Sell out! With me tonight
I wonder if he had a cooling palette cleanser between tasting. I find hot sauce lingers in my palette. By the third tasting, I can no longer trust my palette.
However I'm also sure these are all above my comfort level.
Unique Garlique I find very similar to El Yucateco's XXXtra Hot. Thought I'd give it a try and it reminds me of that. Maybe with a little longer lingering spice.
Why don't you shorten the time those little info snippets appear even more! So we can only read only two words instead of five! And try to read them faster whilst listening at the same time!
I love the Gator Sauce – a bottle lasts a long time! And when only residue remains, I just add a bit of vinegar to the bottle to extend it even longer.
Mean Green is the best one for me.
Gotta love when he calls BS on the SHU listed on bottle. Class act.
Thanks for the new video!!! 😊
I personally can't eat a hotsauce without salt in it. Whether is be through mash or added salt.
We need this guy on Hot Ones.
You should not let him do his own sauces in these, its hard to believe this more than an advertisement.
Boy everyone is sure buying the Kool Aid these days… To each their own I guess…
Ed is a walking encyclopedia on hot sauce when he talks people listen
Ed is a dumb dumb
Here for Ed!
His reaction to the last dab made me gain some respect for all the guests on hot ones
I came here to watch flatline. 👎🏼
every "review video" he makes for epicurious is just a shameless self-ad for his own hot sauces
You need Bill Murray on there to test all of them
I was at Ed's shop in Fort Mill, SC about five years ago and took a full eye dropper of the chemical sauce. I doubt it was Flatline–probably before they made that. It was about 4-5M Scoville if I recall. Anyway, the pain on the tongue was pretty strong, but the real pain hit about 2 hours later in the intestines. I was visiting a friend I hadn't seen in about 30 years and I'm sure he was wondering what was up. No flavor at all–just heat.
I respect Tommy for trying it lol that's a sauce that you can use in so many recipes. Me personally I don't think Apollo pepper is worth a hospital visit
Love when Ed's on, love seeing his pepper sauce takes.
Ed and I have a question that I need answered, why is it, the scorpion pepper gives me almost anaphylaxis shock symptoms compared to hotter chillies? I've eaten carolina reapears etc, but as soon as I have anything with a scorpion in it, my face swells, I can hardly breathe, my eyes nearly swell shut. Is there an ingredient in the chilly that produces that effect? I've noticed the deep dark red color is what affects me. Thank you.
Talks about the SHU of sauces and the dilution factor.. yet The Last Dab is always listed at +1million SHU
The Gator is an epic sauce to me, I find it to be my go-to. I like the flavor better than the Reaper Squeezin's. Uniquely Garlic is also an amazing sauce I use pretty regularly.
Take care about those golden Teath mate, the belly it's on the point
How can you not put these puckerbutt sauces on your tacos…your fish..your bbq..gator meat..soups..chicken..
everything really
Did anyone else start salivating when they watched this?
Title pretty misleading – "11 of the hottest sauces" when some aren't even hot. Of course many are his own sauces but overall its just another tasting video.
Dude his face does not match his body type. It literally looks like someone made him in character creator.
I love all of Ed's appearances.
I see any video with Ed Currie… I watch
I sampled the End Flatline, I was given it on a toothpick, nothing special.
Can't believe anybody still gives credibility to this fraud.
4:17 it like looks like blood..
11:03 chocolate ice cream why?
This test should be conducted blindfolded to ensure unbiased results.
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
🤔 looking or a new wing sauce, will check out some of these
HOTTEST sauces? 🧢 Mad Dog gold and Exhorresco put ALL these sauces to shame in terms of heat level (I don't consider Flatline a sauce)
Only Ed would say "Scorpion peppers are not that hot!" 🤣❤
Your can't smell salty. I've watched a few videos with him back to back, and I'm beginning to think this guy is a moron.
I fear the sauce that makes ed currie cough…..
