  • Scoville is measured by blending or breaking down what the capsaicin is in and analyzing what percentage of that is made of capsaicin. Pure capsaicin is 16,000,000 scoville. Half capsaicin is 8,000,000 scoville, and so on. Since the gum has like 8 ingredients in it and the ingredients are legally required to be listed in order of amount the food contains, and the pepper extract is listed as the 8th ingredient, the absolute highest scoville the gum could have is 2,000,000 and that’s only if all 8 ingredients were in equal amounts, which is pretty much a zero chance. In all likelihood the gum is between 300,000 and 800,000 if I were to make agood guess of it.

    They must be kind of inconsistent with the chips and the nitro gummy bear, because when I did the nitro gummy it was a lot less hot than when I did the chip.


  • Trouble bubble is another one of those BS lies. Pure capsaicin is 16 million scoville. The gum uses a tiny amount of it in the gum. It’s the smallest added ingredient in the gum. Diluted from the gum it’s nowhere near 16 million scoville anymore. They still left it extremely hot, but nowhere near 16 million. I’m surprised it made you vomit since you don’t swallow much of the heat juice. Make your lips hurt though from blowing that bubble.


  • Oh, the schedule is great. We get beds and sleep when not running calls. Have a kitchen to cook in and a living room type area with recliners. We train and stay busy till 5pm. After that we mainly just chill out and do what we want when we aren’t running a call. Usually get woke up once a night on average. Usually a medical call or a lift assist for an old person who’s fallen and can’t get up at night. But every time I get off work I’m on “a four day weekend”. It’s awesome.


  • For sure on Da Bomb. I’m from Kansas City near where it’s made and have been using it since 1999. It tastes bad on its own but works great to make other things hot. I keep it around (ground zero) to ad to other hot sauce and salsa and ketchup bottles and Sriracha and BBQ sauce I buy and to ad to soups and chili to make them spicy. It’s great for adding heat to stuff that tastes good. Dave’s is just tasty and goes right on sandwiches and stuff.





  • Yeah. I do very hot sauces on about everything I eat. Love the stuff and I think I don’t react to capsaicin like most people. I ate that chip on a completely empty stomach in the morning and that’s what caused my stomach to hurt, I think. I just popped it in my mouth expecting it to be not really any hotter than all the other spicy challenge stuff. I was surprised they made a “challenge” chip actually that hot.
