Much as I love spicy foods/hot sauce, this weapons grade shit is just silly.
I once signed a waiver to purchase a spicy chicken sandwich and will never do so again.
I had the same sandwich (Dave's Hot Chicken reaper sandwich). I assumed it was just a marketing stunt. After one bite I had to go back and get a milkshake so I could sip it between bites to finish the damn sandwich.
Oh was it made with Dave's Hot Sauce? I had a customer bring in his own Ultimate Insanity hot sauce to use in a Prairie Fire shot (tequila+hot sauce). Shit looked ROUGH. He let me keep the hot sauce after though and it became one of my partner's favourites.
alcohol an capsaicin hits hard. the alcohol acts as a surfactant and your throat just gets obliterated. even vodka+tabasco can be pretty rough.
Yeah it's totally a mistake.
I bought some stupid hot sauces out of curiosity a few years ago (last dab kind of sauces, they are fairly hot but still edible) but was not prepared for the heat. I tried some milk and bread and whatever and it didn't help clear my mouth. It was on my tongue and my lips and I wanted it OFF.
So having watched some of the "plutonium" hot sauce videos I put my obviously very big brain to work. In some of those videos, capsaicin crystals are dissolved in alcohol. I thought to myself, "alcohol dissolves capsaicin, my mouth is hot from capsaicin, I have an idea". It was not a good idea.
I swished and swallowed a shot of vodka.
As you say, it really helped the spicy coat my ENTIRE mouth and top of my throat. If you have never had spicy pain in between your teeth and coating your entire gumline, it is really something else. 2/10 would not recommend.
In any event, a lesson was learned that day that I doubt I will forget.

I find it hard to understand how a potentially hazardous to health food item is even allowed.
What is this obcession with ever increasing level of spice in food, lately?
Because at some point all the flavour just goes away, replaced by a hefty dose of pain.
It can be fun to safely experience sensory extremes. Many people get an endorphin/dopamine rush from it.
Other than some gut irritation it's not a significant hazard. Like yeah keep it safely stored from sensitive people and pets also it's probably not the best road trip snack or whatever. Certainly less dangerous than alcohol, fireworks, cigarettes or texting while driving.

Spice will give you an approximation of a "runner's high" without the tedious mucking about of exercise. There is, of course, an upper limit which too many products tip past.

I'm not eating any food that advertises what it will do to your asshole. We're adults here, you can just say it's hot. You don't have to say "We are very proud of the way our product will absolutely Sept 11th the hole you shit from." It's not necessary to bring my asshole into this.
Ok but what about a soothing breeze anus chocolate bar?
Do I eat it or just shove it right up there?
Might be more of a Deepwater Horizon situation?
I never understood sweets with spiciness added. It just ruins the whole experience for me. Spicy on savoury foods is fine but not on primarily sweet ones.
I dunno. I like my chili flavoured candy.
Beside, wasn't chocolate traditionally eaten with chili by the natives? Or was it a spicy coco drink...?
Chocolate isn't sweet, it's bitter. You have to add a lot of sugar to get the sweet chocolate we're familiar with. The Mayan and Aztec versions of hot chocolate were more like a spicy coffee than the sweet drink we have now.

iirc mice don't have the same response to capsaicin as humans - they can taste it, and don't particularly like the taste, but it doesn't cause them pain like it does in humans.
I'm sure birds are immune as well as Steve-O, can't say for sure of rodents.
From a tiny amount of reading (and a complete lack of a biology degree...) it's that the rodent taste buds just react differently to the capsaicin, so it doesn't hit the sodium channels in the pain receptor 'stack' in the same way as it does in humans. It's not the total lack of reaction like you get with birds or some ungulates.
...
I think.
As a self proclaimed "marine biologist," I can neither confirm nor deny.
This is interesting. A popular squirrel deterrent for bird feeders is to put spicy stuff on the seed. Iβve been trying that lately and the squirrels have completely left my bird feeder alone. So there must be something rodents donβt like β unless squirrels are just built different?

That's how California fires get started.
Reminds me of the time I lost an entire day to the fucking One Chip Challenge.
I'm the "spicy guy" of my circle of people I know, so I always get brought in the challenge things and hottest x to try. Had the gummies and jerky, and beer, and all sorts of things. The chip has been the only one that I'd actually say was hot. Mouth was fine, but it made my stomach hurt for like 10 minutes.
Lucky you. My experience was the first 20 minutes were bad, but tolerable, then my stomach hurt like a mother fucker for an hour, then I projectile vomited and sat in the shower for like an hour+. Went to bed after that. It was like 5PM.

... that might actually be a ... rather inhumane, but 'effective' form of pest control for mice.
I... did not know that anyone made fucking ghost pepper grade chocolate, but yeah, that would lure in and then potentiall kill, if not seriously injure or at least dissuade mice.
Its like sugar + borax for ants and such, sheesh.
No one does. It isn't a 2.2 million shu chocolate bar. It just has a very small amount of Carolina reaper pepper as an ingredient in the bar. Most of those hot sauces with goofy names are the same way. "Satan's lBunghole made with 6,000,000 pepper extract" Yeah. Made with like a drop of extract so the sauce is more like 200,000 scoville.

Wait, do mice like chocolate? Can they eat chocolate? Or is this one of those the-dog-will-shit-itself-to-death things?

One of those things you buy but never to actually eat. I remember my brother bought me a beer that was made using yeast originally cultured from beard hairs belonging to the master Brewmaster (I believe rouge brewery made it). Could never bring myself to drink it. Sat in my shelf for years as more of a keep sake.
