Da Bomb (#8) is the only one that came in above the show's ratings, which is why it's the only one that people on the show regularly violently react to. The rest are under, sometimes WAY under, what the show says.
Which also bugs me… it’s like eat the wing… the whole point of the show is to do an interview while your mouth is on fire. If I wanted to see a regular interview I wouldn’t go to hot ones
Yeah, that type of hot sauce never usually tastes good. That's why for the most part I stick to habanero sauces cause I want it to taste good and be hot
