The Source Hot Sauce, 7.1 Million Scoville Units

Whoa, Nelly! This is NOT your grandad's hot sauce. In fact, it's not hot sauce at all. It's pure death paste, and I love it! Boxed in a classy ancient artifact-style package, this 1 Oz bottle of pure pain is guarded by disclaimers. As I navigated through them, I started to wonder if I should even try this stuff at all. Do not eat, it says, in not so few words. I've eaten many hot things: raw habaneros, reaper chips, ghost pepper sauces. Understanding the Scoville rating on this sauce kept me on guard as I carefully cut and peeled away the well-stuck on plastic food safety seal. I unscrewed the cap to glimpse the deadly substance hiding in the bottle. A small stirring stick is affixed to the cap to allow you to fetch it out of the bottle without physical contact. To my surprise, I found the consistency to be more like honey and less like sauce. Intrigued, I carefully tried to avoid dabbing any onto the flat glass top of the bottle while I stirred the fluid off the neck of the bottle. A tiny, pinhead-sized amount of this stuff got marooned on the top of the bottle. With a small paring knife, I scraped it off, deciding what to do next. Pinky finger. I can sacrifice my pinky finger, no problem. I dabbed the minuscule glob onto my pinky careful not to smudge it, really just to contact it, like how the vermouth should be presented to a Martini. I tasted it with the tip of my tongue. 30 minutes later I can no longer feel the heat. Well done, guys. Well done.

I was seeking a ridiculously hot, hot sauce, and this did not disappoint. Although I was looking for the hottest hot sauce, this is hot enough for me. 7.1 million Scoville heat units is crazy hot. But 16 million...why?!? Why would such a thing exist?!? That's pure capsaicin, who needs pure capsaicin? The Source offers more heat than what you need, giving you a generous ounce of this stuff. I tested it by rubbing the tip of the handle of a spoon to the dipstick, coating the very end of it, not just the tip. Then, I stirred the upside down spoon in a big pot (less than 16 quarts) of boiling water. After I felt the hot sauce was sufficiently stirred, I tested the water with a teaspoon. I could tell it was there, it wasn't overpowering, I didn't need to chase it with milk or anything, it was tolerable. I recently cooked chili with it and decided to put a whole drop in the pot. I could eat it, but anyone who can't handle spicy foods would not be able to. When handling the hot sauce, I recommend disposable gloves (mandatory) and just in case, eye protection. This hot sauce should be kept away from the reach of children. The only thing I didn't like was that no information was available to me on how to safely test this hot sauce. But if you read this review, at least now you know what I didn't. You are getting your money's worth!

Bottle was leaking into the box and seal was broken. But it wasnt dried out like i had seen in other reviews, which is why im still giving it 4 stars. Im still gonna try it to make sure it the same amount of fun as it was last time.

I ordered this sauce for my friends and I to try. Up to us eating it, we have had things up to about 3,000,000 scovilles (local restaurants have hot sauces, we have tried ghost chilis, etc.). This was easily the hottest thing I've ever eaten. Despite this being a food additive only, it alone has a horrible taste. I took a very small drop and it tasted awful. When all of us tried it, we put a spoon full on a biscuit, and I could barely even swallow it, it was that bad.I have never tried to put it in a pot of chili or anything, simply because I never want to eat it again.Here is a story:After eating it, I must have gotten this stuff on my hand, because I got this stuff in my eyes by accident, and ended up having to wash them out for about an hour. I couldn't open my eyes for about 20 minutes, and then when I could, I only saw black. Thank god that after a while I got my vision back.About 2-3 hours later, my stomach hurt like crazy. Literally, worst pain ever. Worse than being kicked in the nuts by your school's best soccer player, which I know about, since that happened to me. For about 15 minutes I was on the ground of my bathroom, unable to move because of the pain, and throwing up all the while.My recommendation is to only get this if you are used to hot sauces, and won't die so easily. Not for the faint of heart, as they say.

It's pretty hot for something of this price range. I'd recommend something in the $250 range for more serious heat. The packaging is pretty weak. The taste is similar to green tobacco but it's like twice as hot. Not bad on a burrito but not great either. Pistmans low end sauce is only forty dollars more and worth it. I'd start there.
