Your Review:: My boyfriend's family loves food so spicy that you have to choke down water. According to them Insanity has an almost vinegary flavor, but it's the only sauce I have ever seen that made grown men run for the sink. I want to get a couple for them for christmas. - Elizabeth

Your Review:: This sauce is hot sure, bot I've had hotter. Definetely much hotter than Tobasco Habanero(my favorite), but not as hot as some other things I've had like slap heard around the world and definetely not as hot as da bomb ground zero(so hot I fell to the floor). However still be careful as too much can make you ache a little bit. Enjoy guys. - palavos3

Your Review:: I was thinking that this sauce was going to be really impossible to eat, something special according to some reviews I have found in the internet but, it was not that hot or at least not to me, I would say I get as much hotness in some of my mothers food and definitely a lot more taste, I tried by it self put some in my hand and liked and the taste is not very good, I also put some to one slide of pizza in which I put about one spoon of this sauce and I also added more peppers it was hot but after 5 minutes the hotness disappear, I think I would buy one because I can used it just for the heat level and mixed with other sauce to give it a better taste.
Overall in my opinion Dave's insanity is a good sauce not so much for the taste but it has a high heat level, if you like hot stuff try it is not as hot as people say it is you would be alright.

Your Review:: My Dad and I decided to visit one of our favorite local Mexican restaurants that we hadn't been to in a while. It's a very small place, but has always had some of the best food I've had anywhere.Now this place has always had fairly hot (and exceptionally flavorful), but... for some reason that I cannot comprehend... my Dad asked for hotter.

Your Review:: Well good folks, this story is absolutely true. We were talking about Dave's insanity one day and one young college blockhead decided that he could handle it. We dared him to take a full shot glass(on an empty stomach). We tried to recant and not have him do it, but he wouldn't out. He took it and provided us with great concern and loads of vomiting laughter. He actually broke out in hives which lasted three full days. He wouldn't stop vomiting, man we got scared. Not all bodies have the same tolerance so please take at your own risk. - David

Taste Opinion: HEAVENLY!; Heat Opinion: TOO HOT!

Your Review:: This stuff is definitely hot... but to be honest I expected hotter. Guess I'll have to keep looking for that perfect sauce (something that's hot enough to bring tears to my eyes but still taste awesome.) This stuff hasn't even made my eyes tear up. Flavor is initially good but it has a strange aftertaste that is hard to describe. But thats also the time the heat kicks in so it'll take your mind off the aftertaste. Overall, good stuff. - Outpatient

Your Review:: It's very hot. Be careful how much you use -- a drop or two too many can make your food uneatable (I speak from experience on this one). Great to use if you're trying to teach yourself to eat slower, as the pain will make you pause in between bites.

Only buy it if you want pure heat. The taste is bitter and unappetizing, sadly. - Adrienne

Your Review:: I have to say, the hottest hot sauce i have ever had!!
I use to have a problem with eating my roomates left overs from the fridge until one day last year!! I had come home from work and noticed how good that left over pizza looked. I took two pieces, heated in the microwave and added tabasco as i always do!
Needless to say after the first bite I was looking for any type of liquid to drink, which was followed by a trip to the bathroom for about an hour or so! Thinking that there must have been some sort of reaction between the tabasco and pineapples on the pizza, I thought i would have another piece. Well, same damm thing happened again!! Few hours later my roomate gets home with a stupid little smurk on his face. Turns out he drenched that pizza with Dave's Insanity.
I will never eat anyones food from the fridge again!!! - Brent

Your Review:: Finally, after 3 years, I return, a grown college man, to try this volcanic liquor from the 9th circle of hell. I shake it up, twist off the cap, and dab about a drop, including the smear from the neck of the bottle, and dip some garlic bread in it...

First impression: Pretty warm, kinda burns in a different way from the habanero sauces I'm used to. Kinda tastes like dirt though, but hey, you don't buy this for the taste, do you?

After about 3 drops on my whole meal, my mouth burned for a good 5 minutes, my eyes teared a little and my nose began to run. Thank god for endorphins--Dave makes some hardcore shit!

Your Review:: We bet my friend $75 dollers he couldnt drink a bottle of this hot sauce... he drank a bottle of tobasco sauce and thought he was the man and this would be easy... he mixed it with water to smoothen it out a little... he drank it felt fine for about 15 seconds and ran to the bathroom (this was all during school) he just dunked his head into the sink and ran the water over him.. he said if he had a gun he would have shot himself thats how he felt... the nurse had to be called in and gave him stuff to coat his stomach...he felt like he was in hell...

Your Review:: I don't know how you can call this an All Natural sauce,it's an extract sauce.I've tasted it and it doesn't taste natural.It is bitter(from the extract)and very hot(of course).In my opinion this doesn't belong in the catagory of an All Natural sauce.I'll stick to the REAL Natural Hot sauces out there,they taste much better. - Frank Adam

Your Review:: What planet are folks who decry the taste of this sauce as awful or nonexistent from anyway?

It's not for use by itself to be sure, but added in drops to soups - my favorite is 3-5 drops per bowl of homemade chicken noodle - or the same amount in a tall glass of V8 - and you have the best tasting sauce anywhere - and yes, I've tried darn near all of 'em.

Chicken broth really harbors the flavor so I'm surprised I haven't seen this mentioned here. Also great in tomato and cream soups.

Your Review:: Just recieved my Dave's, and I was a little scared. Put about 5 drops worth on a chicken finger, and chewed away. Not that bad? Shook it up and continued eating. Hot, but still not that bad. Started putting dime sized dollups on and thats when it got me. I didn't take one sip of any liquid and found the heat hot but definately tolerable. Taste was delicious.

Your Review:: A friend of my brother's got me with this. I have a reputation for liking things hot. He called me over to his house to try it. Not being afraid of any hot sauce I turned the bottle over covered with my palm and left a dime size circle of sauce and then licked it off. There really isn't much flavor. A bitter vinegary taste before the heat starts in. It soon spread and engulfed my mouth in heat. It gave me the hiccups, something no spicy food had ever done before.

Taste Opinion: Good; Heat Opinion: Hot

Your Review:: Dave's can be dangerous - also for friendships!

My former neighbor liked to cook spicy stuff, and when I met her the first time she only had Tabasco to cook with.
When she heared that I will travel to the U.S. she asked me to get her some of these real hot sauces,
so I got her a bottle of Spontanous Combustion, Capital Punishment and Dave's.
Although I told her to use the sauces sparingly she made a mad-ass Chilie which noone could eat at the next party.

First she didn't talk to me anymore, and half a year later she moved away ... ;-) - Hans

Your Review:: Somebody in this thread said...

-Well, I'm back... tried insanity again. It is hot enough to burn my throat and tongue after being able to eat a habanero whole. How is that possible? I thought a habanero was 100k+ scoville, and this stuff is 80k.-

I think the above is due to the concentration and amount of the hot chemical is in your mouth. Like, put a habanero into the mouth may have a certain amount of hot chemical (concentration and quantity). But putting a drop of the sauce inside the mouth might be upping the concentration and quantity. Like a habanero is like pricking your hand one time with 1 pin. While a drop of sauce could be like pricking your hand 100 times with 100 pins. - Kenny

Taste Opinion: HEAVENLY!; Heat Opinion: TOO HOT!

Your Review:: My introduction to Dave's Insanity was a bit of a accident. I've always liked hot sauce and thought Korean Red Dragon peppers were the hottest food to experience. I was at the Chew-Chew Fest in Burlington this summer. There was a booth with Cajun food. I bought some Cajun pork on a stick and it was good, but wasn't hot enough for me. I asked the chef if they had any hot sauce. He pointed to a huge buffet of sauces. I asked him which was the hottest. He pointed to the Dave's Insanity. At this point I had a few cocktails and was feeling a bit daring (foolish). I poured the sauce on the pork like ketchup and took a big bite. It was most exhilerating. The effect took 20 minutes and 2 frozen custards to extinguish. Suprisingly, there were no after effects at all. Well, now that I lived to tell the story, I fear no hot sauce! Dave's certainly is hot, the hottest I've ever had, but if you like hot I highly recommend fresh (not dried) Korean Red Dragon peppers eaten sliced in your chili, with tacos, etc. Cheers! - Mike

Your Review:: I believe this is the original sauce that went beyond hot. I think at the time it wasnt made with good ingredients. I like the other dave sauces much better, although this one has plenty of kick. If you want lots of heat - its great. If youre looking for flavor, then find something else. Good price, still worth the money. - Kris

Your Review:: I just started getting into cayenne pepper and hot sauces because it's good for you and it taste great. There are a lot of reviews that say Dave's Insnity tastes bad, but I don't feel hot sauces are meant to be eaten by themselves. This sauces is awesome because regardless of what I put it on, it didn't change the flavor of the dish. It just added pure heat. I had heard so much about this sauce, so I started with just a few drops. Now I am up to about 6 or 7 drops per plate of food, or bowl of soup. It is an amazing sensation that goes through your entire mouth. Lots of heat, lots of sweating, and it burns coming in and going out. (If you know what I mean.) - Herb Smith

Your Review:: Once, when I was a young chilihead, young, innocent, and completely stupid, I bought a bottle of Dave's Insanity. I completely slathered the sauce on a taco, took a bite, then ran screaming from the table. A couple years later, I learned how to control it, and now I love the stuff! Great flavor, with intense heat! Dave rocks! - FlameWizard
Taste Opinion: HEAVENLY!; Heat Opinion: TOO HOT!

Your Review:: Great hot sauce. Good to add to things that you don't want to taste like vinegar. Very tomatoey flavor, which isn't what you'd expect if you eat it alone, which is why some people probably think it tastes bad. However, it won't corrupt your food with vinegar tastes.

I just got done sitting around with a friend eating little droplets of it on bread. It hurt amazingly good. About as hot as I can imagine a regularly useful sauce to be. Anything above this is cool, but not something you could just use in a recipe without careful planning and some sort of protective biohazard gear. - Sam

Your Review:: I can't say much about the flavor of this one as it is buried in the heat so I'll just check off good in the taste category

Your Review:: Being a fan of HOT food, and growing Chillis myself, I thought Insanity Sauce wasn't going to be as hot as they all said it was.
This sauce is 'mind blowing' has a great smokey flavour before the heat hits you. I've been having a small drop in BBQ'd hamburgers, wow is this hot.!!!!! Gives you big big 'chilli' buzz. I offered it to some friends, who wanted to try it, one of them had an astmha attack.

Your Review:: I got a sub sandwich at the Firehouse in Pensacola, FL . They have many different hot sauces to put on sandwiches there. I picked Dave's Insanity sauce as I had never tried it.

Taste Opinion: Good; Heat Opinion: Too Mild To Be Called Hot

Your Review:: To the people that haven't tried this, I'd say it's about as hot as a Habanero pepper, maybe a little less, and you can usually get those at your local supermarket. It's DAMN HOT, but not near as hot as some of the people have described it as. I mean yeah if you had 3 or more drops of it, but a toothpick of it isn't enough to set your mouth off. The taste is crap, sorry. It tastes like a much spicier chili powder. For cooking or sauces I'd advise you to use about 1 or 2 drops in small bowls and 3 or 4 in average sized cereal bowls, to give you a good idea of how much to use. - Arch0wl

Your Review:: I don't consider myself a champion fire-eater. So it was with some trepidation that I bought a bottle of Dave's Insanity - the founding father of the extracts - to get my first taste of an ultrahot. Careful to pay it due respect, I split the recommended one drop over three tortilla chips. The result was some air sucking, some fairly urgent water intake, a glowing tongue, cleared sinuses, and a pleasant little endorphin buzz. - Eric Krupin
Taste Opinion: Good; Heat Opinion: Hot

Your Review:: Wow! After finding out how really hot this stuff really is, I ended up talking with my son and a few of his friends about it. They thought they were real tough with hot stuff. So I offered each one a toothpick dipped in it, and then wiped down a bit. Nothing could have made me happier to see this bunch of guys rolling around and saying I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I still have about a half bottle left, and I bought this about 3 years ago! As for taste, you don't but hot stuff for taste - just the heat! - Dave
Taste Opinion: Good; Heat Opinion: TOO HOT!

Your Review:: I got two bottles of this stuff because no hot sauce in stores could challenge me...At the time. I put a drop on a stick of beef and I am just on the floor twitching. I've had it for about six months and still have 7/8 of the bottle full. Very good stuff, definitly a gateway hotsauce. If you like it, you will get use it to it over time and move on to the over 1,000,000 unit sauces. Good to try if you want to get into the world of hot sauce hell. - Crazed Arab
Taste Opinion: Good; Heat Opinion: Hot

Your Review:: Growing up in the South, I have had my fair share of spicy food- Mexican as a youth and Thai and Indian as an adult.

I purchased a bottle of Insanity about 3 years ago, and its still 3/4 full. I use this to add a punch to already spicy foods that aren't spicy enough. I must say however- do not f*** with this stuff. I've ruined full plates of food by adding too much. - Mark from Dallas
Taste Opinion: Good; Heat Opinion: TOO HOT!

Your Review:: this stuff is stupid hot. i went golfing a while back and after the round went into the clubhouse for a beer and wings. we told the cook to give us the hottest wings that he could. when he brought them out we each took one bite and that was it. other people at the bar thought we were wimps for not eating them so we made a little challenge for them. if they could eat two we would each buy him a beer, if he couldnt he would buy us a beer. needless to say me and my buddy drank free all night. - dave

Your Review:: Well, I'm back... tried insanity again. It is hot enough to burn my throat and tongue after being able to eat a habanero whole. How is that possible? I thought a habanero was 100k+ scoville, and this stuff is 80k.

Anyway, now that I can taste the taste, it is NASTY, and will make anything you eat NASTIER! It kind of tastes like dirt or a moldy stick, but still packs a wallop... - Derrick again...

Dave's Insanity Hot Sauce: Dave's Insanity unleaded - After eating spicy food for 3 weeks trying to beef up my tolerance for pain, I bought some of this stuff and came online to check it out. Just read 100 or so of these reviews, and couldn't wait to try my new sauce. I shook it up well, pulled the little plastic seal off and licked it.

Let me tell you, it is some hot hot stuff. I guess I swallowed most of the capsaicin, but the stuff on my tongue let me know that I was engaging in liquid heat.

And now, apparently, there is some on my fingers because my nose is on FIRE!! I thought I was careful opening the seal, guess not careful enough. That little bit is about as hot as eating a whole cayenne pepper I suppose, but there was no taste to it, just HOT. But then again, that is what I wanted! I have a new sauce to work on my tolerance for the rest of my life, because if I ever finish this bottle, It'll probably be my end! - Derrick

DAMN. its the new king of the hill in my frige. the farthest ive gone with it was 1 teaspoon stright. although i can tolerate its burn without making a scene it is rancid heat. the only sauce to make my body react with rooling tears. every other ive tried only made my eyes water at worst. the after math of my little teaspoon challenge, i ended up throwing it up in the toilet because my empty stomach couldnt take it. as for its taste.. ever eat tree bark. thats the best thing to compare it to. - Jadeite

Dave's Insanity Hot Sauce: I was turned on to Dave's by my father in law. His friend splashed his whole burrito with this stuff then used his finger to spread it around, licked his finger then tossed the burrito in the trash can.
He gave me some of this and love it. I used it also to stop my son from sucking his thumb when he was 2 when that off the shelf store stuff failed. Did not even phase him with store stuff. Dave's worked like a champ. 1 drop on his thumb then wipe it off. He broke his teeth wrecking habit in one night. - Road_Slug

Dave's Insanity Hot Sauce: Went to a bbq and my friend's wife made a bean dip and put some of this stuff in in. I had a chip with some dip on it and instantly had to down the rest of my beer!!! ( not much help ). I then talked someone else into trying it. They ate half their chip, dropped the rest on the ground while running for a drink, and their dog quickly gulped down what was dropped!!!. Funniest thing I ever saw in my life!!! dog went into convulsions hacking and coughing. It probably won't eat anything dropped on the ground again. Great stuff!!!! - Name not provided

Definitively one of the few yardsticks in the hot sauce cosmos. Taste Dave's Original Insanity and you'll be singing its praises - but be prepared for your chilehead inaguration. You'll never look at Tabasco the same.
A thick, dark red mash with excellent heat that lasts - as will your bottle. You don't need much of this stuff to get a reaction - it's strong. Take precaution when using; the oil burrows into your fingertips and makes removing contacts a sadistic nightmare. - Danno

The first time I tried Dave's Insanity Sauce was one drop on a chip. It got my attention but I couldn't detect any flavor. The burn really didn't last long at all either. I let my brother try it - he put a quarter-size gob on a chip and turned as red as the devil himself (and he eats Habaneros right off the plant). I have now worked up to the point where I put a teaspoon in a Bloody Mary and it wakes up the flavor nicely (of both the sauce and the Bloody Mary). After some regular use, the flavor is really outstanding. Great product. - Shiftless

Hotter than normal, weighing in at 300,000 Scoville units, Dave's Sauce blends high heat with great flavor. Dave's is a reddish brown color with a barbeque like consistency and taste that it backs up with a hefty but not overpowering capsaicin punch. Use in foods is great, allowing spicing beyond that capable by normal hot sauces for spicy dishes such as extra hot wings. Use on foods is possible 1 or 2 drops adds a medium to hot amount of heat to a single serving while more is quite available for the hotheads. All in all I like Dave's for its exquisite balance of taste and heat. Remember 300,000 Scoville's, dangerous, painful in sensitive areas, be careful. - Mike Keehn

Taste Opinion: HEAVENLY!; Heat Opinion: TOO HOT!

This one's plenty hot. Only a true chilehead would want something hotter than this. (I know, there's plenty of us out there, believe it or not)

If you're new to the experience, I recommend you use it very sparingly at first...a little goes a long way -- this will efficiently add the heat you're looking for.

A drop or two of Dave's Gourmet Insanity Sauce packs more punch than an entire bottle most other sauces will -- Daves' blends in well and adds the heat you crave without adding the overwhelming salt and vinegar taste (like most other hot sauces) to your food.

I recommend it highly to heat up Tex Mex dishes - especially chili. I use it omelettes, chili dogs (yum!), spaghetti sauces, stews, and anything Tex Mex.

So far, it's my favorite. I've tried many, but this is the one I keep coming back to again and again....and again. - Bill A.

This sauce is truly dangerous. After using it sporadically for months, I put one drop in a pot of mac and cheese; one small bite and I could barely breathe for fifteen seconds.

This is still an old favorite. It was my first experience with a true hot sauce and back then I thought it was the hottest thing around...actually it probably was the hottest thing around in those days. I don't use it in drops any more, now I just pour it on. It's got a great flavor and plenty of heat when used straight. I also still use it mixed with other sauces but it takes spoon fulls and not just drops to add enough heat. The Final Answer is my favorite but I still really enjoy Dave's Insanity.

the first time i tried daves insanity sauce was at a bar my cousin worked at. I was reading the bottle, then he took a toothpick dipped the tip of it in the sauce and stuck the toothpick into a hotdog, That gave a new meaning to the word hotdog. Then I went to the bathroom and peed , 5 minutes later I was back in the bathroom washing the fire out of my pants ( if you know what I mean). Now I just keep a bottle to watch big shots who think they can handle hot stuff cry when they try it. and those who say it isn't hot are liars, do not give it to cats it sends them into convultions, also i found if you mix half a bottle of the sauce with water and put it in a spray bottle it makes a excellent pepper spray it really works, do not spray in someones face, just spray in the air and watch them gasp and caugh for air. wicked shitI labled the taste as awful cuz there was no taste. just turn the flame on, on your stove and take a bite thats what this sauce is like. - Randy

I was sucking down sodas and water, trying to breathe and regain my composure, but the potency of it was too much and it was just one of the worst experiences I have ever had.

I didn't think nothing of it until I put my contact lenses in. I was jumping, yelling and screaming, not to forget yelling 4-letter profanities. After the burning slowed down, my eyes were so red it was like I spent the night at a feminist convention getting a lesson on how PEPPER SPRAY works. Taking a number 2 isn't fun either.

My friend gave me a bottle of this infernal essence to add to my collection, and, being a chilehead in training, I have a higher heat tolerance than the average person, so I gave this sauce a whirl. I put just a SMIDGEN on the end of a toothpick, and rubbed it on my tongue, swishing my saliva around to spread it, and within 15 seconds, I felt a sharp, warm sensation in the back of my mouth and throat. After this experience, I decided not to try it like a sauce. It wasn't unbearable, but 'cuz i used such a tiny bit, I will assume it is WAY, WAY, WAY too hot for me, and rate it "TOO HOT!", and I didn't taste anything so I will call the taste "Good"- This is definitely a scorcher.

I'm a pretty respectful guy, so I figured I'd take it easy and put only a few drops on a tortilla to try Dave's the first time. Yep, it's absolutely nuts.

my first experience with this stuff is when I found it in my grandmothers fridge. I immediately knew this was my aunts, cause she really loves hot food. So I showed it to my friend ( we were both sleeping over), and he told me that it couldn't be so hot. We looked at the back and got a good laugh. I told him to try it first. He stuck his finger in the bottle, then put it into his mouth. there was just enough time for him to go hmmmmm... Before he couldn't speak. All he did was sit there with his mouth open breathing really fast. I tried it next. I was fine for about 2 seconds, then OH MY GOD! I've never, ever felt anything so HOT! And I am used to eating hot things! Habanero salsa, chili, and I've even tried Savinas!

Needless to say, we both love Daves and asked my aunt if we could keep the bottle. She agreed, and my friend borrowed the bottle to take it on vacation and try on his friends. He has grown quite a reputation.

A buddy of mine recommended this to me and said it was FLAMING! He was right on that one. But not only is it flaming, it is excellant. Full of flavor and packed with so much heat you won't know what to do with yourself. The first day I bought this, I smeared it all over a polish dog with hot onions and hot mustard. It is the closest I've ever been to a forest fire. It burned like a mother, but was quite satisfying. The second day, (today) on a dare, used 1/3 of the bottle on a freshly caught and cooked small mouth bass sandwhich. I don't know about you, but I can say I do not have any bacteria in my mouth whatsoever anymore. It's like nuclear holocaust.

I think it's just about right. Add about an eigth teaspoon to a "large" bowl of chili and stir well. Not advised for wussies.

I use it in homemade jerk, chili, and when I want to show the min. wage freak at T.Bell I just place it on the counter and say"I have my own thank you" They always think its just a Tobas... product.

My wife made Fajitas for me and my friends a couple of weeks ago. We sat down and of course Dave's was on the table. I warned my friends about the sauce and how they use to clean out old Nuke reactors anyway my friend Jae said "Ahh dont worry I'm Korean!" Those were the last words he spoke that night. About 15 seconds after he placed 2 tsp on his fajita he turned major red and couldn't catch his breath.
I've since invited Jae over for food and funny he always seems to be busy.

The standard by which all others are measured. Unless you are truly insane, this bottle will last you quite a while. I've gone through a little less than half of one bottle in about six months. Excellent flavor - great for burritos, chili, BBQ, marinades. Story: I showed a friend my bottle, and he asked to try it. He was about to dump a tablespoonful onto a tortilla chip, and I would have let him, except I didn't want to pay for his medical bills! I kindly stopped my friend, and gave him a toothpick to "generously" apply Dave's sauce. He never asked to try it again. His loss! - Steve

A real nice sauce to heat things up. Easy to use too much and fry your brain if your not careful. It's wonderful to add to chili, dash on burritos etc. I don't get a lot of flavor out of it, mainly heat. It's just something I have to get past. - Pepper Head Doug

He didn't belive that the small amount I got out would be hot & grudgingly wiped it on his finger.

I have tried all kinds of
"super hotsauce" like endorphin rush, dave's ultimate insanity, hog's ass, batch 69. None of these has the combination of flavor and the right amount of heat for me, like dave's original insanity. Its the perfect hot sauce for me, and add's one hell of a kick to a bloody mary.
If you like a really hot bloody mary try this:
4 parts V8 juice
1 part absolut peppar vodka
1 dash worchestor
1/4 tsp celery salt

First, I am the only chilehead in my household, so we only have MILD salsas in the fridge unless I make a point to buy something hotter. We had taco salad one night, and I had a typical (for me) serving of about 1 lb (.45kg) of the stuff. I filled a small custard dish with Pace Mild salsa, and then proceeded to add 5 drops of this into it, and then placed it into my taco salad. PAIN!!! I was eating relatively mild foods the next day. The only reason I can figure that anyone would create this is if that person's a complete psychopath. My hat's off to you, Dave. :) - Name not provided

I went to a friends house who had been looking for a great hot sauce. I am red headed, and tend to sweat when eating hot sauce. He said to try one drop on my pizza, so I went ahead and spread one drop across the top. I started sweating from the smell alone. The initial taste wasn't too bad, but after 5 minutes my nose and eyelids felt as if they had been sunburned and was sweating like a stuffed pig. Later that night, I woke up due to nightmares and went off to the supermarket to purchase Tucks and Antacids. - Mr Mitch

I wasn't sure if this sauce was going to live up to the hype, but I have to say I think it's awesome. Of all the hotter sauces, this one tastes much better than all the rest.

If you're looking for the standard "hot sauce" type flavor, I gotta give it to Dave. - PT

We were tasting this new bottle of hot sauce that someone had brought into the shop... we all had the toothpick taste, and ... yes it was HOT!!! Pretty HOT!!!
Later that night, I was making the lunch run, and decided to take the bottle along for the ride and have the Chinesse guy try s little... He said "OHH!!!! You bring me bottle hot sauce?" "Nope... this belongs to a guy in the shop. But I wanted to see if you would like to try some." He looked at me for a while then handed me a little bowl. I tried the best I could to just get a little drop into the bowl so not to flamethrow his mouth. First he smelt it... then he proceeded to dunk his toung into the sauce. "Whoa!!! Whoa!!! Whoa!!! That's too much!!!
After about 3 seconds his face and eyes went red, and beads of sweat were forming on his fore head. He said, "You don't eat that! That kill baby!!! That too HOT!!!

I worked at a major barbecue store that sold all sorts of hot sauces, but Dave's is the one everyone talks about. One of my co-workers would have one drop of this stuff a day until a bunch of us dared him to take a tablespoon's worth for $40... I've had this wickedly hot stuff and sorta knew what was going to happen. To make a long story short, he had to puke 3 times, left work early, and could not bartend later that night, which was a Friday, a day he makes the most money. His stomach was in knots, his whole mouth, and throat numbed by the heat and pain. He definately earned the $40. Dave's is a must for the people who have friends who say they can have ANY hot sauce and want to humble them.

Dave's passes all tests by not only being hot, but tasty... something that too many of the folk who make the super-heat seem to forget.

After reading the reviews, I had to add my own experience. First, I was using Dave's Ultimately Insane Hot Sauce which is more powerful than the Insane. Secondly, I have been using Dave's Ultimate Salsa for a while and have always thought it was wonderful. Very Hot with great flavor. So, when I went to use the Ultimately Insane, I placed about 5 dollops onto each of the 4 turkey tacos I had made for myself. Holy S***. It was TOO Hot. Really couldn't enjoy them. Didn't go through some of the pain I have read about, but I did hurt myself. Hours after I had eaten, I kissed my wife and burned her lips. She was not a happy camper The next morning, not only did my arse hurt, my pee burned! This stuff is absolutely amazing and I love it. The next time I used the sauce, I spread a small amount using a chop stick. Very hot, very good. One drop is PERFECT in your own bowl of chili. No one in my family can deal with it. - GPA805

I have a good story about my buddy Jed. We met working at Clydes, a BBQ joint. He was a cook and I worked the bar. He was leaving Clydes to take on another job and got out early and of course everyone had to buy Jed a beer. He had quite a few to put down and wouldn't think of wasting em'. Now Jed introduced me to Dave's and I was at one time a fool sucking wind to put out the fire. Jed had a few beers and decided he was going to be a tough guy and do a tablespoon straight to his face. About a minute later he was puking the stuff up, out his nose, in his eyes. He was outside throwing up saying, "don't tell anyone about this". Was he kidding? I told everyone I knew.

Some friends of mine in class were talking about how hot this stuff was. I thought "hey I can handle it" and told them i would chug it. They brought it to school the next day, and this one chick tried a little dab of it on her finger and almost died. However, I still took the bottle and took ONE HUGE GULP of it. I was fine for about 2 seconds. After that, I had my head in the water fountain for about 15 minutes. I then drank a mountain dew on my way to the cafeteria to get some milk. My stomach cramps were indescribablle, and I felt like I was committing suicide. I felt better after I puked a couple of times, but hey, now I can say that I have drank more of that stuff than ANY of my friends, and to them I am a hero (as well as psychotic). - Ashley

Let me start by saying that I am no hot sauce wimp. I put Habanero sauce on everything, I literally choose what to eat by how well it will act as a vehicle for heat. So, when I tried Dave's Insanity Sauce, I smiled when I read the part about how it can be used to clean driveways.
However, a few seconds after eating the sauce, I had to suck on an icecube to numb my tongue. Tears were squirting out of my eyes. I couldn't BELIEVE how hot the sauce was.
Ten minutes later, I decided to try it again (I told you, I'm no wimp - not very smart, maybe, but no wimp)on the theory that you have to get back on the horse that just threw you.
One minute later, I was sucking on an icecube again with tears rolling down my cheeks. I felt like I had laid my tongue on a griddle while having Mace sprayed in my face. My wife still can't believe I did this to myself TWICE!!
I have thrown out hot sauces before, due to flavor, but this is the only sauce I ever threw out due to heat. It is UNF**KINGBELIEVABLY hot! I can't even comment on the flavor - what does fire taste like? No, thanks, Dave. - Peter

It's funny actually, I brought my insanity sauce into work about a week ago (we only have tabasco there, might as well put water on your food) A few days after telling everyone that it was MUCH hotter than tabasco and to only use it in drops, one guy dumps about a third of the bottle on his food. I had the day off, so I couldn't stop him. I heard stories about him turning bright red, and attaching himself to the local water fountain. One girl literally thought he was going to have a heart attack. HA! Wish I could've seen that one. The next day, he says to me, "You've got to be insane to eat that stuff!" HA!

This is definatly the worst tasting sauce out of the four I ordered from firegirl (Dave's, Mad dog inferno and 357, and endorphin rush) but it certainly serves its purpose, giving me those wonderful endorphins at work. - Name not provided
