It's not so hot you take one bite and are out of the spicy game for the afternoon, running around for milk or yogurt, like with pure hot sauces.

I was just trying out some ghost pepper hot sauce stuff from a local shop that's "crazy hot!" and what not, and the usual disappointment leads me to think companies need like an independent reputable taste test for such things.... so, you can actually say "Even [this guy] said it burned his face off!"... if not, of course, an official Scoville rating.
Of course, that's counter to the marketing scheme of saying things are crazy hot when it's really fairly mild relative to the serious stuff.
This is a great thread, I need to grab more of the Hatch Chile salsa and more Mrs Renfros, and try some others.
