Exhibit Label:
With a large warning and imagery of an atomic warhead, Da' Bomb's label conjures ideas of destruction and danger. Clocking in at 119,700 Scoville units (a calculation of how spicy a substance is), this sauce could do some serious damage to the unaware.
Made in Kansas City, Da' Bomb is featured in the popular YouTube series "Hot Ones" where the host, Sean Evans, interviews celebrities while they both eat increasingly spicy chicken wings. Da' Bomb has been the third to the last spiciest hot sauce in the lineup since the second season of the show, which premiered in 2015. Da' Bomb has statistically been the hot sauce that has caused the most celebrity guests to "tap out."
