The listicle goes from one to twenty nine, even though they are listed as 1-30 with number 30 missing. Here are a few of my favorites from the list that I have tried and enjoyed over the years-other than that last one. I have never tried the stuff but I want to cook with it at some point, before I'm so old that it will kill me. The article has pics to jog your memory. Click on it to see them.

- 26. Taco Bell Fire Sauce

- 18. Huy Fong Foods Sriracha Sauce
- Sriracha creator David Tran said he set out to "make a rich man's sauce at a poor man's price."
- The company has never advertised its products, but in 2010, Tran had to open a 650,000-square-foot facility to keep up with demand. Sriracha clocks in at 2,200 SHU.

- 1. Blair’s 16 Million Reserve
- The hottest hot sauce isn't really a sauce at all. It's packaged pure capsaicin crystals (the chemical compound that makes peppers hot), and is "not to be consumed or even opened without using extreme caution."
- As the name suggests, it clocks in at 16,000,000 SHU.
