Bottle Description: Extreme Heat Hot Sauce
Ingredients: Fresh carrots, choice red habanero peppers, onions, limejuice, vinegar, garlic, and
salt.
Container: There is a picture of a gator cooking a gator over a flame. Maybe it’s a crocodile cooking an alligator? I don’t know but it is a blatant advertisement for cannibalism isn’t it? This label doesn’t make me want to eat the sauces. It kind of grosses me out. The bottle also comes with a dried gator foot. Grosser!
Appearance: Salsa like color. With seeds!
Smell: The smell of carrots and habaneros comes through a relatively heavy haze of lime and vinegar.
Consistency: This sauce is strangely thicker than the ingredients would suggest. Me thinks there is cornstarch somewhere in here.
Taste: Heavy carrot, lime and vinegar burst. The habanero flavor is hidden. The sauce is exactly like the carrots you can get at a Mexican restaurant. The pickled ones that come with the crappy pickled jalapenos.
Heat: (7.3/10) It tingles the tongue. I believe there’s more “extreme heat”ย in my fridge.
Field Test: If you want to use this sauce, consider it on anything you would add lime to. Tacos? Yes! Bloody Mary? Yes! French fries? No!!! It tastes great on chicken.
Final Word: This is certainly not an original sauce. You’ve had it before. Ever had Melinda’s? Then you’ve had this sauce. The carrot and pepper combo is not rare and is almost as prevalent as the vinegar and nothing else combo of Tabasco-like sauces.
Overall: 6.5/10. Not bad. Nothing special. I wouldn’t ever get this sauce again but I don’t mind having it in my fridge.

Tracy, I’m sending a sample to him as we speak! ๐
Clint, thanks for making my day man! A gator sauce review on the HSB!
Wooooohoooooo!
I have a few of the bottles from that line but will never try them. 12 different labels and flavors I think. Glad to see a review to tell me what I’m missing, good or bad. I just had to start a “gator” collection after the whole gator thang here on the blog. This line of sauces with the gator claw keychain were the cat’s meow to start it off!

Bear Advisory
The Forest Service has issued a BEAR WARNING in the national forests for this summer. They’re urging everyone to protect themselves by wearing bells and carrying pepper spray.
Campers should be alert for signs of fresh bear activity, and they should be able to tell the difference between Black Bear dung and Grizzy Bear dung.
Black Bear dung is rather small and round. Sometimes you can see fruit seeds and/or squirrel fur in it.
Grizzly Bear dung has bells in it, and smells like pepper spray!
Blaahaa!! Thanks for the warning Bret! I’ll have to keep that in mind in Nov while I’m in TN

We’re staying in Pigeon Forge, but will make the climb to Club Caliente at some point.
Man I’m going to start filming when we do hot sauce demo. People are so stupid. We mark the heat levels and still put way to much on a chip. It’s so darn funny.

Bret, you have to love the tin-plated supermen. At all the shows and appearances we’ve done, there is always the splinter faction of cranial-challenged individuals. They immediately ask for the hottest thing you’ve got, and then hurt themselves and blame you. I have come to the realization that the lemmings that just want heat with no regard for flavor shouldn’t be allowed to procreate. Although it is fun to watch them perform their stupid human tricks.
