So...having polished off the last of a bottle of #ReaperAcha, I can now, in good conscience, open a new bottle of #hotsauce (as I have a number of bottles already opened & in rotation 😁).
I have tried neither of these before; both were gifts.
I *was* thinking of doing a poll, however, odds are Imma just gonna try both 😅
I wonder how many tablespoons it will take of the 2M SHU stuff to *completely* dissolve the lining of my stomach 🤔
@netspionage ooo tell us what they are like
OK, here's the #hotsauce verdicts:
-Old Bay hotsauce was really good...though not all that hot, just a mild bite. Did taste like the best version of Old Bay possible, though. A few drops tasted good; adding a bunch to food was excellent.
-Tabasco Scorpion Sauce was where it is *at* - unlike most Tabasco sauces, not super watery/too much vinegar - just a few drops, and my mouth was pleasantly on-fire, and I could see the slow build from this one going places.
Gotta admit, I went ahead and had some more of that Tabasco Scorpion sauce - just a dab on a spoon - and yeah, it's got some heat to it. Some hang time as well, so...would advise caution for most, unless you're used to dipping your chips into 4M SHU-level stuff.
The Scorpion Sauce is (allegedly) 2M SHU, though not sure I'd go that far; or maybe I just have a higher tolerance? Whatever.
@netspionage @altamaha @JeSsA ... Can you die from eating hot sauce. Like if you just took one fat swig from a bottle?
Not unless you go into anaphylaxis or some such, so...not AFAIK.
I once saw someone foolhardy enough to eat one (1) ENTIRE TABLESPOON of Blair's (don't recall which it was, Mega or Ultra...thereabouts, at the higher end of the scale) despite my exhortations NOT to do so 😱
They did, indeed, get very sick...and I cannot imagine just what it must have felt like to be vomiting up the now capsaicin-enriched contents of their stomach 😬
Nonfatally sick...but still.
@netspionage @Tail @altamaha ohh hell, that sounds so painful
