The Pope has died today...may he rest in peace. Pray for his soul and remember all the great things he has and will continue to do for everyone in his passing.

God Bless the Pope.

I still have to share about Holy Week and the trip to Vegas, I'll post about that soon, it's just a lot to type because so much happened and went on.

Well here's one of the experiences I had during the Vegas trip.

We went to one of the outlets over there and there was a stand with tshirts, hats, lighters, and a whole bunch of shelves with hot sauces. I remember Dudoy eating some hot sauce in Delaware and it was ridiculously hot for him. So I called up my sister in DE to find out from her husband what's the good hot sauces. He told me to get Dave's Gourmet. There were a few of them on the shelf and I was going to get the first one I saw. I turned it upside down and the price was around $5. Then I checked the next and it was at $7. As I moved down the line of the hot sauce's from Dave's Gourmet the price got higher and higher until I got to Dave's Gourmet - Ultimate Insanity. This was at $9.99 for the bottle. So I decide to pick it up for whatever reason.

We get to the food court and I ask everyone to try it. Jessica put some on a napkin and everyone dipped a french fry into it, just a small dab because it says on the bottle that one drop is too much. We all tried it and at first it was fine, you could barely taste the sauce. Then it started to tingle, then it got a little hot, then you started to ask yourself how hotter it could get! Then it got really hot!!!

Lasted for a good 5 minutes max for that little dab, was pretty amazing, never thought I'd taste something that was that hot.

Well that wasn't the end of it, they dipped a fork in the sauce that Jessica poured on the napkin and dared me to lick the fork for $5. Ahhh how can I resist a dare?! They put in $4.80 - didn't even make $5 and there was about $3 in change!

But that didn't matter, I licked the back of the fork. Oh man it was all over from there. Started off fine as the first time we all tried. Then heated up a bit. Started to tingle. Then got hot. Couldn't feel my tongue! Then it got extremely hot! They wouldn't let me drink anything so I was dying! I finally got my hands on a cup of ice and put it in my mouth but that didn't do much as I couldn't feel my tongue and bottom part of my mouth so the ice just fell out. I drank some water but that came out too, man it was a mess.

I drank one cup of orange soda, two cups of water, two cups of ice and two packets of soy sauce attempting to relieve myself from the pain and hotness that this sauce created.

I even tried to clean my tongue off with an ice cube and tissue. The only remedy was to keep a few pieces of ice on my tongue for 45 minutes straight until it calmed down enough.

That sauce was seriously hot! My tongue felt like it was swollen. If you want to try this and give it a go, lemme know because I still have the whole bottle left.
