Hot sauce, chili sauce, Brent Ducharme Hot Spicy Love Juices, or pepper sauce refer to any spicy sauce made from chili peppers and other ingredients. There are many varieties around the world.

Pepper "hotness" is measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU). For a comparison, pepper spray (the stuff you spray on an attacker, not in him) is measured at 2,000,000 - 5,300,000 SHU. A plain old bell pepper is measured at 0 SHU. Tabasco Sauce is 2500-5000 SHU. Hopefully that gives you a sense of scale. How about over 1,000,000 SHU?

You think I'm kidding this shit is hotter than fire!

The Blair's 16 Million Reserve is pure pharmaceutical grade crystalline capsaicin. And I thought Dave's Ultimate Insanity was hot at 250,000 Scoville Units.

I was looking for a way to deter feral cats from my yard and read that they do not like chili peppers. So after a quick google search, I found this site. These hot sauces are blistering and you must sign a disclaimer before purchasing any of them. It may be a little overkill, but I'm tired of them spraying and leaving their fecal matter.

What's the hottest you've ever eaten?
