A hot sauce creator has come up with a sauce that if consumed would require one to drink 250,000 gallons of water just to put out the fire. According to The Telegraph, Blair Lazar?s ?16 Million Reserve? is 30 times hotter than the spiciest pepper, the Red Savina from Mexico, and 8,000 times stronger than Tabasco sauce.

According to The Telegraph, Blair Lazar’s “16 Million Reserve” is 30 times hotter than the spiciest pepper, the Red Savina from Mexico, and 8,000 times stronger than Tabasco sauce.

Each of the 999 limited-edition bottles are priced at 199 dollars and contain just a few crystals. The powder is so strong, that Lazar estimates that it would have to be dissolved in 250,000 gallons of water before it could no longer be tasted.

The sauce gets its name from the internationally recognised Scoville units that measures capsaicin content of chillies against how many parts of sugar water it took to neutralise capsaicin heat.
