I've never gone beyond the Tabasco 'habanero' sauce. How hot are we talking against that were the last few here?
Very f
king hot! In new Mexico I had a drop of 1 million scoville scale sauce and I had to take some time out, it messed my stomach and head up. The pepper X sauce on hot ones is 2.7m...I liked that once Lewis had got through, he had another hit anyway. It's like he'd passed, but wanted to conquer! F1 drivers are wired strangely!

That show has vegan wings and milk as an option for all guests.
It's not really optional. Wings come from birds, milk comes from... 
The rest, is just mislabelled food. "Fishless fishfingers" etc..
If you don't get that something is mimicking something else hence the name, I don't know what to say. It's pretty obvious really!

Looks like the Tabasco Habanero I referred to is 7000-8000, so presumably rather a long way from the serious stuff!

In the sauces they're not pure, hence your habanero sauce isn't as strong as the neat pepper. In the case of pepper X sauce, I think it's manipulated to reach 2.7m
It's truly messed up how unpleasant such heat must be.

Based on the individual peppers, this is how they stack up:

Scot's bonnet and Thai prik-ki-noo (mouse s
t pepper) fresh chilies are my absolute limit. I would fail the test very early.TheDeuce said:

Pepper X is a whole new pepper isn't it? It's just not on your chart, the guy who invented the Reaper invented the Pepper X by crossing Reapers and Scorpions I believe. They had an episode with him on at some stage where they tried the raw pepper, he was just popping them like skittles whilst everyone else died around him.In the sauces they're not pure, hence your habanero sauce isn't as strong as the neat pepper.

You're definitely right abut the dilution levels and ingredients mix in sauces, plus a lot of it is just marketing to sell product, I'm sure the actual Pepper-X chillis are incredibly hot, and videos of people with lots of experience trying them backs this up, but the sauces are there to sell in big volumes based on the hype, they aren't representative of the SHU levels of the chillis in them. It's truly messed up how unpleasant such heat must be.
If "Last Dab Experience" is really 91% Pepper-X it should be insane, I've had it, it's not, it's spicy but it's not unpleasant - the peppers in it might be around the 3.0m SHU mark but people like Johnny Scoville (from the Internets and TVs "Superhot: The Spicy World of Pepper People") have done a couple of independent tests on the sauce and it's come out around 60,000 SHU in both... yet my local guy asks £50 a bottle for it imported in... it's marketing.
I have a sauce with it in, I have Pepper-X seasoning powder, they're hot, they aren't "intestinal cramping for hours" hot like raw chilli eaters experience on milder raw chillis.
A cheap Jamaican hot sauce from a little shop in the middle of an estate probably feels hotter IMO... and probably tastes nicer.
There's a huge gulf between competitive chilli eating maniacs and hot sauce people unless you're onto the extract stuff, at which point you're either in it for glory or prize money rather than because you enjoy the high it gives.
Sorry, I've derailed Lewis a bit with this but going back to Last Dab means more than going back to the Pepper-X Last Dab Experience and he deserves some kudos for being that guy

Interesting, I knew it wasn't natural (originally at least).
Well none of the hottest ones are really "natural", they've all been bred to be specifically spicy but also for their flavour. The guy who created them is called Ed Currie (amazing name), well worth a little trip down YouTube. Mexican food IME is some of the hottest food on the globe. The home made salsa that I tried out there, along with the street food, absolutely insane. Not a massive fan of pure heat, but can deal with pretty much any hot wing type thing in the US, unfortunately above a certain point there is no flavour at all, just bitter heat. Can recommend smoking chilli's, and also making your own chill/tomato sauce...balance with sugar and vinegar. I did graduate up the chilli leader board, it's just a case of consuming more and more, but it's not great for your system
I grow chilli's here on our balcony in Baku, including the Carolina Reaper and Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, but last year bought some Regret Chilli Sauce from Wiltshire Chilli Farm, this is on a totally different level, a concentrate with garlic, herbs, and apparently tomatoes coming in at 12 million schovilles

Wow, I've got some serious chilli plant envy!! Mine normally die/get eaten by green aphids or produce very little.Yetski said:

When you say you grow chillies on your balcony... do you supply Tesco!?
