Bottle Da Bomb Beyond Insanity Hot Sauce, Bottle

Holy seventh circle in hell. This sauce... absolutely deserves its reputation on the show Hot Ones as the sauce that breaks anybody down, regardless of spice tolerance or affinity. I bought it purely just to experience it because it's hilarious how people on Hot Ones react to it — and I didn't underestimate it because I knew that if I did, I'd be in for a hellish experience, and mind you, I love spicy food, but this truly is -stupid- hot. Like comparable-to-Satan's-butthole-hot. If you like spicy food and are scoffing at this review and others thinking, "Oh pfft, it can't be THAT bad," oh it IS. This WILL humble you. I'm smirking just thinking about someone who goes into tasting this and underestimating it. If you're for some reason on here looking for a hot sauce that has flavor, this isn't it. This is literally like spraying pepper spray directly onto your tongue, and then squirming in pain exactly like the interview subjects in Hot Ones. The people on there are not exaggerating; I tasted a tiny DROP, literally a RAINDROP size drop less than the diameter of a DIME, on a tortilla chip, and even that small drop was tear-inducing, made my nose run, and pure P A I N sat on my tongue and the roof of my mouth for 15 minutes. It has an extremely faint Chipotle flavor, but not the delicious smokiness you typically get from Chipotle sauces. It's almost flavorless. It's like licking burned, unseasoned, charred meat, but just spicy and painful. I'm not exaggerating. Don't buy this for something tasty. ***If you're doing this just as a Hot Ones challenge, here's what you need to know: it does indeed have a half-life, as Sean Evans has said on the show. It will hurt pretty bad for like 15, 20 minutes tops and make it hard to speak or even think in that time period, after which it slowly starts to ramp down. If you're going to have something to drink, I didn't do milk, but I did try water, and the water honestly didn't help that much. Scientifically, it's not supposed to work to quell the sensation of pain because all it does is spread the capsaicin (pepper extract) farther into your mouth and esophagus. If water is all you have though, make it ICE COLD. Cold beverages are better than lukewarm, because it'll actually make it feel less hot in your mouth. I don't know if it would help others, but I had a Dunkin Donuts iced coffee next to me when I did the challenge, and it surprisingly worked way better to ease the pain than the water??? It might be because of the high amount of cream, sugar, and ice in it, but hey, if it worked for me, it might work for someone else! Just sip on it constantly in the recovery period, and it'll genuinely feel like the pain is going away. As for whether or not this will make your stomach hurt and run to the bathroom, that didn't happen to me and I was totally fine after about 30 minutes, but again, all I took is a tiny drop, so if you're going to coat a chicken wing with this stuff, yeah, you'll probably wanna make sure you're near a bathroom. I can't imagine it's good for your internal organs to have more than a drop of this at a time. It even says on the bottle: "Consume one drop at a time with extreme caution!" You better heed that warning wholeheartedly. They ain't jokin' around. Sean Evans, I tip my hat to you, sir, for being obligated to do this hundreds of times. I'm unsure how you still have tastebuds after eating whole wings covered in this blasphemous substance, but I applaud you for doing it and taking it like a champ. Hot Ones fan forever!

This is hot and tasty, but it is not scary hot to me like Dave's Gourmet Carolina Reaper hot sauce. That is insanely hot compared to this, but I actually like putting Da Bomb Beyond Insanity Hot Sauce on food or a bit in my mouth compared to Dave's Reaper hot sauce.

Da Bomb. You have to try it because you watch celebrities suffer on Hot Ones. Season after season, it takes down pretty much everyone. It's what made Gordon Ramsay lose his mind and chug Pepto Bismol. It's what made Mark Rober give up on science. It barely had any effect on Alton Brown, but he was smart enough to bring half-and-half to the table. Da beginning Yes, It's hot. It's the hottest thing I've ever tasted. The initial flavor is actually not as bad as described. I fully coated a boneless chicken wing with it --- about ten drops ---, which I ate with a fork; you don't want to touch this stuff with your fingers unless you've always wanted to know what it's like to be pepper sprayed while your mouth is torched with hellfire. Da Burn After about a quarter second of mildly pleasant smoky pepper flavors, you start to realize what you're about to go through. The burn keeps intensifying and doesn't stop. Water just makes it temporarily subside, but it actually feels worse after you've swallowed. I waited for about five minutes before having water, and then lasted another three minutes before quickly grilling some cheese. (just cheese) and that helped get my mouth to stop being a living embodiment of Dante's worst nightmare. There was a little bit of coughing, but the worst was over in about ten minutes with that technique. Alton definitely has the right idea with half-and-half. Da Second Burn You then feel it slowly impact your stomach lining. At this point, you know that you've made a terrible error of judgment, but the experiment continues. Da Third Burn I'm sure more exciting stuff will happen as it passes through my small intestine and colon, and it's not something that should be discussed at meals. Or any time really. Da Conclusion It's not a particularly tasty hot sauce; it would be great if there was more interesting stuff to offset the burn. I suspect that a _small_ amount of this would add a nice zip to various dishes, but you can definitely get better flavored sauces. That being said, because you use so little of this, it will go a long way. A very long way. Look, if watching YouTubers cry isn't enough to stop you from getting this, then nothing will. Just keep something handy that contains lots of oil ready to help rid your mouth of the capsaicin extract that powers it. (they refer to it as "natural pepper extract" on the label) Whether that's whipped cream, fried cheese, butter coffee, or Alton Brown's choice of Half-and-half, be ready. Update: When not taken straight, it adds a great burn with a smoky flavor to foods with very tiny quantities. The chemical ash flavor really dissipates and I'm getting kind of addicted. There really is a lot of value in this sauce beyond just novelty. (or perhaps this is just a form of hot sauce Stockholm syndrome...)

This is as hot as they say on the show!

Obviously if you're reading this, you are most likely considering purchasing Da Bomb so you can experience the "joy" of the Hot Ones experience. On the show, this sauce always brings people to their knees and elicits lots of complaints. If I recall correctly, Alton Brown threw the bottle into a waste bin (or he "binned it" for you UK folks). When Sean asks people "how are you with spicy food?" most of the interviewees are fairly modest (usually a sign of someone who can handle heat), but as many have pointed out, it belies just how viscous Da Bomb actually is. Part of this problem is that the Scoville scale isn't exact. Per Wikipedia "Decreasing concentrations of the extracted capsaicinoids are given to a panel of five trained tasters, until a majority (at least three) can no longer detect the heat in a dilution." So all of these numbers are relative. I've had three versions of the Last Dab, Blair's 357, and countless others over the years from the "upper end" of the sauces on Hot Ones. Da Bomb is easily, handily, much hotter. Part of this might be due to the fact that the capsaicin in Da Bomb doesn't come from peppers, directly. It is instead from pepper extract. E.g. instead of simply chopping up some chilis and throwing them into the sauce, the real heat comes from the extract. Flavor wise, Da Bomb is initially almost pleasant. Mild, but smokey. If that flavor was stronger, and it wasn't face meltingly hot, Da Bomb might be a daily driver for some meals. However, the flavor is rather mild and the heat obliterates it anyway. This is not a sauce that is both "hot" and "tasty." This is a sauce that will humble you. When I first tried Da Bomb, I was a wee bit cocky. I'd had plenty of sauces ostensibly hotter (higher Scoville ratings), eat "Thai hot" curry at Thai owned restaurants where the employees try to talk you out of it, and so on and so forth. This is really the product of ratcheting up my tolerance over decades, always chasing that dragon of perfect heat and perfect flavor. Less to say "I am so tough" or any other such nonsense, and more to say "I thought I knew what I was doing." I put a pea sized dot on some pizza crust and let it linger for a few minutes. Sure, I felt the heat, and it was certainly spicier than the Last Dab iterations in my cupboard (or what remain... the Last Dab is enjoyable on its own merits so I actually use it often). This led to an error in judgement. I proceeded to slather a slice of pizza in the stuff. Oh... my... I've never been maced (thought it might happen at a peaceful protest, thankfully not), but I can only imagine what this level of heat feels like in your eyes or nose. Again, it takes a beat for the heat to really come to you. I managed to finish the small slice of a hand tossed pizza (e.g. not a huge slice) before Da Bomb "dropped." The first dab was bad, but tolerable. This was... a mistake. I stuck my tongue in Greek Yogurt, I tried Almond Milk, nothing seemed to cause the heat to abate. Instead, I spent a good 20 minutes pacing back and forth, doing push ups, and jumping in place, much to my dinner companion's amusement. This is a "stuntin sauce," not a flavor sauce. Do not buy Da Bomb or any of its incarnations thinking that you're going to enjoy it in a traditional manner. There are hotter sauces out there, even hotter incarnations of Da Bomb, but Da Bomb is so widely known and "spice lords" can be so cavalier. Buy Da Bomb. Impress your friends. Feel the pain. It is certainly an experience.

this is 135,000 scoville. While my wife has chastised me about endangering my intestines to the insanity of the hest in this hot sauce, i often brave the experience for a few laughs in my attempts to reenact seasons of hot ones during discount wing night. She just shakes her head and continues to watch her shows whenever i mix this in to my wings and brave the waves of the hotter than hot sauce. Yes, you might consider the tubby bottle, thick viscous fluid and generic store brand bottle and not think anything of it. I tell you, this is hot. It hurts. The best experience I can explain eating this hot sauce is a fever dream. You brave through the insane burn of a flavorful spice that fills your mouth with pain. One wing goes down after a drop of the stuff and you brave it, this sauce stings, but, its good. Real good. Then you try another and the sauce physically hurts you. After the 4th wing I'm sweating, its like an acid turning my well meaning saliva into lava as it coats my mouth and opens my nasal cavities as it washes down. I chug almond milk to cut down the heat and you assume its over. Then, at 1am, the sauce strikes again. Yes, at 1am, I felt this heavy lump of firey coal in my intestines. This is a heat that sears like an iron rod set ablaze and pushed into your stomach. It woke me out of a deep slumber to send me to the toilet in a hurry. You can't, cry from the pain and if you're weak constitution will not hold up, then you will have to weather the storm. I took a runners pose in between the bathroom carpet, filthy with my dogs hairs and got a good look at debries that reminded me I need to take it to the cleaners or replace it. I thanked my landlords for the tile floor that balanced out the heat of the old shower rug and the cool of the floor. The pain rustled around my gut like a M16 bullet spiraling about until finally -- I woke up 30 minutes later. Yes, 135,000 scoville in a small dollop is fine. If you have a weakness to spice, think the spiciest Buffalo wild wings or the hottest wings from wingstop. Those spices, that heat will punish you, but leave space in your tastes buds to travel on. They will make you sweat, pressure you into some brief submission, but there is a light at the end of tne tunnel, a finish line allowing you solace after braving the atomic winds of their mixture. Da Bomb does not. It sets your moutb ablaze like an angry God sending a fury of thunder and pain through your taste buds. It forges through like a wild untamed horse as you grip the reigns and hold on for dear life until finally bucking you into a ravine, losing strength, discarding you or simply losing interest. Then, when youre at rest, praying for the end, settled and calm, possibly having forgotten about the strike of insanity. It rips the sheets off of your bed and hurls you around in a fury once more, double flushes the toilet and punches a hole in the wall then leaves.

If you watch Hot Ones this is everything you expect it to be. I’m a bartender so I brought it to work for me and my other bartender who is also a Hot Ones fan to try. I walked in with it in my hand along with my coffee and water. Some bar guests immediately recognized it and then half the bar and kitchen staff wanted to try it. Worst 25 minutes of my life. There is no redeeming quality about this, no flavor, just pure pain for 20-30 minutes. I wouldn’t even let our closing manager try it until after he did the money, paperwork, and deposits for the night. He didn’t understand why at first. Once he tried it he said “I completely get why you had me wait, I would not have been able to think and do what I needed to do”. Our bar manager also came in at one point and I had him try the last dab which is NOTHING compared to this. Then he tried Da Bomb….I thought he had left since it had been a good 10 minutes since I saw him. I found him sitting on the ground in office with a drink and a slice of bread. His words were “that ruined my life”. If you want to experience what everyone does on the show I absolutely recommend you getting it. It lives up to the hype. I also recommend having a piece of bread on hand. I went back and forth between letting milk just sit in my mouth to then just letting a piece of bread sit in my mouth. The bread REALLY helps. Apparently it absorbs a lot of the capsaicin. Water will not help. Only makes it worse. It just spreads the heat around. Good luck!
