Thanks for all the input.
I am one of the few people who seems to enjoy Da Bomb Ground Zero flavor and heat (haven't tried the others but wow is GZ hooot and it doesn't let go for quite a while!). I think it's the molasses and pineapple juice, it's a little different, but I think it tastes good. I am also quite partial to all of Melinda's hot sauces and not a fan of Daves' stuff so it's not that I have a more refined palette than everyone else 
Side question...did Da Bomb change the name of their hottest sauce Da Final Answer from an older, potentially offensive similar name? I swear it used to be called Da Final Solution, talking 20 years ago, but trying to dig that far back on the internet isn't easy especially with how terrible every search engine is these days.

Thanks a bunch!
If you like them great! One of my old faves was Blair's Jersey Death! And yes, I liked the flavor!
Oh man, I forgot about Blair's lol. I haven't had Jersey Death, only After Death, don't think I cared for that one too much. Doesn't appear they still make the Jersey Death. I still have the skull keychain.
Burns & McCoy (locally made about 60 miles north of me), makes a hot sauce called Exhorresco with 7 Pot Primos (you've probably heard of it) that quickly became my favorite. Seeing people say it's not that hot makes me wonder, it tests quite high especially for a non-extract, but I've learned to take 90% of what I read online with a huge grain of salt. People are full of
more often than not ime. That reminds me I ran out and need to get more...with that said I find GZ to be far more of an intense, painful heat even though it's about half the SHU.

I see any version of extract in the hot sauce label, it's a 100% no buy from me.
Extract hot sauces no thank you.
Too hot, tastes bad.
Plenty of natural hot sauces out there with great flavors & heat to consume then waste my money on any hot sauce that has extract in it. Yes I do look & if it has extract (anyway worded) I do not buy !

My only real experience with extracts is the sauce that comes with the Buldaak hot chicken ramen noodles and it tastes very bitter and artificial to me. Not a big fan of that, just doesn’t taste normal.
Hammer town, does the sauce come in a side dish? Do you know what the brand is? Just curious, I am not familiar with Buldaak hot chicken ramen
I’m out of them right now but was holding onto a wet packet in the fridge and forgot about it. I just threw it out. If you search “Korean fire noodles” you’ll come across them. The noodles themselves, being Korean, are awesome but the sauce is artificial tasting to me. Using the full pouch of sauce in the noodles is quite hot. They have several other versions as well as a 2X heat version. My favourite was one that has lime and habanero in it. The Walmarts and grocery stores around here carry them but they’re getting kinda pricey.
The wet packet with the heat.
Salsalady, since I was out of stock I bought a package tonight. Ingredients include “chili oleoresin and paprika oleoresin”. I think that’s where I get the artificial bitterness from.
The 2X version was banned in the UK for being “dangerously hot”
. They later rescinded the ban, but have left a ban on the newer 3X version. It’s stupid, people who want to will just combine the wet bag from 2 packs for higher heat. The oleoresin results in a lot of lip burn because it’s impossible to eat the noodles without getting them on the lips.
