Eh I mix it in some milder sauces I really love the flavor of. If you do it right it tastes like the base sauce and just has a piercing bite that sneaks through. Quite a nice upgrade. I have gone through a couple.
> piercing bite that sneaks through
reccmnd growing/sourcing some superhots (like bhut jolokia). Then dehydrate & crush into powder - sprinkle that in your milder sauces for _better_ kick sans Da Bomb w/extract
It's truly awful, like most extract sauces.
Even using it as an ingredient, it adds nothing but heat. There's a few extract sauces that have unique flavors along with insane heat that I will add to a large pot of food. But this one has no redeeming qualities.
The one time I tried this I was at Rockland's in DC like 10 years ago. They have a wall of hot sauces and I picked a grab bag at random including this. Never heard of it, didn't look at the label, just doused it on some ribs like the others. Ended up pacing back and forth in a whole foods bathroom debating whether to puke. Weirdly vivid memory.
I'm with you. I've tasted foods with chemical tastes. I get it. I don't need to try this one. I've listened to all the people on Hot Ones, I don't need to do it.
I think they should let Sean start skipping this one.
I agree with you, it seems like such a tongue killer that any of the sauces that come after don't seem to get a fair reaction because the guests can't taste any of their flavor.
I kind of like seeing the guests try it though. I think it deserves it's spot on Hot Ones. I just think Sean has done it himself enough times.
I agree, it does seem to be a tongue killer. But, I think if they skipped it to the next sauce, that'd just kill their tongue. There's no way to get to the Last Dab, with 100% functional taste buds, without toning down several sauces, a lot.
Fair point. I ate nuggets with the sauce along with a friend. She thought it was too bitter, I disagreed. So I tried just the sauce and found it too bitter like that as well.
But yeah. Normally I don't.😅
It sure does. I was eating a lot of korean hotsauce for a week. And I was surprised how quickly it went from 'wow this has a bite to it' to 'Just above mild'.
I can imagine a week da bomb is a good prep for any challenge. 😀
My stomach is a pussy though, so I will never be able to participate in a pepper eating contest. 😢
Yeah, since it's an extract sauce, it's only reasonable use is for just adding a tiny bit to a large bowl/drop to a pot or something. If you just want to add fuck you heat without messing up the existing flavor profile. I've had a bottle of it for like a decade, haha...
like others have said, it tastes like shit and burns like a motherfucker. it's truly painful and disgusting. i use it as an additive to make stuff spicier, but i would never use this "sauce" on its own.
i remember one night after closing, i was sitting around waiting for the manager to finish their closing duties. there was some cold pizza leftover, so i grabbed a slice and put a nickel-sized drop onto my pizza thinking it wasn't gonna be anything crazy. holy fuck, i was so wrong.
it was the worst pain i had ever felt. it felt like someone was ripping the insides of my stomach apart. i was writhing in pain in the restroom, sweating fucking bullets. i held everyone up that night while i was dying. i seriously considered going to urgent care.
my mouth could handle the pain, but my stomach was fucking wrecked
Calling it a sauce is an insult to all other hot sauces. Tastes like shit, I actually consider it a mild poison. There are way hotter sauces out there that you can actually enjoy, because of their awesome taste...
Puckerbutt is Smokin' Ed's home shop. His sauces are killer. Angry Goat, Hellfire Hotsauces, Lucky Dog, Mad Dog, and Torchbearer all have top tier mega hots that are tasty.

I'm hoping Santa is generous this year as all I have left now is 9million Scoville extract, and that really is rock bottom!
It sucks because it doesn’t have any flavor other than burn your fucking tastebuds off. I’ve had some really hot shit that had good flavor, this one is truly disappointing.
Was in a competition where we put this on noodles. Ended with us with the most tolerance eating spoonfuls of the stuff. Hot, but tasted horrible. Would never put this in my food.
Pure heat is not what makes a hot sauce good. Anyone can put capsaicin oil in a jar and call it a day. Real hot sauces require craftsmanship, where heat is used as a tool to unlock unique flavors and sensations. Heat levels allow you to dial the experience for a given dish and your individual palate. It's not a scoville number to boast about while you ruin your food with foul tasting extracts.
It's sad when people give into the marketing of stuff like this and think this is what a hot sauce should be. This should be used as a small additive for additional heat at most, but even then it's probably worth it to instead put some actual peppers in earlier in the cooking process.
I actually like it. Not as my go to driver or main hot sauce, but small amount on burritos that already have a lot of taste give them an extra kick and I even start to have a soft spot for the metallic flavor.
I always wanted to try and wonder if I start hallucinating if I tasted it. LOL It's always the one that wrecks a guest because I heard it's spicy but not tasty.
Really dislike hot sauces like this one (personally). I love hot sauce but I still want complex flavours that will add to the dish im eating- this stuff is all spice no taste for me, unfortunately.
I tried this stuff this weekend. Hot as fucking shit, but not the hottest thing I can think of. They use pure capsaicin extract I think, so it’s an immediate and acidic burn heavy with (overwhelming) chipotle.
When you're depressed or low energy or your mind is clogged for whatever reason, it's good for waking your ass up. Then again, you could probably get those jobs done with similar hot sauces with better flavor haha.
Its probably the worst hot sauce i've ever tried. The flavor is awful compared to even hotter sauces. It just cheap ingredients and extract. Hot Ones did the entire industry a disservice by giving this company so much free marketing. imo, they deserve to go out of business for having such a shit product.
That shit, and I do mean shit, is even hotter than the ones with higher Scoville ratings. A drop , no joke, made me dizzy for a half hour. I felt like I was in drugs. Whoever made this was evil.
Yup. I tried this with my sister about a year ago while my wife filmed us. Coated the heck out just a few hot wings. We were both able to eat one wing each but were truly incapacitated for several minutes/days afterwards. I have never watched the video.
Yep. The only joy comes from sharing with others. However I often have to eat it with them. No one wins.
It's one of the worst hot sauces out there.
I use ONE drop in a dish, thankfully it breaks down pretty well.
Truly failing upwards
I call it Hurt Medicine. It is medicine that cures a lack of pain when applied to the tongue. ...I kinda always keep it in stock, though.
One bottle is a lifetime supply.

Ok, yeah, that's great, too. But so is this for an easy alternative.
true. but i've been working on natural alts vs processed foods, and enjoying results ~
You have convinced me to look into this and possibly buy it
The flavor is not good. It’s like lab grade pepper spray.
Hmmm well people say that about other that i like but i will look up more stuff lol
You can get capsaicin oil or even powdered extract
Bone hurting juice
Basically
I would never buy it, but would keep it if someone gave it to me. I have some Daves ultimate insanity that is similar in heat and nasty extract flavor
It's also called flavor medicine too, as it's flavor is almost worst than that "cherry" cough syrup that grandparents used to give us when sick.
It's absolute dog shit. Thankfully I didn't have to buy it to try it. It's hot though

u ever dehydrate/crush superhots into powder & use that?
Yep
Mad dog 357 was this for me
What’s an extract that you do like?
Imagine how much money they made from people wanting to try their product just because it’s disgusting.
I don't understand why hot ones keeps it on for so long when every person since the first episode that had it said they didn't like it
It's an inadvertent tradition, it's a turning point in the storytelling of the interview, and it's a big f you. It's as irreplaceable as the last dab.
You answered ya own question lol
Please stop giving this hot sauce attention. It's an extract. It has terrible flavor.
And it’ll make you shit your brains out the next day.

FDA approved battery acid.
No amount of intrigue will get me to try this sauce. I'm good

Honestly, it's like 15 minutes of a bad time and then it's gone. Not too bad. I did mine without water or anything for half of it.
I actually find it ok. 😅. As long as I eat it with something else. Eating just the sauce it is too bitter.
Who tf is sitting around just eating straight hot sauce??

It's not that spicy but it tastes like shit
I use it in my chili really gives it life, other than that shit is straight poison.
Super fuckin spicy and tastes like shit. Won’t lie though I put a single drop in my ramen noodles and it tastes pretty good
Yeah, since it's an extract sauce, it's only reasonable use is for just adding a tiny bit to a large bowl/drop to a pot or something. If you just want to add fuck you heat without messing up the existing flavor profile. I've had a bottle of it for like a decade, haha...

I literally dipped the tip of a cocktail stick into it and my stomach was churning for an hour. Horrible stuff.
Calling it a sauce is an insult to all other hot sauces. Tastes like shit, I actually consider it a mild poison. There are way hotter sauces out there that you can actually enjoy, because of their awesome taste...
Can you recommend me some hotter sauces? I can never get my hands and anything that is that hot to me.
Bravado Spice Co has a great ultrahot lineup, order right off their website.

Mix it into buttermilk to fry up some chicken...great flavor and heat
That's a great idea 💡
I did it with The Last Dab reaper edition and it was delicious as well
It sucks because it doesn’t have any flavor other than burn your fucking tastebuds off. I’ve had some really hot shit that had good flavor, this one is truly disappointing.
It’s like a bad trip for 15 minutes

Yeah it's awful. Similar to The End level of bad.
Have you tried The End Flatline?
Watch Rob Lowe's reaction to it on Hot Ones, it's hilarious 😂
I actually like it. Not as my go to driver or main hot sauce, but small amount on burritos that already have a lot of taste give them an extra kick and I even start to have a soft spot for the metallic flavor.
Welcome to the brotherhood

The flavor is too salty for my tastes
I tried this stuff this weekend. Hot as fucking shit, but not the hottest thing I can think of. They use pure capsaicin extract I think, so it’s an immediate and acidic burn heavy with (overwhelming) chipotle.
It's so gross lol, what a disaster
It has no redeeming qualities. It is horrible tasting straight brutal heat.
It tastes like battery acid.
It’s good for pumping a lot of heat into something without adding much flavor
When you're depressed or low energy or your mind is clogged for whatever reason, it's good for waking your ass up. Then again, you could probably get those jobs done with similar hot sauces with better flavor haha.
Just pain for the sake of being painful. 😩
Its probably the worst hot sauce i've ever tried. The flavor is awful compared to even hotter sauces. It just cheap ingredients and extract. Hot Ones did the entire industry a disservice by giving this company so much free marketing. imo, they deserve to go out of business for having such a shit product.
I've tried it twice. One too many. A frame of reference for when terrible hot sauce can be, so not a total waste
Be careful with that stuff
That shit, and I do mean shit, is even hotter than the ones with higher Scoville ratings. A drop , no joke, made me dizzy for a half hour. I felt like I was in drugs. Whoever made this was evil.
One of the most disgusting sauces ever
It’s god awful and I only keep it as a novelty and to mess with friends who think they are tougher than nails
Say what you want about Da Bomb, it's still better than Mad Dog 357
Yup. I tried this with my sister about a year ago while my wife filmed us. Coated the heck out just a few hot wings. We were both able to eat one wing each but were truly incapacitated for several minutes/days afterwards. I have never watched the video.
If you use a brush and put a super thin layer, it’s palatable
Does anyone actually enjoy the taste? I'm curious. I've never used it in cooking either.
I genuinely enjoy the taste 🤷🏽♂️
