They use the Scoville Scale. It measures the amount of capascin(sp?) in the chili, which is what activates the chemoreceptors in your mouth. The more receptors activated, the more nerve endings it stimulates, and the spicier it seems.
And to everyone hating on me about Frank's, I'll admit, it does taste good, but let's be real here, it's just not spicy at all. I guess I should have clarified. I don't think it tastes like ketchup lol.
Hottest naturally occurring pepper. Recently some scientist developed a hybrid pepper that tops the ghost pepper but the name is escaping me. If anyone could locate that it would be dandy.
chaloula or what ever sponsors the USASA competitions that a few of my friends do. you cant set anything on his dresser because the entire thing is covered in bottles
I love hot sauce on anything. You ever had it on bacon? It's so delicious. But after you put it on pop it in the micro for a few to let it cook into the bacon. Oooooooh yes. Chalula is great, but not spicy enough. Tastes great, but it's lacking some punch. Ramen noodles with hot sauce, so good.
Cholula is for pussies. I put a third of a bottle on a pizza. It's crazy how 'spicy' that stuff is. The taste is good, it's just not spicy.
Frank's is pretty good, Sriracha is better.
Franks... hah. Elementary hot sauce.
Sriracha... a classic.
Cholula... another classic.
These two are my current favorites. I go through many bottles per year seeking nirvana. If you want to really step up with something, look for Kumaoni at your local Indian food market, hard to find, but well worth it. They make some serious sauces with some really incredible flavors.
