Never heard of the brand you're commenting on but if it is in fact 16m, that would be the upper end of pure capsaicin. Essentially, that's not a pepper and not meant to be eaten raw. This can cause extreme physical harm. Either they're lying about the scoville rating or they're inviting lawsuits.

I love hot foods but ingesting something 3x that of pepper spray is asking for a trip to the hospital. Or they're lying.

I tried The Source once that hits 7.1 million Scoville. They only allowed you to dip a toothpick in the bottle to try. They say one drop can spice up an entire pot of chili. Once it hit, it took 15 minutes for me to think straight. I don’t envy the next morning poop you probably had.

This reminds me of the time I met my wife's father the first time. I went with her to visit family out west. We took a family picnic and a grill with us on an outing up in the mountains. Getting ready for a nice hot dog I asked for the mustard. Flipped the top and proceeded to spray French's yellow all over the front of his pants and shirt. It probably launched a blast a good 5 feet.

I'm from the east coast. This whole major elevation change thing is new to me. Great first impression fml

Years ago, we had a bottle of sparkling apple cider we'd opened. The plastic cap had been put on it. Being the smart-ass, I wanted to pop the top off and watch it fly a little. So, I gave it a small shake and popped the top off.

Years later, you could still see the stain on the kitchen ceiling.
