Holy Jolokia!

A few years ago, Dr. Paul Bosland of NMSU discovered the world's hottest chile pepper. At 1,000,000 Scoville Heat Units, it's twice as hot as the former hottest chile--the Red Savina. Now CAJohns has bottled it a sauce called Holy Jolokia.

As the site doesn't say how many Scoville units the bottled sauce is the only thing I can say about Holy Jolokia is--Holy Moley! Look forward to hearing from some guinea pig if he/she survives the experience.

Me too. Gonna do it Larry? Come on, we don't call you Resident Chilehead for nothing...don't make us take it back.

According to the mfr, Holy Jolokia sauce has been tamed so the consumer can taste the pepper. At $10/bottle, I probably won't buy it. But I might get one as a free sample.

I already have the world's hottest hot sauce: The Source by Original Juan. Almost $100/oz. 7.1 million Scovilles.

I think that's beyond even my willingness to try!

So what on earth do you do or are planning to do with a substance that should be handled with a Waldo in a vacuum chamber while dressed in a Hazmat suit? I have a bottle of Dave's Insanity at a mere million or so Scoville units and haven't a clue what to do with it and LOL can't think of anybody I hate enough to spike their grub with it!

Seriously speaking, what's the point of it apart from claiming the gold medal in a pissing contest. I assume you or whomever bought it had to sign a waiver absolving the company from any responsibility for injuries.

No, I didn't have to sign a waiver, although I did once when I tried Dave's Insanity Atomic Blast at the Fiery Foods Festival. And what's the point of The Source? Surely you've heard of people collecting hot sauces. My bottle is a collectible, sitting in its display box, unopened. If I want to have some fun with superhot sauces, I haul out Dave's Insanity Sauce (over the years, I've gone through 2 or 3 bottles--usually for making pickled eggs).

BTW, I discovered The Source is no longer the world's hottest. For capsaicin lovers and collectors, take a look at the neat stuff available: http://www.chez-williams.com/Hot%20Sauce/hothome.htm
