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:

Arms race ;)

Someone suggested dropping down some in North Korea for rocket boy...may be on to something ;) Maybe Rodman can send a gift box of candies with this stuff inside them...rocket boy is so overweight, cardiac arrest is likely imminent at some point in his future...peppers could bring it sooner.

Oh yeah. So after my little egg splashing incident, I told my nephew about it. He had just gotten out of the Army and was staying with me. So he was going to show me how much a man he was and did the same thing, ignoring my warnings.

He thought he was going to die!

As a fan of hot sauce, beer, and Scotch, may I opine that the Scoville units arms race, the IPA/hops arms race, and the peat arms race have all gone so far beyond the point at which things stop tasting good that I’ve pretty much jumped off the train.

Asian spicy food makes my bronchial tubes sweat, and I end up with a wet cough that sounds like a death rattle.

If you put plenty of super hot sauce in water in a good sized water gun and shoot someone with it, you can do some serious damage.

Some flavor, spice and a little heat are fine by me, but I fail to see the attraction in eating something that causes discomfort to the degree that some of these peppers do.

Exactly. Excessive heat makes any flavor indistinguishable.

I drink Tapatio directly from the bottle.

Does it even count as hot sauce?

Tabasco used to terrify me as a kid. Now I do hot sauces, but Ghost peppers are on my NOPE! list.

Indonesian Sambal is about as high as I want to go.
