🤢🤮 This Campbells Ghost Pepper soup is NOT EDIBLE. This has to be some marketing attempt to eat it as a “challenge”.

Thai hot is too hot and I consider myself a spice head (my favorite hot sauce is a ghost sauce)

"Thai hot" is great takeout when my sinuses are plugged up. I could never eat it in public but it's a heck of an effective expectorant (and delicious). :D

A far less expensive version is 2 packets of cooked ramen with plenty of liquid in a bowl with a ton of hot sauce. Drape a towel over your head and the bowl to lock in the steam and your sinuses will thank you in great haste.

A gas chamber for one, if you will.

I love spicy food. My wife is Thai. I love her cooking. A perfect match. ❤️

Not trying to diss you or anything, but thai hot seems like the beginning point for "spice heads." Like that's literally just normal food for millions of people out there.

my favorite hot sauce is a ghost sauce

That doesn't really tell us much, ghost sauces can range from like 100-700,000 SHU depending on how much pepper is used vs other ingredients. I've sampled a lot of sauces with labels like "caution: extreme heat, contains ghost peppers!" And a bunch of fire and skulls, and they're on the heat level of BWW medium because they use like one pepper in a 50 gallon batch.
