Hot Stuff Coming Thru

Sauce company Blair's has created the hottest sauce on the planet. The '16 Million Reserve' sauce is a small bottle containing a whopping 16 million Scoville units of pure Capsicum (the molecule that makes chillis 'hot'), and all this in 1ml of liquid. To compare the heat, a Red Savina, the worlds spiciest pepper measures just 570,000 units and a Jalapeno a puny 2,500. The complany even recommends “protective gloves and eye wear” and some medical experts are concerned that it could kill or hospitalize consumers. It is produced in a limited edition of 999.
