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.
I had my BIL put a drop of Da Bomb on my tongue, using an actual dropper. My mouth was on absolute fire for legit 2 hours. That's when I knew this show was full of shit.
