The flavor is great and there is some heat, but not overwhelming by any means. I read somewhere this had 2M scoville, that's simply is not true. Got a bottle for work, most people reacted with "oh that's hot" but no one had that look of shear terror that you get with something like Black Widow, 357, or the likes. If you are going for flavor and heat, I'd go with Ring of Fire which is more that twice the size and less than half the price.

Not sure how this is rated 2mill. Very disappointed with spending 20$ for something that has a lesser effect than Sriracha - no exaggeration. If you want crazy heat and great flavor, stick to 357 Gold. That stuff is intense. Really bummed because I love Hot Ones, but they dropped the ball here.

So there's some warmth here, what I would call a deep rumbling warmth. And the flavor is a little lackluster after hearing all the talk about it and what's in it. But there is no cataclysmic heat on this one. I was slathering it on crackers, and it takes quite a bit to get any sort of serious reaction out of yourself. I could see this being scary for someone who can't eat spicy stuff, for but spice freaks, this is a pass. I see another review from today saying the same, and I wonder if this was just a bad batch? Unfortunate, but still glad I got to try the sauce from The Hot Ones.

The heat wasn't what I was expecting,but the flavor is damn good. I have been putting it on everything. Wings, tacos, french fries, chicken curry, etc. You name it, I'm dabbing it up. I think it's the ginger and citrus notes that keep me coming back to it. My wife is sick of hearing about it (she doesn't go for heat). I have to leave the bottle at work. Kudos to the freaks at Hot Ones. Keep up the great work!

Steve Marten’s 1978 SNL Microphone electrocution skit describes us crazies that love the experience. The first time I had a similar response as Charlize Theron, then had to have it again

Just got my first bottle today and it was amazing! In small doses it was not that hot but very tasty. This however lead to a false sense of security and when I ate 3 times as much as my first try I felt the pain. It’s very hot but not unbearably hot. Make sure you have something cold to drink near by and in large quantity. Very delectable and is absolutely worth the price.

Pepper heads can come in here with what ever “it’s not hot” comment they want, but there’s no denying Pepper X and Chocolate Pepper X are double trouble. First I crank this cap off, take a sniff. It has a very potent, but almost aeromatic pepper smell you can tell the flavors they chose were well portioned and planned. You can tell the sauce has a good pepper content. The texture and consistency is thick, but I wouldn’t call it so thick it’s a paste. After a good shake of the bottle, and with a small wiggle to coax the sauce as I tip the bottle, I drop myself what I consider a sparing plop just under size of a dime onto a tortilla chip. I place the chip sauce side down onto my tongue. Immediately you get a rush of delicious flavor that rolls over your tongue the pepper flavor is excellent and the first 2-3 seconds there’s a burn but it’s mostly flavor. The intensity starts to creep between 3-6 seconds and you feel things picking up. Your 6th second is when Pepper X starts coming at you like that sound in the movie theater you swear hearing loss by and an intense burn rolls across the pallet and your sinuses flush like an industrial toilet, your face turns red like summer in the desert, and you do that little clear of your throat that just sends it down your throat along with your pride. It’s in this moment, you look at your buddy, breathe out and cuss, then clear your throat again and go “Man, this s*** is pretty hot.” If I could rate this sauce 10 stars out of 5, I would.

But the flavor suuuuuucks. Too thick, not enough vinegar punch. Waste of money.
