Love Dave’s Insanity. But Dave’s 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 it’s intention was for adding to chili or soups, one drop at a time.

ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 4 days agoYep. 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 don’t 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), “Dave’s Insanity Sauce” is a great tasting and affordable sauce I like to splash and put on all sorts of stuff from eggs to sandwiches to pizza. I’ve 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. It’s actually the hottest sauce they have on that show (and the guests usually show it) even though it’s 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 bomb’s least hot sauces at 136,000 scoville, and like I said, it’s actually the hottest sauce on that show.
There’s another Da Bomb called Ground Zero that’s around 325,000 scoville. That’s to the point where I don’t want to use much at all and it’s quite hot to me. Many other sauces I’ve tried over the decades have claimed to be much higher scoville and they usually aren’t as hot as Ground Zero.
And then they have “da bomb The Final Answer” 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. It’s the shit I’ll only put like a drop of in a bowl of chili.

For sure on Da Bomb. I’m from Kansas City near where it’s 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. It’s great for adding heat to stuff that tastes good. Dave’s is just tasty and goes right on sandwiches and stuff.

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

I’ve 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.

I am not a capcacin masochist, I will not be persuing this, but I do very much appreciate the knowledge dump, I enjoy learning about what the real shit actually is so I can laugh at fools, ahhaha!
…
I still remeber when someone I was with at a restaurant asked me to pass ‘the hot sauce’, I passed them like, you know, actually kinda hot, basic tabasco red sauce, and they got angry at me.
They apparently classified Sriracha as ‘hot sauce’ in their brain, and … thats what they meant by ‘hot sauce’.
Oh honey, oh dear, almost all Sriracha at a restuarant is basically a slightly more interesting and flavorful ketchup, it is not hot sauce.
Like, you, Mr./Ms./Mz. ColeSloth, you seem to be in the spice-pain tolerance range of like, an order(s?) of magnitude beyond me, but I hope you can see just the… sad confusion and hilarity of someone genuinely thinking Sriracha is ‘hot sauce’.

Oh I do indeed. I have to be careful cooking up at the fire station. I made chili once a long time ago that was just a touch spicy to me and a couple of the guys couldn’t eat it :-\

Firefighter who loves burning their face off with spicy food, ahahah, I love it!
You sound like you’d be fun to share a brew with, though I can only imagine your schedule is also insane, hahah!
No clue if your user instance indicates where you’re from, but you just saying that reminds me of passing a boot around at a schnitzel house (haus?) back in the day =P

Lol. The brews are a good time. My job hours couldn’t be better. I work 48 hours on and 96 hours off. Gives me a lot of time to play… and work a 2nd job. I think we might be a ways off from each other. U.S in Missouri.
