Sauces

Just chug that ****er!

You can definitely build up a tolerance to it if that's your thing. There is evidence there is a release of endorphins when you eat something strongly spicy, so that's a thing too that it makes you happy literally. I'm fine with hot foods but I don't seek out the next level heat thing. But I've had stuff so good I just dealt with the heat. There's this little Mexican restaurant in Fernley NV that serves this shredded cabbage and jalapeno and serrano stuff along with a red sauce style salsa that is the absolute bomb. Mix them together on a chip, or a burrito, or your shoe. You can't stop eating it. But it is next level heat, way hotter than I can enjoy. But you can't stop eating it. And the heat is likely part of the appeal.
I bought 5 different sauces from the Heatonist "Hot" and "Hottest" categories so I'll try some of those that are listed from 7/10 to 9/10 and see how I feel about those, then I'll decide if I want to do the challenge with the Apollo sauce, which they list as the hottest hot sauce ever made essentially (they only sell hot sauces that are "natural" so no fancy capsaicin extract processes) using the Apollo pepper.

What's the name of this restaurant I stop in Fernley a lot. It's the last real city before burning man, haha.

La Fiesta. Not sure if it's the same I understand it's under different ownership or something. Haven't been there in probably 10 years. But it's decent American-Mexican food in general.

I've had Reapers before and they are damn hot. Not sure I want to try an Apollo. Eh, who am I kidding? I'd try it.
 
Doesn't salsa literally mean "sauce"?

So tasting two of the pepper sauces that are rated at 7/10 and 8/10 I can put to bed the idea that I'd eat a teaspoon of a sauce they rate at 11/10. Some of the reviews of the 8/10 sauce, Torchbearer Garlic Reaper Sauce, say that 8/10 is misleading as it hits a little harder than that and one person said they think it is hotter than the Apollo sauce listed as 11/10. I'll see once I open the Apollo sauce, but regardless I am not eating a teaspoon of either one plain. The Garlic Reaper Sauce has fantastic flavor, but it is hot AF. The other one I tried is Karma Carnival and it's also damn hot and is listed as a 7/10 but I think I could eat that one straight and not die. It has bright fruity flavors to go with the heat.
