I'd imagine it be a similar sort of situation as it is with wine, i.e. you can't really tell the difference. Sure, you can tell the difference between watered down crap like Budweiser, but once you get into actual real beer, it would be very difficult to guess the price just based on taste, since beer (like wine) is super complex and taste is subjective.

They edit the footage so we, the viewers, can view it in chronological order, in a way. The information is presented to us before they expose the price. Before editing, he had already opened the hot sauces and he was explaining the smell and other details of each hot sauce. At the 3:50 mark did you notice the clip was cut and pasted?

[@troodon1096]

There's no conspiracy or artifice here; they clearly did this in multiple takes and are editing them together. But they had to blur out the prices since they used a clip where they were already showing, to present them in correct chronological order.

[@baller7387]

@@troodon1096 that doesn't remotely explain why he was clearly in the process of reviewing the hot sauces prior to making any assessment about their price while the prices were already exposed. the clip itself isn't pieced together, and he is in the phase where he is only beginning to scope out which might be the more expensive sauce, so the whole they used a clip where they were already showing idea doesn't make sense. the prices should not be showing if Noah has not even begun to make a decision as to which sauce is more expensive in the same clip, it's as simple as that.

[@baller7387]

@@GilbertTheFish_ this explanation doesn't make sense when you consider the format of the show. the process is supposed to be chronological, so why is Noah ostensibly just beginning to analyze the sauces when the prices have already been revealed? the way I see it, this can mean one of two things. Either they somehow lost the footage, had to reshoot, and forgot to put the letters back. Or the expert takes a look at the prices prior to "guessing" which product is more expensive, he simply forgot to put the cards back, and for whatever reason they decided to leave this in.

I've heard someone on Hot Ones describe Da Bomb as tasting like burning rubber too. I've tried Scorpion pepper Last Dab, and it doesn't really taste like he's describing. It's also a more orange-yellow color.

[@sizableyeet]

Da Bomb also has orange juice as an ingredient which would explain the “citrus note” he smells at the beginning. However, I would guess that the other sauce isn’t The Last Dab (it would have to be the Carolina reaper edition given the peppers he tastes) because the entire Last Dab series are mustard based sauces with significant turmeric notes (which are noticeably absent from his description). I’ve had The Last Dab (in all its editions) a few times now, and if I can taste the mustard and turmeric this guy definitely can.

I like in this show how they usually point out that just because something is expensive doesnt mean something is actually better. Lmao. Sometimes when I try expensive food or anything it's like obvious that they're trying really hard to use expensive ingredients but they end up making it wrong and the taste is not what is should be. Lol

*How can you be a hot sauce expert and not know that drinking water makes it worst? DRINK MILK!!!*

[@awchakula6117]

All drinking makes it worse. You have to chew on some plain bread or rice.

[@saristaa1]

@@awchakula6117 That's not actually true, at all. I've been eating scotch bonnet and habanero chili peppers since I was 2-3 years old. All dairy products help with the pain. Drink milk or eat cottage cheese.

My dude really just chased a hot sauce with a less spicy hot sauce 🥵🔥☠️

[@docOld55]

I'd love to know the Scoville scores on those last 2.

[@EmilyTestAccount]

bad sauce was probably da bomb/blairs//mad dog 357 so figure in the 3-400,000 range

[@wildcard2219]

Honestly I would take a weak hot sauce with a lot of flavor over a balance I just love the flavor the spices bring to it not the heat sometimes it’s nice in certain dishes though

[@bensalazar9747]

Laaame

[@butre.]

flavor comes before heat, but if it were just about the flavor I'd just stick more spices in the dish. heat serves too important a role in hot sauce to be of no concern.

[@presdurst3325]

You should try this thing just called sauce

[@BelowMinimums]

The superhot sauce letter A *has* to be Da Bomb. He described it exactly the same way the Hot Ones guests did. "That taste awful" "it's super hot" "it's a prank sauce" Yep. Da Bomb.

[@kylealexander7024]

Why did i just watch hot sauce being tasted for 20 minutes?!

[@veRGe02]

GET THIS GUY ON HOT ONES ASAP

[@DelMonteFresh]

Thinking we need to add a hot sauce expert to our staff 🤔

[@qt31415]

i want to know what that creamy asian sauce is

[@qt31415]

wow thanks. it fits like a glove. not to get my hands on it from where i am..

[@bsg2g]

if it's really the heatonist 1, then it's quite interesting that Noah Chaimberg didn't recognise it.. since he's the founder of heatonist...

[@Haurath]

Dawsons Sichuan, 3-1 is High River Hellacious, 4-2 is Puckerbutt Reaper Squeezins.

[@lol...]

Creamy rich Asian sauce

[@pop9340]

No Jamaican jerk??? Its incredible. Actually, the Caribbean in general has amazing hot sauces

[@lisdmon6538]

watching this while my mom makes her own sauce in the kitchen ^^

[@ryanmacleod3969]

This just makes me want some fried chicken.

[@najib9093]

Ryan Macleod I want extra hot Nandos.

[@VA7SL]

Water, such a rookie move. My go to is Sour Cream.

[@APHRODITEEEEEE]

Ok who found these experts maaaan I'm so impressed! The cheese lady was blonde, the chocolate lady was a brunette, the ice cream lady had light pink hair and the hot sauce dude is a redhead!? Omfg 😂

[@stvnsanders7]

I wonder if option A for the final sauces was Da Bomb!

[@willardroad]

Yup. He confirmed that in some of the comment replies. Good eye!

[@rianmilit]

Oh, yeah he is a hot, saucy expert, all right.

[@fvw1187]

Does anyone know what the yellow sauce is? I want some.

[@yasmingarcia2301]

Bread expert please

[@PrettyGuardian]

*Keeps a bottle of Cholula in my purse. Tapatio in the cupboard. Sriracha in the fridge. Green Tabasco in my desk*

[@richyyLR]

Red Tabasco for life!

[@nabihasiddiqui9753]

His voice sounds like John Mulaney!
