i've always imagined that it tastes like burnt gasoline. ??
It has flavor, but to give you an idea, buy a habanero at your local grocery store (it has the same ~100K Scoville level) and nibble it. It "creeps" on you. That's what LL felt. But a lot of these sauces are diluted with vinegar, so they aren't "that bad", IMHO. I put Da Bomb on my nachos when I was a teenager.
I bought a bottle of this once : https://hot-headz.com/sauces/hot-chilli-sauces/daves-insanity-sauce/ Sh*shank, A know-it-all Indian dude at work said he could eat anything hot and had never had what he considered "Indian-level" spicy food since he'd worked here in the UK. I brought this sauce in one day and asked him to try some. Bear in mind that for me, a finger-prick-blob would be enough to numb my tongue for 20 minutes.
He poured a teaspoon-full out and before I could stop him, he'd necked it. He ruminated on it for a few seconds, then replied, calmly, "Yes.. yes it is hot. But not really spicy." He went back to work. I couldn't believe it and we carried on our day, whilst I walked away shaking my head.
In the afternoon, one of his other Indian friends came over to me and told me Sh*shank had been in the toilet about 20 minutes later, crying in the cubicle. It was funny because he was such a smug f*cker.
