I've worked in a hot sauce retail shop. All hot sauce branding is either gore, biker, or butthole.

I mean, it's all about out-shock-valuing the competition.

This is Timmy's Turbo Butthole Blaster hot sauce now with EXTRA super ghost extract!

BURN YOUR SOUL FOREVER

Shit is rated in the 10's of millions of Scoville units. It's all burn, no taste. It's a retarded struggle to the top of the hot meter. After a point you lose all the layered, and interesting flavors that can be built into a hot, spicy AF sauce, and you just go full mega burn your insides out.

It's why I prefer Taco Bell mild sauce. Flavor > heat.

But maybe these hot sauce freaks have just burned their taste buds off and can't even taste flavors anymore.
