Okay, once a week the wife has night class, which means I get the house to myself. Perfect time to do something stupid. The other night I decided to do a taste test of Blair’s 3 A.M. - Earlier this week a customer wrote me and asked if any physical harm would occur if he used a toothpick to put Blair’s 3 A.M. directly on his tongue. I told him no, not when used properly, which is true - but the more I got to thinking about it, the more I wondered what would happen. Could hot sauce physically harm me? It just so happened that I had a bottle of 3 A.M. that was cracked and leaking, so I decided it would be perfect for me to try.







I’m not going to say it wasn’t hot, because it is hot, very hot. But because I tasted it with cheese and didn’t get any on my lips, the burning sensation lasted only about 20 minutes and it wasn’t bad at all. I liked it of course. I finished off the rest of the cheese, each with a drop of the 3 A.M - In moderation I’ve found this extract sauce to be very enjoyable. I tasted only the flavor of the cheese and not the extract - just heat. Very nice. I think I might make some chili this weekend and use the leftovers in that. We’ll see how that heats things up.

came here via melinda’s newsletter link. i’ve always tried new sauces directly on my tongue. i love the cheese idea. well played
I never quite understood what you would use the reserves for other than making your own lethally hot sauce. Some Mega or Jersey Death will probably be enough for making your chese hotter than hell.

You are indeed a braver soul than me. The again, I don’t want to defile my precious bottle of 3am by removing the wax so I can get to the sauce. I’d certainly try some if I came across an open bottle, tho.
WOW!! 20 minutes is quite a long time for a toothpick full. gosh, i would never touch this stuff!! lol
sorry for the wrong post on the Blair’s 16 million.
Would your rather go with Blair’s 3am or Demon Ichor?
I bought a bottlle earlier this summer. I’ve been making money off it since. Our local Hooters have made celebrities out of us. Always offer it to someone in a group. Peer pressure is a mother!! My Advice: Don’t do it!! I’m telling you this from experience!!
I’ve used the 6am reserve.
I put a blob of the stuff on the end of a toothpick, and mixed it into a bottle of Frank’s Red Hot. For better or worse, you will absolutely be remembered for serving “Hot Wings” that are ludicrously hot. Actually, even that was too much heat. I tried one wing and my whole face was on fire. I mixed about 1/4 of the spiked sauce with a second bottle of Frank’s and came out with something that was still hotter than anything I’ve ever gotten in any restaurant that boasts about how hot their hot wings are.
Yes, I’ve touched a dab of this vile shit to my tongue. I was spitting out blood. (this was the 6am which is their 16,000,000 extract) A friend of mine did the same, then promptly held his mouth open under a running water spigot for about 15-20 minutes.
I’ve got it on video — funny stuff.
The cork in the bottle gets loose after some use, and handling the bottle will get the stuff on your hands. Using the toilet or rubbing your eyes can be a very painful experience if you don’t heed the warnings about wearing gloves.
I was once stupid enough to take a tea spoon of this. Needless to say i won’t do it again.
can anyone tell me if i were to put a small drop of blair 3 am into a large bottle of tobasco sauce would it be manageable to eat??? i can drink tobasco and i love the taste it just doesn’t have any heat no matter how much i use. so i was wondering about trying this out, but don’t want to break the seal on my 3 am. anyone tried this?????/thanks to all for any comments-matt
