And sure enough I was sick most of the night and had a rough morning if you know what I mean. The unit of measure of the degree of hotness a sauce dishes out is a scoville unit. Tobasco ranks in with around 2100 scoville units. Well the Blair’s 16 Million Reserve Crystals boggles the mind with a whopping…you guessed it…16 million scovilles. What is bottled is 1mL of pharmaceutical grade Capsaicin crystals. Maybe not so much food as poison but it takes the cake as world’s hottest hot sauce.

Finally someone has tapped into the power of soy to truly benefit the greater good. Purportedly for the first time in history 3 Vodka has used soy as an agent in their exquisitely distilled vodka. Although other grains were employed (but they’re keeping the recipe under wraps) soy is their signature element winning awards the world round.
