Very good and spicy sauce as expected but just like the many reviews the product was delivered leaking.

Look everyone has different opinions with hot sauce. I find a good flavour hot sauce then add some of the bomb hot sauce to the other hot sauce. This way I get nice flavour with hotness to it. I have had it buy it self on wings. Not much flavour to this one as it’s more for heat. The one below this one I find is the best overall for heat and flavour.

DISCLAIMERS: 1. If Tabasco is your limit, DO NOT - I repeat, DO NOT - TRY GROUND ZERO. Some people are naturally heat-intolerant, and there are cases where such people have been hospitalized - or in rare cases, DIED - for taking on challenges they shouldn't have. 2. If you put it on a plate for dabbing/dipping, rinse that plate in a gentle stream of cold water immediately after eating. I made the mistake of letting a blob dry out, then using the faucet spray setting with hot water. I don't care how heat tolerant you are. A lungful of Ground Zero vapor will make you suffer, and not in a good way. On to the review. Medium hot sauces were enough for me for years, but during 2024 I've developed a serious tolerance (no idea why). I even tried Last Dab Xperience a few weeks ago. It's rated at 2,693,000 Scoville units, but it was disappointing. Tasty, good heat, a hint of endorphin buzz. But it takes at least 1/2 teaspoon to get there. So I ordered Ground Zero based on some Web reviews. The package arrived. I unboxed it, made a burrito, cut one bite, added 2 drops, and ate it. A few seconds of silence while the nuclear missile descended. It detonated. The heat wave came. Instant pain, thoughts of possible regret. The burn grew moment by moment, quickly surpassing any hot sauce or raw pepper burn I'd ever felt. And it wasn't *close* to finishing. Wave after wave. Coughing, snotty, weepy, sweaty, red-faced, yelling "F***!". I wasn't counting, but it must have been 2-3 minutes. Then the blast wave came. Endorphins kicked in. The intolerable heat went down a notch. It was still searing, but I was now observing myself suffering, like some kind of Zen meditation moment. (I swear I am not exaggerating. It was really strange.) If you're a bored chili-head, try it! You'll like it.

Brought this to a family function where I know people can handle their spice. Let's just say, everyone struggled with this hot sauce even with a tiny drop. This sauce is very hot. Flavor-wise it is not good. However, if you want to spice up something like a soup or other foods, this would be good to add for the heat. Overall, it's insanely hot and worth picking up.

It IS hot, but it's not just heat. It has a nice blend of flavors. I dipped a toothpick in it and used it to kind of inject it into a chicken strip and it was perfect.

For people who like very spicy hot sauce this is great. I was a bit worried after reading all of the reviews that this sauce would be much too hot and would serve mainly as a novelty. This is not at all the case . . . A drop or two on the tongue is very spicy, it leaves a lingering burn which lasts for about 10 minutes. This burn in not the run and chug milk kind of burn that some of the other reviews make it out to be though, it is manageable for those who like heat. I would recommend trying this first by putting a touch on the end of a toothpick to gauge the heat. The flavor of the sauce is delicious initially and you definitely get a sweet tang from the pineapple and a hearty smokiness from the peppers. This taste subsides quickly (within seconds) as the burn begins to take over. I give it an A+ in the taste department. Practically speaking, hot sauces are generally not eaten by themselves. Those of us who like very spicy food use them to spice up dishes to an extent that is too hot for others that are eating the same food. This is where this sauce really shines. I love the burn of spice and the sensation that comes with it, but have often felt that I had to sacrifice flavor to achieve the level of spice that I wanted. You can only add so much hot sauce to a dish before the dish just tastes like hot sauce. With Ground Zero, you can add a few drops (which is plenty sufficient) to whatever you are eating and have a very spicy version of your food that still tastes like your food should.
