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?

These peppers are usually not made foe human consumption.

They are used for producing Capsaicin , the hot chemical, for industrial and military applications.........................

“I can only shake my head over all this hot pepper one-upmanship.”

Now it has gone well beyond the ‘challenging but still edible’ heat levels into the ‘you will die if you try it’ range, it does seem to be getting silly. Marketing exercise to get some free publicity, I guess.

Still, perhaps they could have some uses. We could airdrop a few pounds of them over Pyongyang, see how Rocket Boy likes the taste.

I drink Tapatio directly from the bottle.

Does it even count as hot sauce?
