Keith, I got Kevin last night. He took a small taste of Da Bomb (the hot sauce we got at Horton's Plaza) and it literally knocked him breathless. Just held his finger tip over the end of the bottle, shook it and placed the residue from his finger on his tongue. His eyes instantly got as big as saucers. He lifted off the seat. "Holy shit!" and ran for the milk, tears running down his face. Drank two glasses briskly pacing up and down the kitchen before he could talk. Looked like his hair stood on end too. Neat stuff.

Keith {Note - Horton's Plaza is huge mall in SanDiego (a must visit if you go to SD). One store specializes in hot sauces. I picked up a couple bottles for Kevin while visiting Keith last week. The "160,000" Keith is referring to is Scoville Units (a laboratory measure of capaicin (hotness ingredient) in sauces/peppers). For reference Jalapena based Sauce is about 3,500 to 8,000. Cayenne based Sauce runs 30,000 to 50,000. Da Bomb (above) is 120,000. Source:} Swede's Dock |
