  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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)

  11. 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.
