Yep. Tons of people want to say they like real hot stuff because it sounds cool, so most hot sauces cater to those people, but they donāt actually want those people to only buy it once. They want repeat customers so they make it mild enough for a lot of people to tolerate.
If you really like hot sauce (like in the top 5% of people), āDaveās Insanity Sauceā is a great tasting and affordable sauce I like to splash and put on all sorts of stuff from eggs to sandwiches to pizza. Iāve even found it at a couple grocery stores. Like $7 a bottle.
If you want truly hot. The kind of stuff that draws out intense pain from most that try it, Da Bomb hot sauces have been made by a company out of Kansas City Kansas called Spicin Foods. You may have heard of Da Bomb beyond insanity from the show Hot Ones. Itās actually the hottest sauce they have on that show (and the guests usually show it) even though itās not the last one in the lineup. Spicin Foods is one of the few companies that I actually believe to have accurate scoville ratings. The hot ones Da Bomb beyond insanity is one of the da bombās least hot sauces at 136,000 scoville, and like I said, itās actually the hottest sauce on that show.
Thereās another Da Bomb called Ground Zero thatās around 325,000 scoville. Thatās to the point where I donāt want to use much at all and itās quite hot to me. Many other sauces Iāve tried over the decades have claimed to be much higher scoville and they usually arenāt as hot as Ground Zero.
And then they have āda bomb The Final Answerā 1,500,000 scoville. Fuck this shit. This can leave a chemical burn on your skin. I have never in my life met anyone in person who does spicy like I do and a large drop of this stuff made me hallucinate colors and sweat outside in freezing weather. By the time my head quit burning my stomach hurt so bad it made me vomit. Which made my mouth start burning again. Itās the shit Iāll only put like a drop of in a bowl of chili.

Love Daveās Insanity. But Daveās Ultimate Insanity is my favorite to date. Da Bomb Beyond Insanity was never meant to be used the way Hot Ones does. There was a behind the scenes at their factory and the owner said itās intention was for adding to chili or soups, one drop at a time.

For sure on Da Bomb. Iām from Kansas City near where itās made and have been using it since 1999. It tastes bad on its own but works great to make other things hot. I keep it around (ground zero) to ad to other hot sauce and salsa and ketchup bottles and Sriracha and BBQ sauce I buy and to ad to soups and chili to make them spicy. Itās great for adding heat to stuff that tastes good. Daveās is just tasty and goes right on sandwiches and stuff.

Yes, indeed. I find it too metallic tasting. No idea what it could be. Iāve bought it twice now, but I think Iām just going to stick with Daveās Ultimate Insanity and Mad Dog 357 (oh you simply must try them).

Iāve had mad dog 357, the 357 silver edition, and the 357 gold. Gold is supposed to be hotter than the silver edition, but the bottle I had of gold was a touch less spicy than silver. None of the three actually tasted hotter than the 321k da bomb, but they were sure better tasting.
