Most of these crazy hot sauces seem owned by white guys (but have like crazy ratings on scoville that make you think they aren't meant to be consumed, just to feel like battery acid).

A friend tricked me into eating a cracker with some red liquid smeared on it. He said it was a hot sauce that was 1 million Scovilles and I was like 'That ain't shit, give it here'. Ate it along with a few other people. Looked him dead in the eye and said, "This isn't one million." He laughed and said no, it's 16. It wasn't even hot sauce, just pure capsaicin.

Anyway, all 5-6 of us ended up in the bathroom vomitting. One guy laid down on the tile floor and started crying. Despite only being a few drops, you could feel it move through your body and knew exactly where it was in your digestive system at any given time. It was probably the second most painful experience of my life. -16,000,000/10.

I would absolutely do it a second time.

I like hot sauce, I like the burn, BUT it needs to have flavor.

To many of these sauces, are just pure heat with no flavor (or a really bad one).

Funny story. When I had covid, I had "diminished" taste (not exactly no taste, but very close). Me, feeling like a badass, decided to have some nuclear death wings.

Well, I couldn't "taste" the flavor, but I could feel the heat of the wings. WHat I had neglected to also factor in, was that the burn was only at the entry point, not the "exit point".

On the upside, stuff was waaaay better then any laxatives on the market, lol.
