Creator Blair Lazar and Extreme Food call it "16 Million Reserve." This puppy is 8,000 times stronger than Tabasco sauce, rating at a truly lunatic 16 million units on the Scoville scale. By comparison, Tabasco sauce is bout 2k, Cayenne is 30-50k, Habaneros are 100-350k, and my favourite insane sauce "Da Bomb" (gotta love the radiation symbol on the bottle) is only 120k or so.
One "chilli head" reports that he put a single grain of 16 million Reserve into a pan of tomato soup and reported his wife's words after she tried the soup: "She threatened divorce once she could speak again."
I suspect that even some of my ex-girlfriends might have trouble with it.
There will be only 999 bottles for sale, with prices ranging between $159 and $199. If you're wild n' crazy enough to be interested, or just morbidly curious, Read more at the fine French blog Roland Piquepaille's Technology Trends...
I'll buy that!
Joe, they make you sign a disclaimer!! "display or experimental purposes only"!! serious stuff!!
We'll see tho, i like it hot-- i can take it hotter than any of the guys in my group at work.

Can women tolerate more capsaicin than men? Or were they also part djinn? ;)

Meaning they're thereby used to hot stuff, Joe???
[grin]
16M??? Isn't that pepper spray?
I never understood the appeal of the super-hot sauces for anything other than stupid frat-boy tricks. As you approach the habanero level, you steadily lose flavor in exchange for burn - sometimes this is good, sometimes not. With the distillates, though, all that's left is the burn. Worse yet, it actually deadens your taste buds for up to 24 hours. The whole point is to add flavor, not remove it.
I'm going to have myself genetically re-engineered via a retro virus to tolerate any amount of hot sauce. In fact, I will be able to subsist solely on hot sauce. Mmmmmm... hot sauce.
All the chicks will then know who the man is; and my prospects for procreation will then be greatly enhanced.
The only problem, is that all your vessels for procreation will be greatly deceased.
Paul,
So, you're saying it will result in lots of hot sex for lurker and no responsibility.
We're still waiting to hear all about that mysterious "problem" thing you were speaking of.
Contrary to popular belief Chilli is actually good for you. It's just if your a generic idiot and drop it on your hands and rub it in your eyes.
Then obivously it will cause harm but if you use barely drop of say for example: Blair's 3am in pasta sauce it just spices it up fantastically.
It's just that fratboys are sometimes stupid and they don't understand that giving hot sauce to a person with critical conditions like asthma can or could kill and severly injury them.
The worst I have done is burn my eyes with it (2am). Believe me it is not pretty and that was slightly dilluted with milk in a round serve of chicken korma.
Well, i love hot sauce, good and hot, but i want flavor with it. I just do not see the point (aside from being able to add small amounts of HS to large amounts of stew of chili, etc.)of a sauce that is so insanely hot that you cannot possibly ingest it. Now i concede that heat levels to some degree can be subjective, but 16 million scovies, that's NUTS! I love a good Hab sauce, say, Mild to Wild's Red Savina and Garlic. It is hot enough, and has loads of flavor. My site sells a number of different sauces, and i confess, even one 2 million scovie sauce (chileheads seem to love it) but my favorites are the ones with less heat than that, and lots of flavor, one being Queen of Farts, a curry based sauce with tropical fruit, and a small amount of chilis.
