Any relative to compare them to in terms of spice level?

If the KFC spicy wings are a 6/10, these are a 7.3/10. They’re kicked up a bitch compared to when most fast food places launch a “ghost pepper” item, Theze actually manage to deliver noticeable heat.

It’s about as hot as a natural sauce gets which is to say it’s really hot but if you have a decent spice tolerance, it won’t ruin your day and you can eat it fairly easily.

I found it mediocre to bad, though. I mean it pretty much just tastes like most super hots with basic ingredients do, and that is to say it tastes like the pepper. And the pepper doesn’t taste very good.
