This is the stuff hallucinogens bow before. The warning states that it's not for anyone with poor heart conditions, high blood pressure, or contemplating pregnancy, ever. And it means it.

One drop of this sauce in anything will have your eyes watering and your stomach curdling. Why it's in a bottle this big I'll never know, but this stuff is the real deal. I was foolish enough to have three drops in a shot of vodka one fateful night many moons ago, and I still tremble at the memory.

I can't rate it high enough, so five stars will have to do.

This is like hot sauce concentrate. You MUST dilute it to use it. Do not try to eat this stuff straight or you will be miserable for hours, and then some. Lets just say it burns both ways. A teaspoon in an entire crock of chili will make the chili hot enough to be near inedible, and I like very hot and spicy foods. Five or six drops is probably more than enough for an entire dish. Tabasco isn't even comparable to this, because no amount of tabasco would make a dish that hot. This is truly the hotest sauce I have ever had, I think it killed my tastebuds (slight sarcasm).

Wash your hands thoroughly after use as there will often be residue on the lid. If you rub your eyes they will burn for a long time, and I would suggest flushing them with water for about 10 minutes if you have the unfortunate experience.

The first listed ingredient is habaneros.

This hot sauce is serious stuff. I gave it to my dad for his birthday. He tasted a whole spoonful (how stupid) because he thought the bottle was lying, but then he got a surprise that caused him to have to wash out his mouth. It brought tears to his eyes. Dare and beware!

Hottest Sauce in the Universe: no brag, just fact. I find that a single drop of Dave's Ultimate Insanity is more than equivalent to TEN drops of Tabasco. Why not five stars? While this sauce gives new meaning to the term extreme heat, I find the taste of Tabasco more pleasant. Ultimate Insanity adds a hint of a smokey/burnt flavor, which I assume is due to the roasted peppers. Try it for yourself..this the most heat you can get without notifying the Fire Marshall!

If you're a real spicy food lover, Thai/Indian/Korean/Schezuan, then this is perfect for spicing up your American foods. It's all about matching sauces to foods and the flavor of this sauce perfectly compliments non-spicy staples such as pizza, burgers, and hot dogs.

Here's the breakdown in scovilles:

Tobasco Sauce = 2500 to 5000 depending on the batch.
Normal Jalapeno Pepper = 2500 to 5000
Cholula = 3600
Tobasco Habanero Sauce = 8000 to 9000
Dave's Insanity Sauce = 180,000
Dave's Ultimate Insanity Sauce = 250,000 (This is the one you're looking at)

Hopefully the list above will help any newcomers decide whether or not this is for you.If you're new to the boutique hot sauce world then I'd suggest going for the regular Insanity Sauce first.

And never forget for any new hot sauce, "ONE DROP AT A TIME!!!!"

Do not underestimate this hot sauce. Too much of this hot sauce will have you suffering for hours. It has a nice taste to it, but most of the time you can't get enough of it to taste it because even the smallest drop is hot. A dab can warm up any bowl of chili or soup.

Ok, I just tried this stuff today. Had a couple drops on a cracker...it burned for a while, but subsided. So, I decided to go for a spoonful. It definitely burned...probably for a good 15 minutes or so. It was plenty hot. I felt alright about it...my eyes got a little watery, and I did need a 8 oz glass of milk to wash it down, but it wasn't unbearable by my standards (my two friends, who also tried the spoonful, would differ on that point, though!)

The only concern that one may have is that it definitely burns both ways, so keep that in mind. Don't try to use this stuff like Tobasco...just use a couple drops. I would highly recommend trying dipping a toothpick in it and tasting it first so you know your limits.

This stuff is super hot. Great additive to any sauce to bring it up a notch, but beware...two drops may be all you need.

The taste is divine, with a subtle hint of flowers and a not so subtle taste of the heat you would get over the burning sulphur mines of hell. I added this to a version of dirty rice, and the kick it gave the dish was quite potent, it cured my suspected flu, mild impotence and also made me loose 40lbs of just pure sweat. However, the following day, let me quote the late and great Johnny Cash "And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire, the ring of fire." I would as a precaution, about, or slightly before you plan to use this, place one or two rolls of toilet paper in your freezer. You will be grateful you did.

But it really is a quite delightful little sauce.

This is a two part review. First, for those who don't usually take in spicy foods, and then for the enthusiasts.

Those who don't regularly consume and/or enjoy hot/spicy foods, I don't know why, except to perhaps experience anaphylactic shock, you would use this sauce. Some may use it as a terrible prank, or for less evil-minded people, perhaps to add just a tiny drop to a huge pot of chili to spicen things up. I would warn you to be extremely careful with this. Nothing but holding cold milk in your mouth for several minutes will get rid of your world of pain. You may also experience breathing difficulties, and I'm not trying to kid or scare you, just warn you of the realities.

For those who love hot sauces, you'll note something very interesting, as you may have noticed with all the previous sauces before. First you'll be shocked by how little of this sauce is required to produce a lot of heat. But rather quickly, the heat will disappear, and you'll be filled with massive cravings for the endorphin rush produced by putting a lot on a little. I swear, I'm salivating for that sauce right now as I write, and I smear this stuff on like ketchup; and those of you who experience no pain with very hot foods know exactly what I'm talking about. A fair warning is necessary however, that this sauce, while it may produce an extremely pleasant sensation for the "connoisseur", will nevertheless peel the skin off your hard palate if you use too much, or for too long/often.

My quest continues for a sauce that will be so painful that my nervous system will be unable to compensate for it. Any recommendations are welcome.
