Ate a ghost pepper while snowboarding

So I took a fresh raw ghost pepper to the ski slopes and ate it then did a snowboard run down the mountain and filmed my reaction for that few minutes of mouth burn

Kinda felt nice with spice in the snow

Sort these Marie Sharp's hot sauces

I'm trying to sort the following Marie Sharp's hot sauces by heat level. The order I have so far (hottest to least hot):

  1. Red Hornet
  2. Beware
  3. No Wimps Allowed
  4. Belizean Heat

Is this order correct?

Tabasco Chipotle - OBITUARY

https://preview.redd.it/kiefqkst1h4e1.jpg?width=1848&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=16e8592abff22e7a759cdc637926584ded2c4e19

Here lies Tabasco Chipotle -

5.7/10

We are here today to talk about a very mainstream sauce. This one is very widely available, likely at your local grocery store! I took this with me on a work trip, and had this with my free breakfast at the hotels. I also bought 8 new sauces on this work trip (reviews to come in the future!).. Anyway, a lot of people here are very familiar with this, so I will just get right into my review! I don't generally compare one sauce to another, but for me, this chipotle sauce was just alright. It has that vinegar punch that regular Tabasco has. It's decently smoky and tasty, but there are still other chipotle sauces that I'd prefer over this. Now, this sauce isn't bad by any means. It gets the job done. But there also isn't anything mind-blowing or even outstanding about this. I enjoyed how it wasn't very sweet at all, it was all tasty smoky chipotle and vinegar. The heat was really low, as with most all chipotle sauces. This could be very agreeable to anyone, even people who don't like spicy foods. It leans towards a thin bbq sauce with a lil punch. This review isn't too intense. I'm sure this is a staple to most. Rest in Peace, Spicy Prince

Feel free to recommend other sauces from this brand, suggest other chipotle sauces, or tell us your experience with this sauce!

Ingredients: Chipotle Pepper, Distilled Vinegar, Water, Salt, Sugar, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Spices, TABASCO® Brand Pepper Pulp (distilled vinegar, red pepper, salt)

I wish people would take capsaicin more seriously as a dietary supplement or drug even, stuff can really have quite the effect physiologically and psychologically

Hello frens

I started eating whole habanero peppers a few years back and quickly got addicted to the burn. I have used them as a sort of medicine and if you looks into the studies done on capsacian and the effects on the human body its really profound. I feels the same similar way about cocoa, but that's a story for a different day. In short, there is a chemical our body produces called substance p, and it is directly releated to pain. Our bodies contain a finite amount of this neurotransmitter or chemical... and rightfully so... just like everything else really. Well a boatload gets released when we eat something very spicy. Endorphins follow too which of course naturally feel good. But substance p takes a while to build back up. Also tolerance to capsaicin is a thing as well.

One day I took a habanero pepper and ate it before a leg workout. Something like 30 minutes before. At this point I ate a habanero every other day, it was a real enjoyment. Something occured to me during this workout, which being legs, is notoriously fucking gut wrenching. That overwhelmed feeling didn't come on as strong. It was noticeably more tolerable. The workout was intense as any, but I seemed to weather it significantly better.

Eating a very spicy pepper before you workout is something I encourage you all to do. If just one person trys this out you will see a big difference. I do not do it every time, on occasion, particularly if I feel not 100% as is. I hope to be manufacturing a supplement with capsaicin in it at varying levels and i hope it catches on. For now, all natural, habanero peppers (deep dark red color with deep ridges are the most spicy and not always available).

Goodbye for now frens ~

I tried the reaper slider from Dave's hot chicken since I've never eaten there before and I thought I could handle the spice...

I was wrong. Ama I guess

Sooo damn good

Picked this up from a farmers market today. They have 3 different hot sauces and all I can say this one is AMAZING. Perfect spice to fruitiness ratio. Genuinely my favorite mango habanero sauce I’ve tried to date. Can’t wait to try the others (garlic habenaro & cayenne garlic). Would highly recommend checking out their site!

Triple Dog Dare Beef Jerky

Dublin Jerky Company Grand Rapids, MI This stuff lit my mouth up and lasted longer than any 3x Buldak has ever come close to. The gut pain was also deeper and longer than any other substance I’ve ingested. Never done The Bomb and I don’t care for the taste of extracts but this shit was BEAST! Not sure I can finish this pack, ever. All of their Jerky is very good and great deal but holy shit this gave me regrets. I Triple Dog Dare You!

Help!

I don't know if this can go here, but I'm lost and I need help. I am a big man baby when it comes to spicy anything. I can't very much stand jalapeno. But my partner, on the other hand - he eats ghost peppers like they're regular green peppers. His birthday is coming up and I want to get him something super spicy that would challenge his tolerance. Not just a basic pepper but something he can use over and over like a hot sauce or whatever. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Cautious haha, once I did this with Thai food and it was um, intense. I tap out around habanero-ghost pepper level. I am noting they don't have, "very spicy," in the American level lol!
I was thinking the spice level would help me span it out into multiple meals. But, I don't want just suffering.

Confirmed: Herr's Reaper cheese puffs are either SIGNIFIGANTLY less spicy than they used to be, or are wildly inconsistent.
