauces are about being a pure, uninhibited "pain-in-the-neck"
- jonom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Tobasco is hot? It's a food group around my place... =)
- Rosco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6mmm, Chipotle, God's favorite BBQ sauce! I used to buy chipotles straight from Mexico all the time, that stuff is pure love capped in a bottle, yes indeed.
- capn_caveman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6My wife used to work as the head chef for a company in Columbus called Cajohn's firery foods. I used to see her come home from work and she was in incredible pain because of coming into contact with the extracts and sauces. Don't work for a company that manufactures hot sauce - it IS NOT FUN.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Why? Heat is nice but flavour is more important and beyond a certain point you really don't taste any of it.
- RicDesan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6They forgot Schulze's 250,000 HU PER ounce liquid Cayenne. ITs medicinal but yummy at the same time. Did you know Cayenne at this level will clot the blood in a cut in the blink of an eye? Strong Stuff!
- ode2k, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6The Wikipedia article on Scoville Units http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoville_scale
- christoscamaro, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Wow crappy animated .gifs, part of a "Web Ring"?
I'm guessing this site was setup before Quake 1 was out. Not that it doesn't have worthy content, it's just odd to see a website like this again. - BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7You mean Digg v3.
- eleven, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I have some Satan's Blood™ sitting in my cupboard - not sure when I will try it. I think perhaps a big pot of chilli drop by drop. The stuff is not the hottest, but I had to sign a waver before I could buy it.
- robzepeda, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5other than torture...WTF would u use some of this for?
ps i love spicy food - stappawho, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5We used to carry a sauce called Hellfire & Damnation at a restaurant I worked at. It called for a drop or two for an entire pot of chile. HOT as a motha.
We used to make wings to order and we had a guy come in claiming that we could not make a wing to hot for him. So we loaded them up with the sauce. He took one bite and just about died. We were no longer aloud near the sauce after that, nor did we make wings to order.
Just did a little research and it comes in under most on that list. Still though, probably sitting in the top 20. - thexder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I knew that, but the spiciness overcame my capacity to form coherent thoughts.
- positron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5In case you didn't know, highly concentrated pure capsacin (which alot of these basicly are) is a poison that can cause a variety of potentially fatal effects including heart attacks. Anyone who tried to use it as a joke would likely end up in prison for murder or attempted murder unless the 'sauce' was highly diluted before use.
- chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5FYI
Pepper spray is 2,000,000 - 5,000,000 Scoville units, this stuff is 16million.
Insanity. - thexder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I like spicy food. I put hot sauce on everything. Love wasabi etc. But once in Mexico I was at a fancy restaurant and having some chips and salsa at the bar. The bartender warned me the sauce was hot. This should have been a sign. A mexican warning me about hot sauce? I should have known. Me thinking I'm all that take a bunch of the stuff on a chip and swallow it. OMFG it was the hottest thing I'd ever tasted. I drank my drink, my wife's drink, a glass of water, at almost all the chips and the bruing wouldn't go away. The bartender saw me suffering and asked someone to bring me some lemon sherbert which took it away instantly. An I imagine that sauce wasn't even 300,000 on that chart.
- alexj, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5angelfire is awesome. i especially love the dancing chilli pepper!(sarcasm)
- theblooms, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I've had the Dave's Ultimate. That crap was HOT. I can't even imagine what this other stuff "tastes" like.
I would like to get some of the Blair's 16,000,000 and shoot it on a GC or HPLC to compare it with the other stuff. - kajoob, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Not the hottest sauce ever, not even close. It is, however, the BEST blend of heat and smokey chipotle flavor mankind has ever known:
http://www.melindas.com/sauces/chipolte.html - tahim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3i had to sign a release about 5-6 years ago in savannah, ga when i bought a bottle of dave's insanity.... promising not to use it as part of a prank.
- tommyk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I have eaten a scotch bonnet pepper by accident (thought it was something else at a farmer's market). It was so hot that I considered eating grass to try to get the heat off my tongue. I can't imagine what having some of these sauces are like.
- Porsche944, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I've tried pure cap before about 5 drops. It's rated at 500,000. My mouth was on fire , eyes watered, sneezing, for 30 minutes and I was constantly eating bread. I wouldn't even think about trying anything hotter.
- mukyboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I've had 357 Mad Dog. Its a good choice for someone who wants something extremly hot but wants something with flavor. also, it doesnt break the bank or your digestive system

Blair's Death Sauces
http://extremefood.com/index.php - Atomic1fire, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5imagine if you mixed all of that and then put it in someones sandwitch as a joke
- Bloast, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Keep in mind that Tobasco is around 2500 Scofield Units. The sauces mentioned here are up to 16,000,000 Scofield Units.
- Yashar, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4I'd like to see a video of someone trying one of those.
(its time to search youtube!) - ravitek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Two years ago I picked up the Gold Cap 'World's Hottest Hot Sauce' in New Orleans, LA (1,000,000 Scoville). About 3/4ths of the bottle is still full. I don't know how it happened, but with it just sitting in the cabinet, the acidity has eaten through the label, and if you even touch the bottle, you better think twice of touching sensitive parts (eyes, etc) before washing your hands with soap. I must say though, even with one drop, the sauce itself doesn't taste that great. One drop will keep your mouth burning for about 25 minutes.
Edit: Mine didn't come with a working fire extinguisher. I want a refund. - VeganG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I buy chipotle tabasco often. It's awesome.
- candiru, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3" It is not used or useful for anything other than as a diluted base for other hot sauces or pepper-sprays; the human tongue cant even tell the difference between 1 and 16 million capsaicin extract! "
~Some Guy - CheeseheadDave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Gas Chromatograph and High Pressure (or Performance) Liquid Chromatograph.
Two pieces of lab technology which are useful for separating out components of a chemical mixture. I've never done GC, but in HPLC, you inject the sample at the top of a column filled with some sort of resin to which the sample chemically binds, then pump a solvent through the column in a gradually increasing concentration until the sample unbinds from the resin and flows through the column to a UV detector at the other end. Usually, you set up a chart recorder and when your sample comes off, you'll see peaks. When run properly, the same substance should come off the column at the exact same time on any given run.
For this, you could run the pure stuff first as a "standard" and see at what time and how big the generated peak is. When you run the other samples through at identical concentrations, the capsicum peak will be at the same spot in the chart, but the size of the peak will vary based on the concentration. - Farmer77, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Here's a video of a guy eating a spoon of hot sauce for a 100 bucks. It's Mad Dog 357 hot sauce, the 27th hottest product on that Hot Sauce List, but it is still damn hot.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=HyD7x4gwFlg&search=hot%20sauce - dwight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I picked up some of that Demon Ichor (2 million scovilles) a few years ago. It was a hit at parties.
The point was to dare people to try a little drop on a chip and laugh as everyone being a tough guy ended up crying their faces off in the kitchen. Unfortunately one of my friends was feeling a bit too tough (you know the type, the guy that eats 5 month old cheese out of the couch, chews beer bottles, etc), ripped the bottle out of my hand, and took a swig of it straight from the bottle. We just kind of stared blankly in shock. "Okay, a single drop on your tongue is crazy, what you just did is suicide. I think youre about to die or something..." About a minute later he ran to think sink swearing and puking instantly, his eyes and face swelling up. He said he couldnt breathe and couldnt see and was seconds away from motioning for an ambulance. He basically had his head under the tap for the next 2 hours then he was "kind of" okay. - djdole, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I see no science here.
'Cool' submission (I'm a big 'Blair's' fan) but 'Wrong Topic'
Also, Tabasco is on the list, but Dave's Insanity sauces aren't listed.
Dave's sauces are right up there with Blair's, and kick Tabasco’s arse.
So this is also somewhat inaccurate. - VorpalK, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Not tough. Put a single, unseeded Habanero pepper into a pot of Chili, and it will be inedible too. I learned that the hard way. Seed and clean it, and a single Hab is about right for a 2 quart batch.
- Yashar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2just to let you know just 1 drop would be more than enough. Someone not knowing this and just pouring it on their food could get close to serious injury.
- VeganG, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Why the ***** did you drink a bunch of water and drinks? All you did was spread it.
- colonelpanic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1My aunt and uncle know the owner of Blaire's. On occasion I get their chips and sauce, good stuff, try it.
- darthrsg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have a bottle of Mega-Death sauce and it ain't t o be played with. I have seen it make grown men cry. One drop in a whole jar of salsa is way too much for everyone I know, except me. It has a great heat that can be painful at times. Try it.
- chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3That guy put a tiny "crumb-sized" piece into a full pot of soup, and it was inedible!
