Thats it! Im separating you guys!
I can understand EVERYONE'S view on this. I think anyone that tries any amount larger than the "toothpick" deal is a flippin' idiot. I CAN say that this hot sauce did, in fact, have a warning. Word for word, here is what it said... "WARNING: Use with extreme caution. Keep away from pets & small children. Avoid contact with eyes & sensitive body parts. Wash hands thoroughly after use." It doesnt say anywhere on the bottle "WARNING: You're a damn IDIOT if you try this! DO NOT EAT MORE THAN "x" amount of this. This is to be used as such..." So, could they have labeled it a little better? Yes. Did I have to be such a damn idiot? No. Did I do it to be "macho," or "prove Ive been there, done that?" Nope. I can now say that, true. But I can ALSO say that I am a HUGE idiot for doing this, PERIOD. My only reason for wanting to do hot sauces on video was just that...I wanted to try hot sauces on video. I dont want to be cool, blah blah blah. I dont give a DAMN what people think of me.
Plain and simple, everyone....I was an f'ing IDIOT to do what I did last night, and ANYONE else would be if they did the same, EVER.
Will I stop eating sauces? Probably not. I would LOVE to try ones with absolutely NO extract at all. The wings that I ate at Quaker Steak and Lube the other day were AWESOME! They had a honey/sugar kinda taste that, to ME, made them completely tolerable. By far the best tasting "hot" wings I have ever had.
I kinda aggree with NJA. (Just not so whole-heartedly!) If it warns you not to do it, then you deserve what you get. But I DO believe that any hot sauce with an extract, BY LAW, should have some sort of waiver to sign, special warning, etc. That way it takes all liability away from everyone involved, except for the consumer. With something like a wing eating contest, you can take a first bite, and not eat any more after that if you dont want. But when you eat a half a teasoon of the shit, and swallow, hell will be brought upon you!
I think that NJA was also just using you, DEFCON, as an example. I have been taken the wrong way before. I dont want to see anybody mad at anybody on here, ya know? Im sure he meant well. He is just adamant about what he believes in, and you happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time! lol. So NJA, DEFCON, POTAWIE, you guys hug. If you dont, I will make ya'll touch noses for 5 minutes.
