    I just find it fun. And super hot sauces don’t have to be devoid of flavor. There’s truly a lot of options when it comes to hot sauces. I have a rack specifically for super hot sauce bottles, lol.

    My wife got me these really nice pepper flake blends from Flatiron for the holidays a few years ago and it was a fantastic gift. It included 5 different blends ranging from about 10,000 Scoville to about… 750,000K. It’s painful. Straight up. I can’t say it isn’t an unpleasant sensation. It’s just fun. Like I’ll be chuckling to myself while wheezing from the overwhelming heat.

    There’s a Carolina Reaper version of Blue Almond almonds that I love. Super spicy. And low carb. Unfortunately I think they discontinued them because there isn’t a huge market for superhot enjoyers.

      The Trinidad Scorpion pepper is hot, but has an EXTREMELY delicious fruity flavor that I haven’t had from any other pepper.

      Carolina reapers just taste/smell like gasoline.

        There’s a hot sauce I regularly get that’s scorpion pepper and prickly pear and it’s amazing. Fruity to the point of being almost bubble gum sweet at first and then the heat hits.

          I’ve got one called “La Jefa” from SauceBoss that has it, nice earthy and hot flavor with that nice fruityness

          Also got one called “Djabla Filipino hot sauce”, also very tasty
