    Don’t know if this has been mentioned but next to Texas Pete this is my go to sauce. It was a table sauce at a Mexican restaurant and I’ve been hooked ever since.

    Excellent call :handshake: Nice little kick but well within the realm of edible.

    I would definitely NOT recommend this to anyone, chili head or otherwise. I tried it half a dozen times and there's no way around it: it's got a terrible synthetic chemical flavor. I can handle the heat but it's just disgusting. Sort of a burnt metallic flavor with the smell of a cigarette ash tray that was left out in the rain and overflowed. This is the only bottle of sauce I actually dumped out for being that bad. I'll save the bottle for some homemade sauce anyway.

    I love this place, really great assortment of sauces.
    One time we were there, they had a bottle of pure extract...Google Maps

    My coworker turned me on to this one. Easily one of the hottest sauces I’ve ever had, especially for containing zero pepper extracts. Just Carolina Reaper, Scorpion and Habanero peppers. For some reason this one hits even harder than any of the Pepper X sauces I’ve tried too.

    I'd pass on that as well. I like some heat, but that sounds like it would hurt going out even. Lol

    This stuff is the next level up, but I can hardly recommend it enough! Delicious! It'll slap you, but won't hang around and make you hate life. I'm not a face melter eater but enjoy heat. This stuff is perfect. 'Little dab'l do ya'.

    Normally I don’t bother with ramen noodles, but this Korean brand is amazing. I’ve had their carbonara flavor before which is also warm, but this one is fire! My stepdaughter bought me a pack of these yesterday.

    LOL in all honesty, this one had me right on the edge of edible/uncomfortable. Maybe next time I won't put the entire seasoning sauce in it. It sure doesn't need it.

    Let’s try version 2.0
    Under no circumstances would I ever classify this as food :rofl: :lol: It made for interesting interactions when I brought version one to work last year. Some guys got a kick out of them, while a couple others still won’t trust me :whistle:

    A different kind of heat sans capsaicin. I suggest trying a small dab before smothering it on your food first. My eyes are still watering :)

    I've been on the ghost pepper sauce you have there. I find it very enjoyable.

    Agreed :handshake: The Trinidad scorpion sauce is a little harsher but the ghost pepper one is just about perfect. I haven’t gotten into the XXXX reserve yet. I’m going to have to grow some habaneros next year. It’s been a few years.
