There is a new "sheriff" in town hotter than the Reaper

Guy I used to work with was a hot sauce fanatic, he used it on everything. One day at lunch time, he was dribbling his cheese burger with his hot sauce saying this wasnt too hot. I asked for a taste, just a drop and he told me it was 675K Scoville units and to be careful. I took one little drop, less then a drop and put it on my tongue. Within a second I was heading to the bathroom and shoved my face under the faucet sucking water. That didn't help so I started licking the concrete wall hoping to scrape it off and that didn't work. Feeling frantic, I considered sticking my head into the commode and flushing but ran back into the lunch room asking for help. He told me to use sugar to neutralize the heat and thats how they measure how hot something is, by how much sugar it takes to kill it. At a run I headed to the showroom where they had a coffee maker. I must have been a sight as I burst into the showroom and started slugging down the sugar container. But , It worked. 10 years later nothing hotter then a smoked Jalapeno without seeds or membrane will pass by these lips. There is something wrong with you hot sauce addicts.

I'm with you, though.
 
Is the 1.2M-2M the rating for those peppers? Or are you saying that’s what the sauce Tabasco Scorpion sauce is?

I ask because I went to look for it online today and the sauce shows 35,000.

for anybody that cares:

Tabasco Sweet & Spicy: 100-300
Tabasco Buffalo Style: 300-900
Tabasco Green Jalapeño: 600-1200
Tabasco Cayenne Garlic: 1200-2400
Tabasco Chipotle Pepper: 1500-2500
Tabasco Sriracha: 1000-3000
Tabasco Original Red: 2500-5000
Tabasco Habanero Pepper: >7000
Tabasco Scorpion: 35,000

(data from Tabasco.com)

I hope someone actually gets into some Scorpions after thinking their GTG since they can handle Tobasco Scorpion.

The African peri peri peppers can be pretty sporting & make a heavenly hot sauce/paste. Lovely with with roasted goat & a dab of hummus.

I dig peppers 'cos I enjoy the heat & flavor & the endorphin rush with the heavies. I'm an adventurous eater & a reckless asshole, so I'm not exactly prone to caring what folks think about my enjoyment of spicy food.
