Hot sauce challenges are popular activities where participants taste increasingly spicy sauces, often starting with mild options and progressing to extremely hot ones. These challenges can be found in various settings, such as social gatherings, online videos, or competitive events. The goal is to test one's tolerance for heat while providing entertainment for both participants and spectators. Many hot sauce challenges feature sauces made from chili peppers like habaneros or ghost peppers, known for their intense heat levels. Participants may experience a range of sensations, from mild warmth to intense burning, and often share their reactions on social media platforms.
