I'm actually not bragging, I've never eaten any real hot sauces before, today I decided to try my tolerance after seeing dp on hot ones, and was shocked at the fact that it wasn't hot at all. I got a brand listed as 250k and it felt like any regular mild sauce.

They might be scamming.

It was mic's chili emerald jalapeno which is listed at 150k(not 250). But still should have felt much hotter. It felt like my regular red rooster sauce.

I'm not very familiar with spicy stuff tbh
I use piri piri sometimes, but that's about it - it's very mild imo... I guess this sort of thing depends on individual sensibility
some people are more sensitive than others

Sauce might have been lying tbh. There was only one hot sauce that I had a while ago but I forget the brand, it was some type of habanero sauce.

Spiciest thing I ever had was some wings called "dead man walking" which ghost chili peppers in the wing sauce. Chit burned but damn I love spicy food so I finished them.

Tapatio sits at roughly 3,000 Scoville heat units which puts it slightly hotter than the original red Tabasco Sauce (2,500 SHU). Compared to fresh peppers, Tapatio is as hot as a milder jalapeño pepper (2,500 to 8,000 SHU).

Tapatío is hot enough for a regular meal. Try that it’s an actual Mexican sauce. If it was old stock or bad stock that could be a problem too.

Could just be you, don’t know if these European sauces are any good. Tabasco tastes like vinegar though more then hot sauce. Tapatío is actually has some kick though, not reducirlos but good to flavor your meal.
