I triple-dog dare you, Peter, to put a gallon of hot sauce on a single taco.

Dave’s Suicide Sauce?

When eating those ‘Mexican Candy’ jalapeños, and meeting one that’s hotter than forecast, pouring a packet of sugar onto the tongue does seem to work for me.

I’ve heard that using vodka like a mouthwash helps to remove the capsaicin from your mouth.

Terrible waste of vodka.

In the movie “Fireproof”, the fire captain challenges one of his men, who is constantly bragging about what a “man” he is, to drink an entire bottle of hot sauce. The captain went first, downed it with little problem, then the other guy went. He just about exploded from the heat. He found out later that the captain had filled HIS bottle with plain tomato juice!

@nab: hot climate = hotter peppers. Found that out growing them in Texas vs. the Midwest

Milk doesn’t work either. Try bread (take it from a Mexican who’s had his share of hot sauce near-death experiences).

The burn going down is bad. The burn coming out can be worse.

The only item I put Tabasco in is a Bloody Mary….And, I make mine with V8 instead of tomato juice!

root beer works too

I totally don’t understand why people put stuff on food to make it “hot” and impossible to savor the taste – unless it’s food you wouldn’t eat otherwise.

Even I’m not that crazy when it comes to putting hot sauce on my tacos.

Or bread.

Reminds me of a time with friends when we went out for Sanchos. One guy ordered his “Extra Hot”. If you know what a Sancho is, the sauce sort of filters down to the bottom and pools there, just w a i t i n g… He was doing just fine until he got to the last couple of bites. He appeared to be — crying(among other things). He made us stop at the first store we saw and he bought a six-pack of soda, which he drank completely up.

Why would anyone put Tobasco sauce on a taco????

The tears of a clown indeed. I couldn’t help but think of this song:

I could just imagine Roger sitting there pouring two bottles of hot sauce on his taco and simply saying “amateur”.
