Yeah that's the one. What a weird fucking collectible, but hey I guess if you're really into hot sauce it'd be a neat conversation piece.
A lot of hotter-range sauces are made purely for the collectible and show-off value rather than being intended for real consumption. While some of them are legit sauces, a lot of them are just capsaicin with a really generic vinegar/tomato base, which is kind of lame if you ask me. Like how some restaurant Phals are just the Vindaloo with a shitload of chili peppers added with no rhyme or reason.
Anything over 1,000,000 has to be mixed other your just basically eating citric acid flavored jet fuel, there is no real "taste" to it.
In college, my roommate introduced me to ghost pepper I didn't actually find it to be hot, personally. It was then I figured out I was actually able to eat insanely hot peppers. I have personal experience with El spicy culo, though. Often times, I make spaghetti with my personal Carolina reaper sauces, and my roommate one time ate it with me. There happened to be a bottle of bourbon next to him and it was getting too much for him so he asked for milk. Doesn't actually help. Alcohol actively removes capsicum from your tongue.i told him this and before he could hear me say that it will feel like you're doing for about a minute but the burn will go away, he chugged the bourbon. Needless to say he went from a light red to a deep scarlet look of regret instantly. He was able to wave it off though. Also had a friend ask for a bottle, he grossly underestimated the heat (it creeps up and bites you because it's a mix of scorpion and reaper) and put about a tablespoon of it on his burrito after trying it with a small amount. He told me he had it creep up after a good bite of it and Midway into the second bite, he dropped the burrito and had to stand up and like cover his mouth. Said he never experienced or expected anything like that in his lifetime. So, guys, take it from someone with a lot of experience making sauces and purees with stuff that is so hot it can be used as car degreaser. Don't jump into biting something like these peppers lightly. They can cause your airways to shut, your eyes to bleed, your nose to bleed, and even send you into anaphylactic shock if you're not careful. Sauces and purees are often times many times less hot than the actual pepper because of vinegar and other processing. Had another roommate just put stuff in the dishwasher that was in the sink. I had put a jar on the side of the sink for it to dry out and after smelling it my roommate knew what it was and why it was there but in a lapse of thought put it on the top rack. He tear gassed my entire apartment essentially. Eyes burning, watering, and coughing insued. All of these are funny to me now, since nobody got hurt or ended up with issues but I never had my friends try the peppers. They're hot enough to kill you. Personally, I ate one and ended up with a pain in my gut for days afterwards compounded by El spicy culo.
