This is one of the only hot sauces so far, that really singed.

This would only make it to #5 on my list.

I've researched them all....those are all in the 7 to 9 range of my list. None of those are rated as high as #10 on my list.

What are you basing on? Brands don't have a heat designation, they go from mild, to molten. Some of those sauces are tame for the numbers I see. SHU is essentially meaningless, as it normally implies usage of ingredients with that heat, not who much of it, or other things. I've had stuff with high SHU, but it was tame.

I grew up in New Orleans with loads of spicy food.
Wifey complains my red beans and rice are inedible because of the amount of cayenne pepper and other stuff I cook it with.

That’s solely what I’m basing my list on is SHU’s. That’s why I’m asking for feed back on my list but saying...well this sauce is hot doesn’t help me much. I need to know where it fits relevant to my list.

Best red bean and rice I ever had was in New Orleans. Don’t know what they do to make it special there but it is special.

I've had stuff with a high scoville extract, and it was rather tame. It still had the the high SHU though. I'd call it a sales gimmick. This is the one.http://cajohns.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_82&product_id=171

If you want to step up, go to the salsa, and not just the sauce. I had trouble munching this down with just chips.

You guys are insane. Your anus isn't going to last that long. When I was in younger years I could handle that, now I'm like... Taco Bell Mild sauce lights my fire!

I think what they are doing is listing the SHU rating of the peppers used and not the actual SHU of the sauce.

Or you could just leave instead, you're always whining so why do you stay? You remind me of an obese cuckoo trying to throw the fledglings out of the nest.

Is anyone here a fan of Sean Evans Youtube program "Hot Ones"?

For those who haven't seen it Hot Ones is an interview program where a guest celebrity in interviewed by the host Sean Evans. As he interviews his guest they eat 10 hot wings. Each wing gets progressively hotter. He usually starts out with a mild hot sauce like Frank's Original hot sauce (about 500 Scoville unites) and progressively gets hotter with each wing till you get to the tenth wing which is sauced with their own hot sauce "the last dab" which has a Scoville rating of around 2 million.

As the guest eats a wing Sean asks them a question and though Sean is a very good interviewer the guest usually give canned responses as most are pretty media savy. Once he gets to the halfway point the wings are sauced at around 250,000 SHU and getting hotter and that changes the entire complexion of the interview as the guest begin to suffer pain and drop their guard and their responses to questions become more and more original...if they can respond at all.

Most of the guest clear the board of wings but a few, probably wisely, toss in the towel. What is a bit surprising to me is that the women guest very often better at dealing with very spicy hot foods then the men. Rachel Ray, for example, didn't even eat the wings. She mainlined them (program jargon for eating a teaspoon of unadulterated sauce. Even when she did a teaspoon of The Last Dab she was kinda....meh...that's hot...when pretty much eveyone else would be dying.

So anyway I decided to do my own Hot Ones challenge at home. Except I didn't purchase the sauces they used for Hot Ones. I basically went shopping around local stores and bought hot sauces that, supposedly, climb the SHU (Scoville Heat Unit) scale. So I got my 10 sauces and did the challenge...I only consider myself middle of the road when it comes to handling head....and much to my surprise I breezed through the board. The only one that gave me a problem was the Kick Ass Carolina Reaper Sauce rated at 1.5 million SHU....but even then it was tolerable...it burned for about 5 to 10 minutes but it was manageable.

So this is a question for you Pepper Heads out there. I'll list my line up and want your feed back if you know about any of these as I feel there may be a lack of truth in advertising as these sauces just didn't seam to be as hot as advertised. So if you could give some feedback to my progressive line up and let me know if you think the advertised SHU rating is legit.

#1. Franks' Original ( around 500 SHU)
#2 Chulola Hot Sauce (around 1000 SHU)
#3. Sriracha (around 2000 SHU)
#4. Tobasco (around 3000 SHU)
#5. Crystal (around 5000)
#6. Melinda's Exxxtra Hot Habenaro Sauce (between 50,000 and 250,000 SHU....I lean towards the 50,000 or less based on my tasting).
#7. Melinda's Red Savina Sauce (advertising states that it has been officially tested at over 500,000 SHU).
#8. Scotty O'Hotty Ghost Pepper Sauce (rated at around 800,000 SHU).
#9. Melinda's Naga Jolokia ( rated around 1,000,000 SHU)
#10. Ass Kicking Carolina Reaper Sauce (rated around 1,500,000)

So being middle of the road and the fact that I didn't feel much of anything in pain I was wondering if I did something wrong. I basically fried my wings and added just enough sauce to get full coverage and then ate them.

You're review and recomendations on my list are welcome. I kid you not the only one that caused me any significant pain was #10.

I wouldn't piss in that cunt's mouth if her teeth were on fire. The easiest solution is for you and all the other Bowel Woman clingons to fuck off.
