- djseligman, on 11/11/2007, -1/+66I've always considered myself a hot sauce connoisseur, and at any given time my shelves are stocked with 2-3 dozen different types of sauces of varying levels of heat. Having sampled hundreds of them and having an extremely high tolerance for heat, I've noticed that around 100-150k scovilles it stops being tasty and fun, and just turns into heart pounding, emergency-type, madness-- to the point in which flavors cease to exists. I've tried Dave's Ultimate Insanity and I have to say, it was quite strong. I can't imagine much difference between it and something with a million+ scovilles--other than the possibility of sudden death, of course.
That said, it doesn't stop me from wanting to buy one of the 16-mil pure capsaicin crystals. Woooo haa! - Sharkee, on 11/11/2007, -3/+66Easy, just cover your tongue in candle wax. Just don't blame me when you start hallucinating
- Asianwaste, on 10/12/2007, -2/+42I was stationed in Japan and there was this Thai restaurant down the street from my base that had it's own license system for the spicy food. You had to basically work your way up from the least spiciest to the most. A friend of mine who was a seasoned vet at the place let me try some of his level. That stuff was so spicy I got a bloody nose. Supposedly that's a common thing there too.
- soyjoe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+38i love how most of the bottles look as if they were designed by goth kids.
- theblooms, on 10/12/2007, -2/+32The Dave's I had, my wife threw away. My dad cooked some chili and put like a teaspoon or two in two gallons of chili and ruined it for everybody except him and me. Dave's don't ***** play. This other *****? I would almost be scared once you get into the 1,000,000+ sauces.
- raburmester, on 10/12/2007, -7/+34I might be a girl, but I can handle those sauces!
- ericnmu, on 10/12/2007, -5/+31Wow... my first web page back in 1998 on Geocities used BOTH of those animated fire gifs. What a crappy website (both mine and theirs).
- Rezzy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+27Speaking from experience,The Source is ***** HOT. I wasn't aware of its intensity and a friend had a bottle. He gave me three drops. Needless to say, he is no longer my friend.
- AngryRepublican, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26I once put 3 drops of Dave's Ultimate in a 4-egg omlet. I then had to eat a pint and a half of butter pecan ice cream to make the burning stop.
This other stuff I wouldn't touch with a 39.5-ft pole. Insane. - kooft, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25A fellow programmer used to eat 2 burritos daily smothered in The World's Hottest (1,000,000 Scoville units) with a single Mountain Dew. People would always be curious and want to try the sauce and he would let them, after he reminded them to wash their hands before rubbing their eyes or going to the bathroom...
- adragons, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24After a certain point, it stops being a sauce and turns into something you put 1 drop of into 10 gallons of chili. Also a note to anyone rushing out to buy these, be careful - don't inhale. The fumes will literally burn your nostril hairs. The lower rated ones are safe ;)
- conman16x, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23So I once bought some of Blair's Death Rain dry rub which is made from Red Savina pepper, the second hottest pepper in the world, and measures in at around 500,000 scollville units. Having never tried anything hotter than cayenne pepper, I figured 'how bad could it be?' and put a small pinch of the stuff on my finger and licked it off. Worst decision I've ever made. I felt like I was dying for a good half hour at least.
Blair's is ridiculously hardcore. - Scottie83, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21http://www.hotsauceblog.com/hotsaucearchives/blairs-16-million-product-review/
- Ace0fClub5, on 10/12/2007, -3/+23a friend of mine did the same thing.
the next day he stopped me, took me off to the side and quietly said,
" i woke up in the middle of the night last night and thought i was beeing raped" - horrorpunk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21about halfway down the list is "satans blood"
ive got some of that in my cupboard
i'll be the first to admit that i tried it once and have been freakin' TERRIFIED of it ever since - mattxb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18Once I ate some habanero infused chili at a chili contest called "Devil's Sphincter."
- jtm297, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17I know quite a lot about these hot sauces, as a long time ago I was seeking the hottest. The hottest possible is 16 million, sadly though it's in pure crystal form. When I found out about Blair's 16 million reserve I did some research a long time ago and found this interesting review: http://www.hotsauceblog.com/hotsaucearchives/blairs-16-million-product-review/
Blair himself warned about his product and it's strictly a collectors item. Most of these are FOOD additives and they SHOULD NOT!!!!! be taking directly or put on something. They should be mixed into lets say maybe a soup....but never be stupid enough to try these directly. They are not sauces, they are designed to make your food hotter, some MIGHT have some flavor but the heat is too overpowering if you take it directly. So please no one be stupid enough to buy one of these items to try it, you WILL regret it.
I always love the story about how the Magma 4 was created, and it's cool properties were a accident (so I have heard). The strongest I probably have tried is Satan's blood, and that's a food additive, but I sometimes use it in my soups, makes them a little spicy, only need 1 drop! There's some sort of ratio but I really think it depends on the heat. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+21dugg for the wording used.
- nottidredd, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19I had a bottle of 3AM when it was the hottest sauce. Never used it in cooking but only for practical jokes. Hilarity ensues with just one drop on the bathroom door knob. I was also forced to sign a waiver when i purchased it.
- FrozenKetchup, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Mad Dog 357 gave my friend a hell of a time, he was being all macho after we warned him about it and he took a big sip of it. As if the two hours of pain he felt that night weren't bad enough, he spent the entire next day taking a crap in the shower with the cold water running cause it hurt so bad, pure agony.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15I am not as concerned with the heat on my tongue and mouth but, am VERY concerned what that stuff will feel like exiting.....I stopped eating anything hotter than tabasco years ago because of the effects on my... well you know....
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15oh, and good name for a sauce would be something like
-Paint Thinner
-Rectal Tear
or
-Rectal Prolapse....patent pending... - bighed03, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13only MASOCHISTS need apply.
- suppah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoville_scale
- JHawk24821, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12It's a shame that the 16,000,000 sauce has such a small image; I want to see what the power looks like! Does anyone own a bottle of this stuff? It's all over the net for $200-$300, although most say that they are sold out.
- Ace0fClub5, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12wanted to share this with everyone.
just now snapped a shot of my 357 hot sauce's disclaimer haha

the last ones my fav - GOMiles, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14Had a guest once pass out from hot sauce which he said he had never had too hot of sauce.
Be careful what you wish for. - CRAM3R, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15...........and Preperation H sales sky rocket.
- H3LLSL337, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I used to work at Firehouse subs in a college town and kids would come in all the time asking what the hottest sauce we had was. It was "Da Bomb". And they would inevitably want to try some. So, we would put just a tiny bit on the tip of a toothpick for them and then watch them gag and burn for a good 30 minutes inside the restaurant. It was hilarious.
- Hellmark, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Heh, had something similar happen. Was at a bar, eating wings, and had a bottle of hot sauce with me, and this one drunkard cop came in (he was a regular, and was known for coming straight in after his shift, still in uniform, to get *****) wanted to prove he was a man or something, so he decided to drink the 6 ounce bottle. The sauce was rated at 385,000 scoville heat units. Next thing, he's not feeling as macho as he was before, and is trying to chug down beer to cool off. Found out later, he'd called in sick to work the next 3 days due to feeling the "afterburner" effect everytime he went to the bathroom, and didn't feel comfortable sitting.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9he probably was.............
- scottylist, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9World's Hottest Chili Pepper (1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naga_Jolokia
- Capta1nA, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7that doesn't sound so bad. you got to eat a pint and a half of ice cream
- lazyeyesam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6No, and it's not funny either.
- mattxb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7whatever you do, when cooking with this stuff wash your hands before you go the the bathroom
- thirtysixbelow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5The hottest thing I have ever eaten was probably thai peppers (i'm assuming that's what they were). I was at a thai restaurant and I asked them to put the hot stuff on the side since I had no idea how hot it would be or if I would like it. A small bowl of tiny red peppers cut into slices and inside some kind of sauce was brought out on the side. I took a bite of one and I started to mildly panic. I'm sure it's nothing like the guy who passed out or couldn't talk, but it was an odd feeling. I'm guessing they were thai peppers which are only 100,000 on the scale. I can't imagine much above 100,000 being worth anything other than torture purposes.
- CedEx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4My buddy went into a trance after having a extremely hot chicken wing. Ate his first wing, and that was it. He sat like a zombie, sweating from all his pores. He didn't even want to talk to anyone afterwards, resorting only to grunts to respond to people because he was in deep concentration.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5they supposedly help you burn calories, much like drinking ice water....from what I've heard.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4When I was 12, I decided to try some of Dave's. My friend's dad took a single toothpick, stuck the tip of it in the bottle, and touched it to my tongue. 30 minutes and several large glasses of milk later, me, being an idiot, decided to have another go with a full tortilla chip full of the stuff. Baaaaaaad idea. Very VERY bad idea.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3What a load of crap. You have no idea what you are talking about. It sounds like a very strange form of armchair logic to me.
Get out much? - chroko, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Anything that upsets / panics your digestive, immune and nervous system will burn energy - but that doesn't mean it's healthy. If you want a burning fever, you can also get that from food poisoning, disease and infection. It's not exercising your cardiovascular system, just stressing it.
If your goal is to be healthy, eat something sensible that agrees with you and spend some time in the gym (instead of nursing your ass of fire). If you like the flavor of spices, enjoy it in moderation - but don't expect miracles. - mmazing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I currently have a bottle of Blair's Mega Death sitting in my fridge. Believe me, you don't want to mess around with the stuff. I can take a direct taste, but it leaves you chugging milk for a few minutes.
I had a few friends over one night, and we got talking about hot food, and they decided they wanted to try this hot sauce. One of my friends didn't take my advice of "just a small drop", and got a healthy portion on his finger before plunging it in his mouth. Needless to say, he ended up puking off my deck for 20 minutes.
Three drops of this stuff will make a large batch of chili VERY spicy. And it's only 550,000 scoville units. The top Blair "sauces" are meant only for very large batches of food, purely to add lots of heat. - ubuwalker31, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Not sure why the hotsauceblog was dugg down, it has a great review of the 'hottest' product. Hotsauceblog itself is a great reference and community for hot sauce lovers.
- prkchpsndwiches, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2They also forgot about Quaker Steak's Atomic. It's 150,000 must seem paltry in comparison to some of these http://quakersteak.securetree.com/public/store/product.aspx?id=78E5CC369AF34B308C2C3BC84C7CFC86&d=
- LuxFX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"I've always considered myself a hot sauce connoisseur"
What about chips? Blair's makes the fabulous Death Rain chips. I've got two cases of them here, ready for a promo mailing I'm sending out in a few weeks. I figure anybody that will actually try these chips is definitely going to remember them! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2 I wonder why they didn't have Blair's Jersey Death Sauce on there, it's way hotter than the Mega Death. I gotta say though the hottest one I've tried on the list is The Source and it will absolutely ruin your day. They had a a booth at Zestfest, in Fort Worth, a few years back and put a pinhead size drop on a chip to sample. That stuff is so hot.. unbearable. Another good extract based sauce is Black Mamba, it looks a lot like The Source but is actually bearable to a certain degree.
- soogy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6I have to agree wholeheartedly. Anything over 100,000 is far too extreme and is no longer about the taste. I've tried Naga Jolokia peppers, which are rated at approximately 1,000,000 Scoville, and I thought I was going insane.
- Capta1nA, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@ threemagic
I'd be more worried about other parts of the body being touched. - aussia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2it's good stuff! Adds a nice amount of spice without adding flavour. The trick is to add drops off a toothpick, not pour it out of the bottle. I can handle a LOT of heat, but 4-5 drops of this stuff in a cup or so of salsa was too much for me. When used it moderation (3-4 drops in a big pan of something) it's most excellent.
- VipeNess, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2And this is what happens when you get a bunch of friends and see who can down the most shots of this stuff...
