-Scoville-

KingMob will be happy to know that his beloved Sriracha is the first result in this image search for "Hot Sauce."

But Sriracha is moderation, in spice and marketing. The Hot Sauce industry has a lovely tendency to go for broke on the product names, and for enabling their clientele's masochist fantasies.

1 Million Scoville Pepper Extract
This concoction, for example, blinds us with a scientific name and 1 million scoville worth of pepper extract. Stronger than mace, essentially poison to the uninitiated.
Pure Poison Hot Sauce
Pure Posion, to the initiated.
Blair's 6am Reserve Collector's 2.5oz.
This "masterpiece" is $50.78 an ounce.
Kick Yo Ass Hot Sauce 5oz.
Hot sauce vendors depend heavily on ass humor.
Satan's Blood Extract
Devil Humor is also important.
Submission Hot Sauce
What this brand lacks in name, it makes up for in image. 'Ouch' is right.
So Sue Me Hot Sauce
I think this sauce best depicts what makes a body sweat in contemporary society.
The Source 7.1 Million Scoville Extract
Do not eat straight from jar, the creators advise. The Source will kill your stupid ass.


I bought a bottle of Iguana...

Iguana Radioactive Atomic Pepper Sauce!
