Gas Mask Hot Sauces

'Atomic Kick Ass' Hot Sauce is So Hot a Gas Mask is Needed to Make It

— June 25, 2014 — Lifestyle
Atomic Kick Ass has been dubbed the “world's spiciest drumstick sauce," but in reality it probably takes the cake for being the spiciest sauce in general. It is so hot that the creator, chef Muhammad Karim of Bindi Restaurant in England, has to wear a gas mask to prevent him from passing out while making it.

A blend of the world's hottest peppers make up the sauce. It includes Moruaga Scorpion and Carolina Reaper mixed together with tons of special chilli extracts.

The restaurant challenges people to eat the sauce smothered on 10 drumsticks in under 15 minutes. This may sound appealing to you hot sauce enthusiasts, but be warned: customers experienced face paralysis for over 30 minutes, underwent body shakes and even had internal bleeding.

1. Extreme Heat Hot Sauces - Creating hot sauces with extreme heat levels that require safety precautions like a gas mask during production.

3. Medicinal Ingredients in Hot Sauces - Exploring the use of medicinal ingredients or extracts in hot sauces to enhance the heat sensation and create unique flavor profiles.
Industry Implications

2. Restaurants and Dining Experiences - Restaurants can develop challenge-based dining experiences, incorporating extremely hot sauces as a central element to attract daring customers seeking memorable and thrilling culinary adventures.
3. Spice and Condiment Manufacturers - Spice and condiment manufacturers can invest in researching and developing hot sauces with medicinal ingredients or extracts to cater to consumers looking for unique and unconventional flavor experiences.
