Ok folks, this is not a joke. I am a real fan of hot sauce, hot peppers and anything that makes my eyes water, and I have to honestly say that Dave's Insanity Sauce is absolutely the hottest thing I've ever tasted. I use one drop in about 25 ounces of home-made tomato sauce and it makes the sauce noticibly hot. This is NOT a sauce to dash into your soup or to liven up some salsa. DON'T USE IT LIKE TABASCO!!! It is a heavy-duty hot sauce that should be used as in ingredient when cooking a decent amount of a dish. My brother doubted its powers so I poked the end of a toothpick into the sauce and gave it to him. The poor guy freaked and ate more Italian bread than I've ever seen anyone eat in my life. This bottle will last you a long time. Why doesn't it get 5 stars? It's just too hot.

Come on, read the label. One of the manufacturer's suggested uses is removal of driveway oil stains.

For the last five years or so, I have always had a bottle of this sauce on hand specifically for those friends who swear nothing is ever too hot. The ultimate gratification comes from watching as they disregard any admonishments that direct consumption of any amount greater than a swab on a toothpick is too much. It is particularly helpful to quiet those who cannot refrain from talking over movies or provide undesired running commentary during sports events. Invariably, for next hour their only objective is to regain the ability to breathe normally. The only downside is this ploy only works once.

I like to mix about an 1/8 of a teaspoon with two ounces of regular hot sauce for buffalo wings, or add a dab to any taco sauce, however care is required because you can easily reach a point of diminishing returns as the unavoidable numbing of one's tastebuds makes enjoyment of the food impossible.

Even Shakespeare did not have enough of a grasp of the English language to describe how hot this sauce it. It is mind blowing. I put a few good dashes on some BBQ I have eating. I was able to shovel in 3 healthy forkfuls into my mouth before the heat hit. Pow. I was knocked out. All I could do was grab on to the table to brace myself and breath through my mouth.

I ate all the bread I could find. I wiped out every square inch of my mouth with a napkin. All in an attempt to ease the heat. It helped only a bit.

After about 2 hours, I was almost back to normal.

It is that hot. I would think that only 1 drop would heat up a pot of chili. DO NOT try this straight from the bottle. It won't kill you, but is will wound you. Wow.

I have used only two bottles of this sauce over a period of years. I enjoy hot sauce on my food but this one can only be used on large quantities. I use it mostly with chili. One small drop,not dash,in a big bowl will have tears flowing from your eyes! If you like it hot! This is the sauce for you.

Please read the warnings!! This is NOT stuff to fool with!! Feed it to your pet or unknowing kids and I will hunt you down.

Its great if you mix a few drops with your pasta or in your burrito just to get a kick. Do not attempt to pour directly and eat -- can cause some pain. Be advised. Don't be a jackass.

I have used Dave's insane sauce in my favorite recipes for the past ten years and I would highly recommend it. Be warned, this sauce is too hot for use at the table and is best applied sparingly during the food preparation process.

It's extremely hot hot sauce, but will not impress foodies concerned more with flavor than heat. Product got 5 stars because it is exactly what I thought it would be. A bonus is that it does not cover up the flavor of the food you are eating, just adds intense amounts of heat to it. 1 drop to start with, go up from there, you DO NOT want to use this product like Tabasco, you will regret it.

Also, If the heat is too intense, do not use milk like you would for a regular hot sauce, it just washes the pain around the inside of your mouth, use something sugary like koolaid. This flies in the face of all that makes sense, but it worked for me when a little too much found its way on to a pizza.

i normally slice habaneros and add them to my food when i want something supremely spicy. i am an indian girl after all and can handle anything you throw at me in the spice dept.
this was just as hot as habaneros and so much better than having to slice the habaneros and then worry about touching something and screaming from pain(ie taking my contacts out......)
delicious sauce that delivers the HEAT!!!

My husband is such a fan of hot sauces, I can't believe he even has any tastebuds left. However, this is his favorite hot sauce. People are always bringing him hot sauces from their travels, or giving him unusual ones they run across. This remains his favorite. His gasping, eye-watering, favorite! The warnings are real...do use with caution...even from picking up the (apparently clean and dry) bottle to put it back in the fridge, I've touched my lips later and noticed a burning sensation.
