No thanks. Super chiles. Jalapeños. And Habaneros for flavoring. That’s it for me.
Agreed. It’s time to have a rational discussion on common-sense pepper control. If even one life is saved, wouldn’t it be worth it?
Really?
I'm a fire eater and know my way around Mombasas and Habaneros, I've even dabbled with Ghost in tiny doses, so I'm not an amateur, but with that experience, comes the realization that weapons grade heat isn't something to be toyed with.
Ghost pepper puree, the planet would be a better place without idiots like that making decisions.
Soon to be a popular challenge on YouBoob.
I’m a chili-head. I don’t go past Habanero. You don’t get much flavor past that, just demonic levels of heat that give you serious regrets. Worst yet, it still has to exit and it still hurts.
I’ve tried Ghost Peppers in several ways. No flavor, just pain.
Best I’ve had was Wild Wings Cafe’s Chernobyl Wings. Great flavor, left me giggling for 20 minutes.
Yes, there was a counter for buying baked goods and then there was a wall probably 40 feet wide that contained what seemed like every hot sauce known to man.
We stood there and read as many titles as we could stand cuz we were laughing so hard.
For example, "So Hot Ya Won't Know What Hit Cha" and a set of four bottles which were in ascending order of hotness all having to do with how bad that particular lower spot will feel if you eat it.
They would probably put this Dragon's Breath in a special room with key card access.
I didn't buy any hot sauce, but their poppy seed rolls were delish.
I bought some Dave’s Instant Insanity Sauce and splashed it on my eggs one morning. I drank about a gallon of milk to put the flames out. Afterwards I read the warning label on the back which warned of possible death if you have any heart conditions.
I learned that it only took one small drop on the tip of a toothpick to fire up a 2 gallon pot of soup or stew. That one 4 ounce bottle lasted me about 15 years.

I have several Wild Wing restaurants within a hour’s drive...LOVE their sauces. I usually get a few sauced with ‘Braveheart’, the hottest on the menu. Love the flavor of ‘Red Dragon’. Rumor has it that there is a sauce hotter than ‘Braveheart’, but you have to order it at the bar and sign an insurance waiver. They deny such an item exists...
The chili pepper arms race moves fast. ‘Pepper X’ has already supplanted the Dragon’s Breath pepper as hottest, clocking in at 3.18m Scoville units:

It’s not a hot pepper unless your mouth goes numb, you break out into a sweat, you drool uncontrollably, your ears ring, and your skin itches.
Puckerbutt’s Currie is the MAN!
I can only shake my head over all this hot pepper one-upmanship.
I keep Texas Pete, Tapatio, and Mrs. Renfro’s Green Jalapeno Salsa in my kitchen and use them fairly often.
They taste good and are cheap ... what better recommendation could I give?
Wow!....Thanks!...............
These peppers are usually not made foe human consumption.
They are used for producing Capsaicin , the hot chemical, for industrial and military applications.........................
LOL...beat me to it!
I learned my lesson with one of those million scoville Carolina Reaper sauces. I like hot sauces and was given the bottle as a gift, so like I would do any other hot sauce, I made some fried potatoes and splashed a liberal amount over them. I knew it was a dumb idea as soon as I took the first taste as the heat and pain overpowered everything, but stupidly I went ahead and finished an entire bowl as my mouth had already went numb at that point. Flash forward a couple hours and I was in the bathroom with the WORST stomach ache of my life, projectile vomiting the contents of my stomach, I honestly thought I was in serious danger of death.
And that’s just thinking about it.
