Hot sauce lovers are generally pretty extreme people.
Heat fiends like to live life on the edge.
They’ll go to a traditional Sri Lankan restaurant, order the hottest beef kottu on the menu, drown it in chilli paste then revel in the ring sting they cop the next morning.
If you identify as a Spice Master 2000, you’ll be thrilled to learn OG hot sauce company, Tabasco, are releasing their hottest sauce yet.
The Scorpion Sauce is a limited edition condiment that combines scorpion peppers with guava, pineapple, and a dash of original Tabasco.
The result?
A “a tangy sauce with untamed heat and a touch of Caribbean sweetness,” that is a whopping 20 times hotter than the Original Red Sauce.
It rings in at roughly 50,000 on the Scoville scale, which is… hot. Raw cayenne pepper hot. Those girls who went viral after they did that ‘world’s hottest pepper’ challenge hot.
Only a small batch of the stuff has been made, and was made available exclusively online at tabasco.com and in Avery Island, Louisiana, the original home of Tabasco Sauce (if you feel like a quick trip across the Equator).
We’ve done some scrounging and it looks like it’s already sold out – so your best bet’s probably to keep an eye on eBay for a tangy re-sale.
