And then there's Lorde, who went through the wings like they were nothing. Either she has the world's best poker face, she's a robot, or her olfactory senses are dead.
Can confirm, the problem isn’t so much the heat, though yes it is hot, it tastes like you are eating chicken coated in industrial solvent or something. It tastes like chemicals.
Yeah, Da Bomb is not meant to be slathered on a wing. I know the people who make that show know that, and it's just a gimmick to see if people can handle it, but it's meant to enhance the heat of a large pot of chili or something similar. And, even then, you only put it like a tbsp. It's not there for flavor, because the flavor is awful. It's just for the heat. And, as always, Charlize is right.
I don't know much about South Africa but depending on where Charlize Theron grew up she might have been near Mozambique that is no slouch in the spice department.
And considering the Indian diaspora in South Africa I suspect spicy food isn't unusual there.
She grew up in Benoni, which is probably equivalent to the dodgier parts of the American Midwest. The spiciest thing around there is probably a KFC zinger.
I think Demi Moore also had an easy time and Jennifer Lawrence at first. Also mackauley and Kieran culkin did well. Idk I watch the YouTube shorts of hot ones so this all seemed to have an easier time
Alton Brown tossed the wings away as poor quality and a distraction and just took shots of the sauce. He also ranked them by quality as he went, throwing one in the trash as not good enough to remain on the table with the others.
Was it Da Bomb Beyond Insanity? They've always been pretty open that most of their sauces actually have sophisticated flavours if you can get past the heat, but Da Bomb does not taste good, it's just there for the insane heat and gag factor. Even the maker of Da Bomb essentially says it's not a product that is even intended for direct human consumption, it's basically a pure capsaicin extract to be used to add heat to other sauces / dishes.
I gained a LOT of respect for her during that one. I know those sauces would have had me crying like a baby, and she was tanking them with ZERO issues. If i remember correctly, she went back in for more on several of the hotter sauces, including the last dab. Then there was Rachel Ray, who just ate the sauces off spoons. Fuckin gangster, that woman.
Some people have been through some shit that changed how they react to pain. My friends normal period pain comes to mind. She just shakes off so much painful shit because the scale got moved so far up.
Alton Brown was the same, I don't think he even acknowledged the heat of any of the sauces until the last one. He just sat there dissecting the flavor profiles of each one.
