Found this at either Dollar General or Dollar Tree. Can't remember. Not bad. Pretty decent spice. Like a big ol' cup o' noodles with some low level buldak sauce.

Life is hard, albeit lovely. I hope you are all out there facing your challenges and meanwhile doing what you can to make things as easy on yourselves as possible. Some days, this presents itself in the form of meals. This one has: •Maruchan Ramen Noodle Soup, Chicken Flavor•Poached Eggs•Plenty of Scallions•Melinda’s Ghost Pepper Hot Wing Sauce

Suggestions for quality hot sauce variety packs?

Hot sauce variety packs are always fun for Christmas gifts or white elephant gift exchanges. The only problem is they are always relatively cheap and the quality suffers since the selling point is always mainly the perceived variety.

Are there any good tasting, actually spicy variety packs?

If you were to make your own Hot Ones challenge...

Which 10 sauces would you use?

Remember that they have to be of increasing spice, from fairly mild to unbearably hot. Which 10 sauces would you use to coat your wings?

Pepper sauce challenge

Haven’t tried the first two (they obvs won’t be spicy) red Sabina had a weird taste but manageable. Ghost pepper was great kick. Scorpion was much spicier than Tabasco scorpion.

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

  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
