Hot hot hot

[plonq]

This stuff is just insane.

The hotness of peppers (or the extracts thereof) are measured in Scoville units.  Tabasco sauce falls somewhere in the 2500 to 5000 range, depending on the variety.

A couple of years ago I bought something called Satan's Blood that comes in at 800,000 units, or about 160 Tabascos.




Here is an extract that weighs in at 16,000,000 units of hotness.  It's 20 times hotter than the sauce that I've been afraid to open, and it's 3200 times hotter than  the hottest Tabasco sauce out there.  It's insane.

The Macho Massochist in me makes me want to try some.....

[kamiten.livejournal.com]

Me too. I don't believe I would survive the meeting though.

Well, I've heard that eating chilli causes the release of endorphins... if that's true, then a 16,000,000 SU sauce.......

[kamiten.livejournal.com]

... is a death worth dying. ;)

[plonq.livejournal.com]

Even if you survived a taste, don't forget that what goes in one end...

... begins humming Johnny Cash's "Ring Of Fire"

This sauce would hurt you. I'm not sure if I'd even want to smell this stuff, let along taste it.

On the other hand I'd love to own a bottle of it. =)

It is insane. At 16million, that's *pure* capsaicin. That stuff is outright dangerous. Like, mustard-gas-dangerous.

Even the Satan's Blood you have is far from harmless.

The hottest I've dealt with, and I'm no spice wimp, is "Dave's Ultimate Insanity Hot Sauce". Very tasty, and 90,000 Scovilles.
(actually, I used a 3million Sco. extract once. Like a fraction of a drop in olive oil used to BBQ some chicken. Made a good blackened chicken.)

Mmmmm..... mustard gas....

I'd like to try it ^^

Is your default icon now Richard Nixon? o_0

[plonq.livejournal.com]

Sadly, yes. Rainbow Nixon is currently my default icon.

[furahi.livejournal.com]

This is a sad day for us all -.-

You know your defaut icon should be based on the flamethrower (what was it called? Furburner 2000?) pic by Logozo ^^

[plonq.livejournal.com]

Furburner 2000 you say? Pray tell me more about this fascinating toy...

[furahi.livejournal.com]

Now THAT's an icon ^__^

I like his original, glassless version

[atara.livejournal.com]

But but but Plonq has glasses! If he doesn't have his glasses on he can't see who he's flaming!

[furahi.livejournal.com]

Flaming random people... that sounds like Plonq!

But yeah, I know, that's why Logozo added the glasses o.o

[plonq.livejournal.com]

I wonder whatever became of him? I used to chat with him on a regular basis, and then he just fell off the Earth's crust or something.

[furahi.livejournal.com]

Eventually he's on ICQ... but yeah, I haven't seen him in a few months

I'm surprised you're apprehensive to try it. You've earned a place in folklore as the guy who will try eating anything. No spice can bother you. :D

[plonq.livejournal.com]

I admit that I bought it for the bottle as much as anything else. The problem with the sauce is that it's so hot I'm not sure what I could use it in. A couple of drops in chili could melt the pot.

[boinggoat.livejournal.com]

A few Anthrocons back I accidentally dumped about a quarter-cup of Blair's Insanity in a bowl of chili. I ate the bowl, but it took me all damn night.

[plonq.livejournal.com]

I ate the bowl, but it took me all damn night.

Can't say I blame you. The chilli itself was probably inedible at that point anyway.

Bread bowl?
