The words Hot or Spicy on the package mean that you are in for a spicy, lip burning, stomach scorching, brow wetting event like no other. I muddled through the first one I tried and the others sat in the cupboard for months afterwards.

I grew up on spicy, but this stuff should have been illegal.
We spicy food lovers came up with something called the Scoville scale, basically measures how hot something is. What you ate is probably around the level of a Tabasco pepper. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scovill...oville_ratings

Ok, now lets see someone try pure capsaicin.
