    I never understood sweets with spiciness added. It just ruins the whole experience for me. Spicy on savoury foods is fine but not on primarily sweet ones.

          No, plenty of main dishes are spicy/sweet.

          There also desserts and sweets that are spicy/sweet. There are some snacks that are essentially sweetened spicy fish…

      Honestly, thst is very subjective. I love tamarind and pepper candy, vanilla ice cream with spicy chips, and honey plus roasted chillies marinade for pork.

      And I say this as someone who is not into spicy food, there are a few combinations out there, where the sweet and spicy mix actually work great for a snack.

      Sweetness increases your tolerance for heat. The Scoville unit basically tells you how much sugar water it takes to mask the spiciness.

        Chocolate isn’t sweet, it’s bitter. You have to add a lot of sugar to get the sweet chocolate we’re familiar with. The Mayan and Aztec versions of hot chocolate were more like a spicy coffee than the sweet drink we have now.

      I’m the “spicy guy” of my circle of people I know, so I always get brought in the challenge things and hottest x to try. Had the gummies and jerky, and beer, and all sorts of things. The chip has been the only one that I’d actually say was hot. Mouth was fine, but it made my stomach hurt for like 10 minutes.

        There are worse experiences.

        One Chip challenge was no big deal to me. 9M Scoville Lil Nitro Gummy was much hotter but I did it without regret. 16M Scoville CaJohns Trouble Bubble bubble gum felt like it was roughly the same heat as the gummy. I completed the challenge blowing a bubble, but soon after started puking lava. There was regret. 😄

          Trouble bubble is another one of those BS lies. Pure capsaicin is 16 million scoville. The gum uses a tiny amount of it in the gum. It’s the smallest added ingredient in the gum. Diluted from the gum it’s nowhere near 16 million scoville anymore. They still left it extremely hot, but nowhere near 16 million. I’m surprised it made you vomit since you don’t swallow much of the heat juice. Make your lips hurt though from blowing that bubble.

            I’m not sure how the Scoville system measures it exactly since of course no pepper or anything else is going to be pure capsaicin. Is it based on the number of milligrams of capsaicin within a serving or what? Certainly a tiny sliver of Carolina Reaper is different than eating the whole thing but it’s considered a 2.2M pepper regardless.

            In any event I’ve eaten straight reapers and done the 2022 One Chip challenge - the blue tongue one - without issue. The Lil Nitro gummy is way, way hotter than a reaper or the One Chip challenge, and the Trouble Bubble seemed about the same as the Lil Nitro gummy and its the only thing I’ve ever eaten that got a reaction out of me so I wouldn’t call it BS. Can your taste buds really distinguish between an unnatural 9M or 16M scoville anyway? The gum is devious in that you have to chew it a long time to get the sugar out of it and make it pliable enough to blow a bubble. You make and swallow a lot of saliva filled with lava during that time. I’m sure that’s what made me puke. Whatever it’s rating should be - if the 16M is inaccurate - there’s nothing mild about it. I can guarantee you eat it and you won’t call it BS. 😄

              Scoville is measured by blending or breaking down what the capsaicin is in and analyzing what percentage of that is made of capsaicin. Pure capsaicin is 16,000,000 scoville. Half capsaicin is 8,000,000 scoville, and so on. Since the gum has like 8 ingredients in it and the ingredients are legally required to be listed in order of amount the food contains, and the pepper extract is listed as the 8th ingredient, the absolute highest scoville the gum could have is 2,000,000 and that’s only if all 8 ingredients were in equal amounts, which is pretty much a zero chance. In all likelihood the gum is between 300,000 and 800,000 if I were to make agood guess of it.

              They must be kind of inconsistent with the chips and the nitro gummy bear, because when I did the nitro gummy it was a lot less hot than when I did the chip.

          Yeah. I do very hot sauces on about everything I eat. Love the stuff and I think I don’t react to capsaicin like most people. I ate that chip on a completely empty stomach in the morning and that’s what caused my stomach to hurt, I think. I just popped it in my mouth expecting it to be not really any hotter than all the other spicy challenge stuff. I was surprised they made a “challenge” chip actually that hot.

      Yes, like all mammals, mice can taste the capsaicin and it’ll burn.

      On a side note i have pet parrots and they have no receptors to register the capsaicin so those fuckers will sit there eating raw jalapeño and little red Thai peppers like it’s candy, they love the seeds. Then they come over later and give me spicy kisses

      No one does. It isn’t a 2.2 million shu chocolate bar. It just has a very small amount of Carolina reaper pepper as an ingredient in the bar. Most of those hot sauces with goofy names are the same way. “Satan’s lBunghole made with 6,000,000 pepper extract” Yeah. Made with like a drop of extract so the sauce is more like 200,000 scoville.

          Yep. 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.

            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.

              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.

                  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.

            (Ok, and possibly maybe try your first suggestion, I lied, I am slightly a masochist / innately curious =P)

            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’.

        Mouse Yelp Review:

        Walls: 4/5

        • roomy, yet also cozy!

        Climate Control: 3/5

        • gotta stick near the right pipes in peak summer/winter

        Catering: 0/5

        • actual sadistic death trap food, the ‘complimentary’ continental breakfast looks great, but will disembowel you. RIP lil squeeky jr.

        Overall: 2/5

    Some products like this should be required to have dangerous chemical signs on them.

      Why does that look like Mickey is busting a nut? Seeing Mickey’s O-face wasn’t on my list of things to do today.

    One of those things you buy but never to actually eat. I remember my brother bought me a beer that was made using yeast originally cultured from beard hairs belonging to the master Brewmaster (I believe rouge brewery made it). Could never bring myself to drink it. Sat in my shelf for years as more of a keep sake.

      Those bars are fine to eat, though. Spicy chocolate tastes good and the 2.2 million advertising is BS. They contain a tiny amount of pepper from 2 million+ scoville Carolina reaper peppers. Diluted down as the last ingredient in the chocolate bar makes it way, way, lower.

        True true. This isn’t pure form. I probably would still avoid it myself, while I do like hot things, I have the worst luck so I’d somehow get the one they “accidentally” made 2.2 million Scoville lol.

      Beard beer! Yeah, rogue was definitely playing with things at the time (remember voodoo donut?). Gotta keep in mind this brewer had been brewing in a yeast laden environment for many years.

      I feel like I remember reading white labs sampled it and found it was a combo of several of their strains.

        Some ants are actually pretty good. There are green tree cutter ants that are an awesome sour snack.

            So are shrimp and lobsters, basically. Some cultures eat dogs, others eat chickens, and some eat crickets/ants/weird-sea-crustaceans.

            I’m sure that some of the foods I ate as a kid would squick out many folks, but that’s not due to anything inherent in them. There’s nothing weird about eating ‘bugs,’ it’s just a weird semi-trained quirk you have.

            There’s a reason mammals have evolved into ant eaters at least 12 different times and it’s not because ants are bad food.

            High in protein, plentiful and tasty. A good bit of bush tucker.
