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 definitely an extremely hot sauce. I first tried pouring out just a dot and giving it a taste. The heat was a lot, but certainly not the hottest I've ever tried. Maybe on par with as hot as I like to order my curry at my local indian restaurant. Still, to get such a huge reaction from like half a drop is pretty impressive. I tried adding just a drop to some soup and it made it noticeably hotter, a drop is really all you need. In that sense this sauce is a great value if you just want to add heat to your dishes. Any more than a few small drops will probably be too much for any dish. The heat stayed fairly strong for probably 20-30 minutes and lasted in total for maybe like an hour to an hour and a half. The flavor is not that great, I'm not personally a fan of the pepper selection but I had to taste the legendary heat. That said, to me the flavor isn't a huge deal given you need such a small amount to add a lot of heat. I didn't throw up or lose my mind, the key is knowing what you're dealing with. Don't be an idiot, do not try to down a tablespoon or even a teaspoon of this stuff. If you're eating it plain I would be careful with even a drop, maybe half a drop is good to try it out. If you use it right and you're careful it's a pretty nice sauce.

This is not a hot sauce that you will be happy with flavorwise and want to substitute on taco night or anything like that. It tastes pretty aweful...and then the heat sets in and just holds on for what feels like forever. I have eaten with hot wings just to do it with the family and it really burns even if you don't eat the whole wing. I can't compare it to any other sauce how it just burns, but it just burns. I have also used it for jerkey just for those guys who think they like hot jerkey and again it doesn't give the best flavor, but the smoke helps. I usually cut off a small piece like half the size of a penny when offereing it and that is typically more than anyone is interested in trying. I have also used it to spice up home mede BBQ sauce, it actually works ok for this, but you have to be careful how much you put in, it gets hot quick, but the other ingredints in the BBQ mask the flavor. If you're thinking of getting it to do a hot ones challenge its worth the experince. If you're looking for a good tasting sauce to use regularly, I'd say go with something else.

HOT! can you take it

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.

Saw this on Hot Ones and gave it a shot. Quickly became a go-to for certain dishes. Be advised that it's a concentrated extract and waaaaaay, waaaaaay too hot to use as a wing sauce or a marinade. Sweet spot for this stuff is for Chili and Soup when you want to kick the heat of the whole dish into afterburner mode without dumping an entire bottle of sauce or ground ghost pepper into it. For you golfers, think of it as the sand wedge in your bag. You might not use ot often, but it's darn handy when you do need to. Enjoy in moderation and always have a bottle on your shelf. Trust me.

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...)
