I never said I was a role model
I'd heard that Sriracha was spicy but never had it up until I decided to give it to someone else.

My ex hated spicy things. We were at a party at my ex's friend's house and there was a bottle of Sriracha sitting next to the appetizers. My ex was flirting with someone else, so I decided I would be the better person and pretend that wasn't happening by storming into a jealous rage and instead decided to feed my ex out of the palm of my hand while I innocently pretended like I'd never squirted a ton of Sriracha into the crevices of whatever that shrimpy appetizer thing was. The eyes watered up and a look of pain and a cry of help went to the hostess for a jack and coke. Haha sucker.

Meanwhile back where the food was, some guy was bragging about how he was from India and could tolerate tons of spice. Of course I'm semi drunk and I want to one-up someone who's bragging, so I gave myself a dose of whatever I gave my ex. Indian guy goes wide eyed because a white person was eating something spicy. It was hot, but not horrible. It certainly went well with whatever that shrimp appetizer thing was. I think he was just being dramatic and that my ex was probably a gigantic pussy.

Anyway Sriracha was kind of disappointing. I was expecting the sort of burn one gets from eating a raw habenero. I don't dislike it but it's not like OMG YOU ARE GOING TO FEEL YOUR ANUS BURN kind of hot either.

One time in grade 10 i was eating a tuna fish sandwich and i put it down for 10 seconds to take a quick chug of doctor pepper when a bully (part of the "bully cliche" we had in our school) snapped in out of nowhere and took my sandwich. I tried to get him in a headlock and beat the poo poo out of him but the rest of the bully cliche came up behind me and 3 of them grabbed me and made me watch while the original bully who took my sandwich pulled out a bottle of sriracha, ripped off the top piece of bread, tossing it on the ground - while laughing about it- and put a huge glob of it directly onto the tuna.

Took me 30 minutes to finish eating that sandwich, sitting there on the lunch room floor covered in nasel runoff and sweating my clothes through while they uttered threats about punching my face if i didn't finsh.
Needless to say I've never had it since.

All the restaurants near me have weak ghost pepper stuff. It sucks when most of the spicy offerings in non-wing places barely register as hot after they play themselves up. How does the actual pepper compare to like Dave's Insanity Sauce because in early high school I put that on a taco at a potluck not knowing how it was and it ruined me.

2003, out at a Thai restaurant for the first time (Now, Indian Garden (kindergarten field trip) on Devon Ave. in chicago was my first encounter with spice, it was Garam Masala and I L-O-V-E-D IT!!!!) while I was in the third grade.

It's like this, Peanut
in my early 20s I discovered pho and it was awesome and so a group of us went out for it, one guy laughed at HOT COCK SAUCE because it's called HOT COCK SAUCE and those of us who'd been before said be careful, it's pretty hot so he poured a glob of it in his bowl and ate some noodles and said "it's not that hot" and poured some more in and ate some more noodles and said "I guess it's okay" and then took a sip of soup and realized the sauce does not stick to the noodles, not at all

it was just like watching someone new to sushi putting a gumball-sized blob of wasabi on their fish, you want to warn them but you don't want to give away the surprise either and spoil the fun

Daves Insanity is a tincture needed for 50% off salsa. No.

It is weird. The aftertaste of these peppers are so great. I don't think it is worth putting yourself through torture for it.

That's the thing, I've had it several times since and nothing makes it memorable.

Not like ghost pepper anything which starts out sort of sweet and smokey before there is a burn that doesn't feel like it will ever end but in a good and tasty way. If Hell is like a ghost pepper, that's the place for me.

I can't compare it to Dave's Insanity Sauce as I have never had it.

But actual ghost pepper sauce that isn't watered down and hyped up crap is no joke, and I have a high tolerance for spice.

IMHO my favourite ghost pepper sauce is Ghost Train which has the burn but still a good flavour. It's especially good with red meat and chicken.

I had a roomate who really enjoyed eating plain rice with the rooster sauce on it, at the time I was the kind of guy who'd order the mildest option at a place that asked you how spicy you'd like it. His sriracha rice was literally the spiciest poo poo I had ever had at the time but it didn't take me long to get used to it and start liking the flavor behind the spice. Your taste buds literally become desensitized to the spicy sensation the more you experience it so straight up anyone can enjoy spicy food if they try it enough. Now I enjoy much stronger stuff that gets people sweating but still think it is really dumb when someone acts like their spice tolerance is impressive or worth making a big deal about, the reality is really spicy food to me now feels about the same as that first bowl of sriracha rice, being able to handle hot food doesn't mean poo poo other than your having a higher tolerance cause you've had more exposure.

Sriracha is a green earthy tasting sauce with a lot of back of the mouth burn. The tricky thing is its actually a paste and pretty much stays as a paste the whole time unless you smear it. So people almost always put to much on it at once.
