I once got an awesome birthday present from my friends of an elaborately packaged hot sauce covered with tons of disclaimers. It was made of chili extract, intensifying the spiciness to unnatural levels. 7.1 million scoville units of heat to be exact. Essentially, it was what’s in mace.
It was so hot a single drop in a large jar of salsa created a fiery salsa so hot that jesus cried.
Well, there’s hot and then there’s thermonuclear.
This “hot sauce” goes beyond just chili extract. It takes the part of the extract that makes hot food hot — capsaicin — into a crystallized form.
A single one of these crystal was placed into an entire can of tomato soup with tweezers and gloves. It didn’t combust or explode, but the results were interesting.
