you know I've given some thought about when people say a hot sauce is not that hot.
well I've heard plenty from people on this forum, say they would never fool a person about eating a really hot chile or deceive them about how hot the chile is. or plain ol' trick them.
however you want to word it, still the same.
but yet people have no problem saying a hot sauce is not hot, again to them thats basing the hotness on extract sauces. even though the sauce is hot for some other people.
I consider this example the same as deceiving another person about the hotness of a sauce, just like some of you said you'd never deceive a person about the hotness of a chile.
example would be wordwiz, he likes chiles just not really hot ones, & say if he sees people saying a certain hot sauce is not hot (but its being compared & judged against extract sauce) he may think, ok I'll go & get that hot sauce & I'll like it but only to findout its way to hot for him. & then hes mad.
I'd think if you're saying a hot sauce is not hot & you consume extract sauces, you'd at least make note you're kinda comparing that to a extract sauce.
just like if your friend likes jalapenos for heat but nothing hotter, & then you say here eat these caribbean red habs they're not that hot (because you eat nagas/bhuts)
