Mad Dog 357 Hot Sauce, 5 Ounce

By far the hottest sauce on the market! You only need the size of a pen point to feel the heat!

Great sauce. Classic. One of my favorite all-around sauces. Would be really great if it came with a flow restrictor insert to allow for more controlled pours. Given tabasco does this, given how much hotter this is, it would make sense to have the same or more control. I’ve ruined plates by pouring too much accidentally, and have purchased my own inserts for Mad Dog bottles, which I highly recommend anyone reading this does, as it greatly improves the experience, while keeping the bottle clean enough to put in my backpack (another downside of no restrictor is the sauce dripping down the side of the bottle and then spreading onto surfaces and skin).

Whoever packaged my order of this deserves to be fired. They decided an envelope and some bubble wrap was sufficient. It wasn't. In my excitement, I didn't question the undoubtedly questionable packaging. I ripped open the package and took out the bubble wrapped bottle. As I unwrapped it, to my horror, the broken bottom of the bottle fell onto my hand and carpet. I rushed to my kitchen, and in one of the least thought out and reckless moves of my life, I washed out the bottle with hot water. It was my greatest mistake of that day. The already toxic fumes clinged to the steam causing an absolute hellish gas to begin spewing from the sink. All too quickly the horrid concoction filled the air of our kitchen. My sister witnessed the horror, and believed me to be exaggerating the suffering my mistake had caused me. My lungs were breached by the tainted air, and induced a violent uncontrollable retching. I told her to get to safety as I ran outside myself. She quickly realized I was sincere as the gaseous death reached her. My grandmother believed she was stronger than the toxisity that now filled our kitchen. In a brave act she ignored our warnings to see for herself the calamity I had wrought onto our home. Her lungs, weakened by age and asthma, were instantly marred. She nearly fell to the hell-smoke's clutches, but in an act of mercy from a divine power, she was able to escape and seek safety in the open air of our backyard. After the s**t-storm had lessened, I realized that I still had some of the deadly sauce on my hand. I quickly doused it off with water from our hose, but it was too late. The sauce had inflicted a chemical burn that haunted me for nearly a week after. I was unable to take warm showers and harsh sunlight irritated my skin greatly. While this sauce almost single-handedly killed me and my loved ones via suffocation, I feel obliged to give it five stars. I knew this sauce would bring me pain when I purchased it, but I gravely underestimated the true power of my foe, and have been taught to never make such a mistake again. This sauce has humbled me with it's cruel and unapologetic potency. Use caution when handling this product, especially if it comes in an envelope.

I've had a lot of hot sauces, but this one really is something else. Usually I go for the sauces with Carolina Reapers, as they are said to be the hottest peppers on Earth. I have a bottle of Blair's Ultra Death (made from these peppers), which is supposedly over 1 million Scoville units. Having gotten comfortable with that sauce, I expected Mad Dog 357 (at 357,000 Scoville units) to be a piece of cake. Boy was I wrong.This sauce is different. Other sauces have spice, but this one has a kick. That is, a drop of this hits you immediately as though you've just been kicked in the face. After that initial wave (which often induces coughing), you'll feel the lingering heat ramp up. My lips often get pins and needles from this sauce, which very rarely happens to me in quite the same way from other sauces. All of this happens from just a single small drop. If you want a sauce so hot that it will leave you in pain, this is it.Beyond the extreme heat though, this sauce also tastes great. It has a deep, slightly fruity (from the Habaneros), peppery taste. The combination of the unique heat and great flavor earns it 5 stars for me, though I'd be careful about giving it as a gift to someone, since it's just that hot.

Excelente

I'm a fan of spicy foods and sauces, but Mad Dog is on a whole different level. The first time I tried it, I didn't even register the sensation as heat; instead, it was like someone had beaten my tongue with a hammer. The pain lasted for hours. The next day, I tried it again, but only put a drop into my bowl of beans and corn. It was still too much. I spent a month trying, unsuccessfully, to build my tolerance to it or to find a way to enjoy it. Even dipping a toothpick into the sauce and stirring it into my meal resulted in such intense heat that it was all I could taste. The pain simply never gave way to the burn I was looking for, and I was about to give up on it.Finally, I decided to mix up my own sauce. It's nothing sophisticated: some tomato-based Ortega, a generous portion of Marie Sharp's delicious Habanero sauce, a splash of Truff Hotter Black Truffle Hot Sauce, and a few drops of Mad Dog. The results were magical. Smoothness, rich flavor, and heat. So, so much heat.As far as I'm concerned, this stuff is about as edible as napalm straight out of the bottle. However, if you get creative with how you use it, it's an absolutely brilliant ingredient.
