Yesterday I finally got around to having the DHC Reaper slider (along with an Extra Hot).
When I was ordering I was talking to the guy mentioning that people say their experiences can be inconsistent between different stores and between visits to the same stores.
He assured me that they do their best to be consistent and don't hold back on the spice they apply. He mentioned one person ordering the Reaper, taking one bite, throwing the rest out, and leaving because it was too much.
I brought both sandwiches home and took one bite of the Extra Hot; it had a good taste and wasn't all that hot.
Moved on to the Reaper slider and while it was hot it wasn't overwhelming and I found it also had a good taste to it; finished that one minus some of the bread.
Layed down for bed later that night and I could feel my stomach start to get a little sour (nothing terrible) but that lasted less than 10 minutes and then went away.
The biggest issue I typcally have with spicy food is the intestinal (or whatever) discomfort the following morning but this morning I woke up and not a single issue. It was like I hadn't had anything spicy at all.
That was completely unexpected but hey, I'll take it.
It had good heat to it and I could actually taste everything and I enjoyed it but it is definitely not the hottest thing I've eaten. It's a shame Hattie B's is so far away because I'd like to try that to compare.

How was your morning shit?
I tried Dave’s last weekend and was really disappointed. I got the extra hot and there was no spice to it. Was just super salty with a hint paprika.
I’ll preface this by saying I put reaper powder on *everything*. I’m literally eating a sandwich right now with some on it. Wicked Reaper, on Amazon.
That said, the first time I ordered one, it wasn’t that hot. It was definitely hot enough to destroy someone who doesn’t like hot food, but it was easily tolerable for me.
The *second* time I had one, it was absolutely covered in reaper powder, and it truly smoked me. I couldn’t finish it.
If OP doesn’t have the internal organs of a 20-something I’ll eat my hat
The worst part of that chain is the inconsistency. You never know what you’re going to get.
