They just said that 10,000,000 scoville unit sauce will strip paint. It was on the " meat and potato" show, and it wasn't just someone said it they had it in text as if it was factual.

I saw that. I think they are lying. But that was some damn hot looking sauce!
Ya know not wanting to be a smart ass here but water will strip paint in a high power pressure hose
With the Naga Viper, the media loved to use the 'strip paint' headline. Whether it was just for emphasis, or they actually believed it, I am not sure.
Capsaicin won't strip paint <<< Link
To sum up the article, Capsaicin does not have the chemical properties to strip paint. What we experience is our immune system's reaction to the chemical, and not any real burn. Therefore, Capsaicin can not strip paint.

I have no doubt it was very hot but I dont think the math was correct. They just added the scoville values i would think it would me more of a ratio, similar to added percentages if that makes sense.
I didn't think so capsaicin irritates the nerve ends which causes the burning sensation and explains why people build up a tolerance to the burn.
And those the make sauces would love it if capsaicin have a measurable acidic value, because it would save headaches adjusting the ph to a acidic safe range.
Water under pressure is amazing - it was used at Chernobyl to "grind" concrete away.
Add some nice sauce, and the possibilities are endless
On the serious side, as an ex-journalist, you need to catch the reader/viewer with something, and the "X will strip paint" angle is as good as any.
