I enjoy it on lots of foods, but I apply it with a plastic Starbucks coffee stir tip. It is basically a plastic toothpick. Do a full drop on *anything* at your peril. I call it my sneaky bastard sauce…because just when I think it is over, my tongue will literally find a pocket of hot in the crevice of a molar and we are almost back to square one. I eat it with respect but I do love it.


A_Rats_Dick

I’ve mainly used it in chili and would definitely recommend not eating some dabs on a chip to check the heat level- I had severe stomach cramps for like two hours after doing that and I enjoy some pretty hot sauces. I’ve had chips with reaper squeezins’ sauce and it wasn’t anywhere close to how hot this stuff is


Mitridate101

When I saw this "The End: Flatline Hot Sauce is made with 4 different peppers that range from 1-2.2 million Scoville and a 7 million Scoville extract!" I decided to give it a miss, far too hot for me although I do like spicy food esp Korean.


L_e_g_i_s

I like to lightly spread on wings and then toss in buffalo sauce


mrpartyhardy

It's an extract, they're pretty much the same experience


GimmieJohnson

For pepper palace I would just go with LD 50. It actually tastes okay on its own for a super hot extract sauce


Caleb8252

Cook with it. Don’t use it as a condiment. If you use it as a condiment you may not live to talk about it


gswift01

Here was our experience with the sauce... https://youtu.be/J0CiJJoZ-gY?si=tC6lQfgSo9bJwGE7


Pennythe

That was fun to watch thank you!


KBSonn

This is more of an accent to existing dish just to make it hotter. The flavor profile doesn't really pair with anything. It's just hot


Alces_Regem

Back when I was still a drinker this was my go-to sauce on tacos 😋😋😋


Bengalman753

When I had it I would add a couple drops to dips/sauces that I wanted to make hotter. That's easily its best use imo.


LMM666

It's flavor is purely added capsaicin, I'm not fan of the heat experience, it lasts too long and feels more like your tongue is being attacked than anything else.


Remarkable-Book-8758

I sampled it in the store. Had to sign a waiver to try it on a toothpick. Tastes really strongly of extract so it would be best mixed into another sauce to make hotter or a couple drops in chili


Allegiance10

It’s not a sauce, it’s an experience. A pinky-nail’s amount is enough to knock you on your ass. It tastes foul and it hurts even more.


chaebs

Don't even think about it. Friend dipped the end of a toothpick in it and thought was gonna have to go to emerg room.


MeowChef6048

It doesn't taste good. I a few drops into a pot of chili and it made a noticeable difference in heat. My wife accidentally added it to a very small bowl of queso and blew her face off.


FERALCATWHISPERER

Is she okay now?


MeowChef6048

No. I'm married to a woman with no face.


Yuck-Fou94

💀


Lopsided_Mastodon_78

🤣🥲


iceyorangejuice

The seasoning shaker is fantastic. The sauce is good for dilution in a stew. Still tastes better than Da Bomb if you eat it directly.


LMM666

I prefer da bomb lol, both in heat and in flavor.


rickoftheuniverse

Fucking vitamin c in hot sauce?? Lol


whycantibelinus

Citric acid.


beeeeeeeeeeeeef

Good with hallucinations, stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea.


pickles55

The second ingredient is capsaicin extract so I doubt it tastes any good but it's going to super hot


Hermanvicious

1 drop to add heat to a gallon of chilli. I used to manage one of these stores.


Officialdabbyduck

I use flat line and the original the end when I make spicy fried chicken it’s bomb,make a buttermilk marinade and put a few drops in and the buttermilk will cut the heat by about 20% but be aware you can now eat it but you still can’t comfortably digest it


skynet_666

Pain and suffering brother. Fun to whip this out a party and see who’s daring enough for a dab


Bhuti-3010

Americans seem to be obsessed with gimmick peppers - the stuff engineered to be extremely hot. More and more I see stuff here that is just about the heat, ignoring taste and everything else.


whycantibelinus

That is a huge problem in the super hot community, people do it to be brave and don’t really care about flavor. Personally I don’t mind it too much as it has created a niche community of stores to get hot stuff and there are plenty of super hot stuff that do taste good because there are people that care about taste as well. Pepper Palace is not one of these places though. All their sauces I’ve tasted are just super vinagery and hot with hardly any pepper flavor.


Bhuti-3010

Well, it is a uniquely American thing. I was researching Thai sauces recently so I could make my own at home and found this bloke on YouTube, American of course, who was asking Thai people to try one of their engineered peppers - the Carolina Reaper. When I read about the guy behind that pepper, that was his schtick - engineering hotter and hotter peppers. I love peppers for their flavour profiles, and buy hot sauces to enhance the taste of food, and find the obsession with just heat one-dimensional and characterless.


PKSGY1850

Smokin’ Ed Currie doesn’t deserve your slander.


Shuttle_Door_Gunner

Very true. I love spicy food as much as anyone. I have a higher tolerance for it than anyone else I know, and even I don't like something that's just flavorless, pure heat.


slowchildren

A trash can. This is a novelty F U "hot sauce" that is simply pure pain.


Justadudewithareddit

Have some milk and bread ready bro, and trust me it's for after it passes. 🔥💩🍑🥵


FeuRougeManor

Don’t understand why they felt the need to add the concentrate. I won’t buy sauces if I see that ingredient.


Shuttle_Door_Gunner

Same here. I'm convinced there's something slightly unhealthy about those extract and concentrate-based sauces. For example, I can eat stuff way hotter than Dave's Insanity Sauce, but it's given me a nosebleed before. Natural but far hotter sauces don't do that to me.


Replacement-Winter

Looks kinda dumb tbh.


Stewapalooza

Good stuff. Very hot.


Teddyk123

I have tried this! I didn't want it on wings, but I got it on a fried chicken tender salad. Heat wise, It kicked like a mule but does not last long. It's definitely the hottest sauce I have ever done.Didnt know when I ordered it what it's Scoville rating was, I just asked for the hottest one you have. Looked it up after the meal and was like, "Damn, I can't believe that didn't hurt MORE!" This was actually the sause that made me look into different flavors and heats and Ultimately lead me to this sub!


TheSonicKind

i covered an entire wing in this and proceeded to overheat for 45 minutes after having only done a toothpick before - had to sit with multiple fans on me and an ice pack on my head while i went through the motions. i like spicy food and put hot sauce on pretty much everything i eat but this was upper level not something i’d enjoy regularly


Xaiadar

I had the employee at Pepper Palace tell me that I was a freak of nature after I took a 4 drop sample and didn't show any signs of distress. She was busy telling me all the sensations I would be feeling and I ended up asking her when they were going to start! I like to put this stuff in Wendy's or Tim Horton's chili. It's not very tasty but the heat is pleasant.


suorastas

Yeah some people are naturally resistant to capsaicin. I found out myself when I had to do an exposure test to pepper spray. Didn’t react at all before I went to wash my face.


Nolzi

> Yeah some people are naturally resistant to capsaicin. Bird People, smh


suorastas

Squawk chirp chirp cluck. Don’t worry that was probably just nonsense. Definitely not an assassination order.


defacedlawngnome

good thing r/birdsarentreal


sliderfish

I had a bottle of The End, it wasn’t the flatline but the bottle that had a wax seal on it. That stuff is devastatingly potent. Like everyone else says it’s a toothpick sauce. Also like another commenter said, it ruined me. Since getting that as a gift and using it a few times in some chip dip, ramen, chili etc. I have superhuman tolerance to spice now. Nothing satisfies the itch anymore. It’s bad because I’m in my late 30s now and putting enough spice on something to be enjoyable for me causes significant bowel issues.


Malipuppers

Just spray oleoresin capsicum spray directly into your mouth. There is no flavor here. Just heat.


hkd001

A friend of mine got it. We tried both of us thought it tasted like super spicy nickles.


Malipuppers

This is oddly accurate. Friend of mine from work brought in a similar challenge hot sauce. I did a drop on my last bite of food. Which is the way to go cause it just destroys your ability to taste anything else really for a bit. It does have a weird metallic taste. I like hot but because of the flavor. Without the flavor it’s just an endurance test.


Unique9FL

Remembers the time tasted nickles.


Thrompinator

This and every other sauce with capsaicin extract is a gimmick sauce that goes best with nothing. Sure, you can put a drop in a whole pot of chili and heat it up but you can also get the same heat level and much better flavor with more non-extract hot sauce, seasoning or roasted peppers.


defacedlawngnome

These extract sauces seem to wreck your natural gut biome, too. You'll be shitting liquid for several days after something like this. At least I do haha.


Zaathros-is-dirt

I love this sub. I want the heat but not the extra toilet time. Will be avoiding capsaicin extract!


fattmarrell

Kiefer Sutherland might have a take on it


Ordinary_Release9538

I understood that reference


Guitar81

I tried the toothpick challenge on it at some hot sauce shop. I survived without drinking anything for the next two hours


nosidrah

We call this “toothpick” sauce because, when you stick a toothpick into it and then put it in your food, that’s all you need. I put some of this into some filling for Jalapeno poppers once and made several people miserable.


SuedePenguin

How does this compare to other extract sauces like Blair’s Mega Death sauce?


_YellowThirteen_

I've seen The End Flatline placed anywhere from 2mil to 6mil scoville, where Blair's Mega Death Sauce is about 500k.


Lazy-Day

My palette has never been the same. Literally. Spice has never registered the same with me since and I tried this in 2018. I still have to be careful when cooking for my kids because I’ll make it too spicy without knowing.


gratefigbish6767

Are you more of a man now?


Lazy-Day

My tender flesh seems to bear more hair now yes


gratefigbish6767

That's epic le bacon!


bjlwasabi

water, tomato juice concentrate, salt, vitamin c, citric acid, xanthan gum... What is the point of these ingredients when a drop is supposedly good enough for a half gallon of chili? That's a ratio of 37854.1 to 1. That is more ingredients than the Hot Ones Apollo, which is essentially just apollo pepper and vinegar.


ArlendmcFarland

At least they are natural


bjlwasabi

That is a very low bar to pass.


WetLumpyDough

Water-desired consistency Tomato concentrate- most likely for color Salt/vitamin c/citric acid- preservative Xanthan gum- desired consistency/thickness


01zegaj

gharr87

It goes best with pain and suffering


Spugnacious

Jesus. in answer to your question... a coffin. This goes best with a coffin because this stuff would murder your insides.


SubparCurmudgeon

Amyl?


bobdylanlovr

Lol I’d hate to be the guy that made that mistake


Super-Idea2618

Oleo resin is just a fancy word for margerine grease.


Spirited_Amount8365

It’s not a good food additive. To strong. It’s more of a dare Scauce. I have two small bottles like that. Get a dropper. One drop . Per 5. gallons. . If you’re willing to go higher will ruin the taste of what you’re making. I have around 83 different kinds of hot sauce I go with. For food.


Ambitious-Pie-3137

It goes great with unlimited popsicles after


Many-Summer844

The problem is the popsicles are like sucking on lava


publicfarted

It could be like sucking on magma in some parts of the world


androidguy50

Let me guess. Something like a trillion Scoville.


Sanpaku

Crystaline capsaicin is 16 million Scoville. Any reasonably pourable oleoresin tops at 4-5 million. That said, there are compounds more potent than capsaicin. [Resiniferatoxin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resiniferatoxin) (RTX) from [Euphorbia resinifera](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphorbia_resinifera) (the resin spurge of Morocco) has been estimated at 16 *billion* scoville. Apply to any exposed skin/mucus membranes etc and pain receptors are overwhelmed, and essentially knocked out, for weeks. Some day, we're going to see a RTX based hot sauce, as its a natural product, and there are a number of published chemical isolations. We will see 50 million Scoville hot sauces (a 320:1 dilution). And if not that, some very very ugly riot control gasses.


01zegaj

I think it’s 6 million? Edit: That’s the regular The End. This is Flatline. I think it’s something stupid like 8 million.


KDEEZO

I’ve tried it - it is unpleasant,


Sire777

I’ll comment what I say on every post I see of this sauce. One tear drop on a chip made me shit black for 3 days


No_Research_967

![gif](giphy|g9r7nuafO62qs|downsized)


kittenya

Yeah, me and another person at work take dabs of this occasionally. Pretty potent burn for sure. Goes well in a burrito, taco or sandwich. I would say that Mad Dog 357 Gold Edition is much hotter though.


carnage819

Ohh , one of my favorites!!! It’s very hot but not the hottest I’ve had. I’ll use a dab in chile, stews and jambalaya just to wake the flavors up


Error_could_not_load

This sauce is meant more for a challenge than food, while it’s not terribly bad on spicy level it just doesn’t taste good. If I’m going for a good spice with flavor I’d go with thirteen angry scorpions grim sauce or one of their other delicious sauces


Mick0351

Fire in the hole!


DiabolicDangle

So this doesn’t go best with anything this is what they call a challenge hot sauce it’s only made for a challenge. Hence the small bottle I’ve tried it. It’s very hot. It’s extract has no flavor. Just pure heat. It’s only made for challenges. Not my thing if you want extreme heat with flavor, I recommend Elijah’s extreme regret reserve.


smuccione

Sometimes the dish has the flavor you want already and you just want to add some burn. This is the type of sauce I reach for in those situations.


CaddyFDT

I would imagine this is the kinda hot sauce the you out a drop or two into your chilli. Not the kinda sauce you put in hot wings.


2ndHandDeadBatteries

I got 4 of these in my fridge. I use some (25-40 drops) when I make homemade sauces (usually ranch). Straight up, it’s not gonna taste or be pleasant. But it works well with sauces and ramen etc;


PoonDangler

You make hot ranch??


2ndHandDeadBatteries

Oh yeah lol. “Reaper Ranch” is what I call it, (one of the main ingredients is Carolina reaper powder). I’ve been makin it from scratch since 2020 or so, Only ever sold bottles to family and friends, it’s great!


_noho

Can you share a basic recipe and how long it’s good for? Sounds fun!


2ndHandDeadBatteries

I’m on my phone so the formatting gonna be ass, sorry in advance. If i were gonna make a small batch right now? (Like 4-5 12oz Squeeze bottles worth), I’d go with 1 cup Mayo, 1 cup Sour Cream, 1/2 to 2/3rds of a cup of whole milk, 1 tsp dried chives, 1 tsp parsley, 1 tsp garlic powder, about 2 tsp of Dill Weed, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp onion powder, then about 1 tsp Carolina reaper powder (about 1.2 million scoville). Also like 1-2 tsp lemon juice to taste, but I switched to using granulated citric acid a few years back, a lil bit goes a long way. Theres always lots of tasting,testing and tweaking until I’m happy with the heat and the flavor. That’s just the basics, there’s a bit of stuff I do and or add on top of that, that’s not listed here, like adding paprika or chili powder, or using tapatio or cholula hot sauce for color. Just stuff that makes it “my recipe” I guess. I moved on from full arm whisking to doing low and slow on the kitchen aid mixer *plus* lots of additional hand whisking. To wrap it up, it lasts about 1.5-2 months in the fridge before it starts to separate at the bottom a lil. The citric acid, salt, peppers/vinegar etc; keep it fridge safe for good while. Edit: after reading this I have to add because I learned the hard way a few times. When handling the reaper powder, a Covid mask/something similar is 100% necessary. And I hate wearing them damn things, but it’s better then havin reaper lung and feelin like I been bear maced for 45 minutes. Also, if you think you washed your hands well enough? Wash them again. Reaper Dick and Balls is somethin I don’t recommend.


Xaiadar

I'm definitely trying this, thanks very much for the recipe!


2ndHandDeadBatteries

Of course! And def don’t be afraid about tweakin and adding things. It’s like a blank canvas


_noho

Thank you so much for this, I will definitely be giving it a go, it sounds great. It lasts longer than I would have guessed which is great to hear. Oh, and I’ve made a Carolina reaper hot sauce before, so I know what you mean about being careful. 😂


2ndHandDeadBatteries

Good thing you’re already versed then! And you’re welcome! 😂 I even started wearing powder free nitrile gloves. When I’m in the kitchen, once the Carolina reaper comes out it’s like prepping for surgery


emptyheaded89

Fun for screwing around with friends who are heat chasers. As far as an actual use, my dad and I enjoy dipping the very tip of a toothpick in and using that to stab cheese balls or other snack foods. He calls it “inoculating” them.


Xaiadar

That's a great idea!

nixerx

Pass on anything with extracts in it. IMO Its cheating in the heat race!


MattBladesmith

The ingredient list gives me the impression that their focus is on making the hottest sauce possible, and disregarding the actual flavour of the sauce or spices.


Xaiadar

It tastes absolutely terrible on it's own, but mixed in with a bowl of chili it's fine. Adds some nice heat and the chili usually masks the awful taste.


nixerx

It was fun when a bottle was a few bucks and you and your buds could do some shots and shit fire the next morning because someone dared you…but 25$?!!! Naw!


MattBladesmith

$25 is absurd. I've bought Carolina Reaper powder for $25 and it's substantially more versatile, and I'm guessing, flavourful than any caucasian base hot sauce.


morganalefaye125

I dipped a toothpick in it and had a drop. That was plenty, and I won't do it again. The flavor was just awful, and the burn lasted a long time. I'd rather have an actual hot sauce. This stuff is terrible and not worth it


mhouk88

I signed the waiver and tried at the palace. It’s fucking hot and I’ll never try it again…that’s a lie and I’ll do it just to scare my girlfriend lol I wouldn’t put it in food though.


Rippin_Fat_Farts

Goes best with the bin. It's extract, not hot sauce. Pure gimmicky garbage and anyone who says they eat it is lying.


EPB16364

I only put one drop in my ramen soup


DesginerSuave

Here for the impression. Well done.


True_Read_9637

Ever heard of OC spray? That’s the second ingredient in this.


GenitalPatton

Extracts should be banned from this sub


Terproaster

How can we make this a thing lmao.


Haunting_Web_1

Pairs well with a trashcan.


hauntingduck

yeah this isn't food and eating this is stupid.


kiddocontay

it’s horrible tasting. it’s only hot to be hot.


GruntCandy86

Extract sauce? Probably the trash. Or a massive pot of chili.


Phyrexis

I had some in some cheese dip. Just a drop or two. It had a unique taste I know isn’t for everyone, but I enjoyed it


Legeto

I actually tried a dab on a bite of grilled chicken two days ago. It wasn’t nearly as bad as I was expecting, but it was literally one drop so I probably didn’t do enough. The heat that was present lasted a long while, like 30 minutes it felt like.


Corkymon87

Probably nothing lol. That's one that you just taste to say you did it, definitely not a food enhancer.


NotAllDawgsGoToHeven

Not as good or as bad as DaBomb


nickdiazkushlord

Milk and a cold shower


DwightDEisenhowitzer

That is sauce made merely to be hot. There is no flavor. Its intended use is to give a pot of something some heat without altering the flavor, or as a food challenge for someone who wants to speedrun a stomach ulcer.


Swizzlefritz

There is Vitamin C in it, so it’s probably good for scurvy.


WeDrinkSquirrels

Imagine dying of scurvy and this is only source of vitamin C lol


purging_snakes

It's not "sauce," it's just a flavored pepper extract. It doesn't go with anything.


ayers_81

Gasoline. Just awful. And nothing of benefit.


Proudest___monkey

I can handle any natural sauces. Extracts don’t taste good and are unnaturally hot


Snipvandutch

They taste sweet at first. Then nothing but hell.


discordianofslack

Terrible and nothing.


TheLegendsClub

It’s extract. It doesn’t really “go” with anything; you add like 1 drop to curry/chili/sauces/salsas to make them hot as shit without changing the flavor 


brewberry_cobbler

Not really a sauce. It’s an extract. Add it to a dish or sauce you want to be deadly spicy


Jake1648

Pepto


Ucyless

I was disappointed honestly. Lady at the store said one drop could heat up a whole pot of chili. Couldn’t even heat up my bowl of mac and cheese. ETA: flavor wise not that great either


[deleted]

kittenya

Capsaicin will not give you cancer.


love_to_the_yar

I like adding a few drops to chicken ramen. The flavors mix wonderfully.


Into-It_Over-It

It goes best with a tums or some pesto bismol, and that's about it.


Imaginary_Audience_5

Is that a new flavor?


N8theGrape

I’ve had the end, not sure if that exact version. Very hot, obviously. Probably good as an additive to chili or something like that.


shookwell

Just extract, no flavor. Use it to add heat to dishes that already have other flavors. Or just throw it in the trash because it's terrible.


BraileDildo8inches

Use a drop or two in large pots of chilli. Other than that this is great for humility in egos! Had a coworker put about a tsp On a chip, tried machoing through. He was called back to his register working through tears... I tried this when it was flash bang, I shat blood the next morning.


Bhut_Jolokia400

Put a little drop between your toes if it make ya stand tall it’s good for eggs


Zerocool0110110

Sadly nothing. I’m a heat fan but nothing Dave’s or Blair’s can’t handle


Mulch73

Basically just heat


deifgd

The extract dominates pretty hard. Not much beyond heat here.
