care for a cool analogy? (edit)

Blair’s 16 Million compares to tabasco the way a bottle rocket compares to Nagasaki - NY Post May 4th, 2005

A $300 vial of hell fire crystals!
(not affiliated with Beelzebub in any kind, just pretty hardcore crystals of Capsaicin)
they're sold out but the legend lives on (can't find the link) it's a guinness record

to put things in perspective:
the Scoville scale (which is used to measure the piquancy of peppers)
- 0: bell pepper (no heat)
- 2 500 - 8 000: jalapeno pepper
- 30 000 - 50 000: cayenne pepper, tabasco sauce
- 855 000 – 1 041 427: naga jolokia pepper (worlds hottest pepper)
- 2 000 000 –5 300 000: Standard U.S. Grade pepper spray
- 16 000 000: Blairs 16 million reserve (aka pure capsaicin)



a little review for ya, also a pretty solid research base for hot stuff (the writer , whom I suspect to have a pretty concrete stomach) had to trow away his soup


WANT!


EDIT: (a bit easier to relate to)
