I finally got my hands on a bottle of this stuff (Dave’s Gourmet Scorpion Pepper Sauce). This is the pepper that bumped India’s “Ghost Pepper” off its pedestal. The Trinidad Scorpion Peppers ranks at 1,463,700 Scoville Heat Units [SHU] (Ghost Pepper ranks at or just slightly above 1,000,000). Sauces are always a watered down extract when it comes ot peppers, but this one is nowhere near tame. Even in it’s sauce form, this bottle ranks at 1,041,427 SHU (source).
As a comparison, jalapenos rank at 2,500–10,000 SHU and Habanero at about 350,000 SHU. So the Scorpion Pepper sauce is no challenge for weak minds.
So this sauce is about as effective as biting into a raw ghost pepper! Who wants to give it a try?
If you have what it takes, post a youtube video of yourself trying it below in the comments. I am going to take a stab at saying no one is going to do it. Still worth throwing the challenge out there!
You can find it on Amazon or a select few stores (Cost Plus World Market is where I found mine)
A challenger….he said what came the following day kicked his arse…
