Snacc Attacc: We try 3 different levels of hot sauces and it made a grown man cry

Snacc Attacc is a bi-weekly video series where we try out different snacks and let you know if it's worth "snacc-(a)ttacking".

This week, we try three different levels of hot sauces, and boy, were they unbearable! The heat burned through our bodies and made a big guy cry.   


Sometimes, I think our Snacc Attacc producer gets a kick from seeing us get tortured. First, it was whipping the Dalgona coffee by hand. Next, our heat tolerance was put to the test with three levels of hot sauces (courtesy of Heat Pantry), one of which goes up to 6.66 million units on the Scoville scale.

For the uninitiated, the Scoville Scale is a measurement used to record the pungency or spiciness of chilli peppers. Anything above 80,000 unit is considered "very highly pungent", so the last sauce that we tried is way off the charts!

The first hot sauce we had was Dirty Dicks Hot Sauce, which measures 21,000 units on the Scoville scale. It's a tad spicier than the regular chilli sauce found at Western food stalls and the spiciness only kicks in after a while. As it is fruity and tangy, we reckon it'll go well with a plate of fish and chips.

The second hot sauce is the Adoboloco Hamajang with 32,000 units on the Scoville scale. It's made with ghost pepper, and it's not one to be trifled with. The smell alone will hit you in the face and get your heart pumping.

The spiciest hot sauce we had of the three was the Hellfire Doomed, charting an astounding 6.66 million Scoville heat units! Even our resident spice lover was hit badly by its heat, sending tears down his face.

I couldn't even sit up straight after eating a small piece of fry coated in the diabolical hot sauce, and had to lie down on the floor for a good 10 minutes before running to the toilet. 

These hot sauces are not for the faint-hearted, especially the Hellfire Doomed — it'll bring you to your knees. Watch to see us suffer!
