Blair's 16 Million Reserve

A review of Blair's 16 Million Reserve (The world's hottest chili powder)
He added a single grain to some tomato soup:

"After about 5 mintues of boiling, my soup was ready to go. First bite was not that hot, so I had the wife take a bite. She threatened divorce once she could speak again, so I tried it again. Then it was hot!"
