I was in a hot sauce store yesterday in Niagara Falls.
They have a ton of their own store brand sauces as well as other brands.
They have Mad Dog 357 Ghost Pepper sauce, but that's not the hottest sauce they have.
They have one called The Hottest Sauce in the Universe 2nd Dimension.
If you survive a tasting, they give you a sticker.
I got a sticker.
They give you a choice of dipping a tooth pick or having a drop on a chip.
I chose the drop on the chip.
I should have chosen the dipped tooth pick...
The guy put a pretty sizable drop on the chip. My first thought was, "That's WAY too much." Then I popped it in my mouth.
Then I started to cry.
Well, not weeping, but ya know.
I was already sweating from the walk up the hill from The Falls. I didn't think there was any possible way I could sweat more.
I think I started sweating bone marrow...
Starbucks next door sells milk in those little cartons. They only had one left. It was almost enough. Almost.
There's no taste to that kind of stuff though - and they tell you as much. The whole idea of it is to add heat to a recipe.
But you get a STICKER!
