I had the same sandwich (Dave's Hot Chicken reaper sandwich). I assumed it was just a marketing stunt. After one bite I had to go back and get a milkshake so I could sip it between bites to finish the damn sandwich.

I find it hard to understand how a potentially hazardous to health food item is even allowed.

What is this obcession with ever increasing level of spice in food, lately?

Because at some point all the flavour just goes away, replaced by a hefty dose of pain.

A guy after my own heart. Do you like vinegar based hot sauces? If not, which sauces do you go for? I’ve struggled for years to find decent sauces and have only found Melinda’s and my own sauces to tolerate.

My mouth is broken and I love really spicy stuff. Like, still haven't met someone in person who likes things as spicy as I like them.

FYI to the Flaming Anus chocolate bar: it's advertising hype BS. Like most hot sauces yelling out some high scoville number. All that big "2.2 million scoville" on the packaging here is actually just referencing that it has Carolina reaper pepper in the chocolate, and that those peppers can be up to 2.2 million scoville.

But the peppers are dead last on the ingredient list. Each bar has very little in it. If I ate a Carolina reaper pepper rated over 2 million even I would hate it and it would burn and I'd feel like my insides wanted to die. But the chocolate bar here is just a spicy little snack.

I'm sure birds are immune as well as Steve-O, can't say for sure of rodents.

This is interesting. A popular squirrel deterrent for bird feeders is to put spicy stuff on the seed. I’ve been trying that lately and the squirrels have completely left my bird feeder alone. So there must be something rodents don’t like — unless squirrels are just built different?

I thought all mammals responded to capsaicin

I assume so. I have had critters gorging on my ghosts and reapers in the garden. Losing an entire plant overnight was the last straw so I have webbing up now, but they were clearly unaffected.

well 9/11 was an inside job

Ok but what about a soothing breeze anus chocolate bar?

Might be more of a Deepwater Horizon situation?

I dunno. I like my chili flavoured candy.

Beside, wasn't chocolate traditionally eaten with chili by the natives? Or was it a spicy coco drink...?

It's amazing how all humans are different.

A lot of Asian foods are spicy/sweet; it is great.

Yeah... this is worse than my sister buying me candy with ants...

No one does. It isn't a 2.2 million shu chocolate bar. It just has a very small amount of Carolina reaper pepper as an ingredient in the bar. Most of those hot sauces with goofy names are the same way. "Satan's lBunghole made with 6,000,000 pepper extract" Yeah. Made with like a drop of extract so the sauce is more like 200,000 scoville.

"fuck this shit I am moving from this house"

I'm the "spicy guy" of my circle of people I know, so I always get brought in the challenge things and hottest x to try. Had the gummies and jerky, and beer, and all sorts of things. The chip has been the only one that I'd actually say was hot. Mouth was fine, but it made my stomach hurt for like 10 minutes.

I don't think that the mouse would have understood them.
