Has anyone eaten one of these? I have not, and never will. A guy I work with is trying to locate some but apparently they are not easy to come by.

Yep. Most people don't realize it, but it is something you build a tolerance for. When I was growing up Moms cooked everything spicy so now when I cook at home I have to alter my recipes to tone it down if I'm having company, because what's normal to me can be really bad for someone else.


Also, I read an article the other day saying that there is a new hottest chile, that's even hotter than the Ghost chile. It was the scorpion chile or something.

Nevermind, its not the scorpion pepper. It's called the Naga Viper I guess.

I've only noticed it because BWW pretty much lays it out there for you with so many levels to choose from. The 3rd from hottest was my go-to for a while, moved up a spot, and now I've gotten used to that. Blazin' is really good, but I'm not sure I could eat it every time I went there, with as often as I'm there. I've never tried Dave's Insanity sauces, but every time one of these threads get created, I'm tempted...

“It’s painful to eat,” Fowler has said. “It numbs your tongue, then burns all the way down. It can last an hour, and you just don’t want to talk to anyone or do anything. But it makes you feel great.

“It’s hot enough to strip paint.”

Great, like "I didn't die, awesome!"

A friend's father in law has one in his garden in KC. Had some chili with a "piece" of the pepper in it.

Whoooo...

[Braincase]

Just hold one in your hands for a few minutes, then go take a piss...

I actually ate one of those last weak. It was the worst. My face was on fire, my ears were burning like those old cartoons where steam comes out. I was chugging a gallon of juice, it was mild relieve but as soon as I stopped the burn was killing me instantly again. Got so full I started throwing up, and I got a bloody nose. Oh, and it taste like shit.

I also have a little Blazin sauce from BWW in my fridge, we were snaking on that before I tried the Ghost pepper.

I tried a teeny tiny drop of Ghost Pepper sauce once after a friend suggested I try it. My mouth was on fire for a full half-hour. Water does NOTHING at all to mitigate the damage.

I can't imagine eating one.

Same. I love some hot foot; going down, not a second time. There's no sense punishing Uranus for food.

Dave's Insanity Sauce is really good. It is very hot but it has a great flavor. I brought some to work once to share in the break room for lunch. Good times.

It literally only takes a spec of the jelly to heat your entire mouth to burning levels.

I love hot stuff, even nuclear heat, however, I make it a rule to not eat things with the words bhut jelly
