OK: My wife is notorious for making/preparing nursing home level bland food! No flavor what-so-ever until I get in front of the stove. In any case, I really like "Sriracha" sauce on about everything. Never considered cereal, but will definitely try hot pepper, cayane pepper flakes in the coffee filter tomorrow!

WOAAAAAA fella 
. I grew up on the SE side of Cleveland (MANY years ago) and my ethic brethren would eat things that would curl your ears. Try some fresh grated horseradish root straight from the ground, OR pickle beets with fresh horseradish, and then there were some of the peppers my aunts pickled. I also remember some of the homemade Italian sausage and other ethnic delicacies that would give anything I've ever eaten down here in TX. Cocktail sauce to my uncle was 12 parts tabasco, a teaspoon cayenne, a bunch of horseradish, a squeeze of lemon, and a splat of ketchup and woooooo-cha-cha, then squeeze in a head or two of garlic then top with some Lawries seasoned salt!!!!
Now that said, we always did make fun of you sissy west siders!
Other greats ...... tabasco on pickled herring on a rye toast point (dad's favorite watching the Browns in the 60's)! And almost forgot the little red hot pickled sausages in the jar in every polish bar

My sister the chili-head does shots of sriracha. That is absolutely true. I love the stuff, and Vietnamese chili-garlic paste.

Vanilla ice cream with a very few drops to Tabasco added is surprisingly good. But only do this if you don't have fresh raspberries, because fresh raspberries on vanilla ice cream was the original manna from heaven.

Sriracha and Crystal and Cholula...My "go to" sauces
Being from the Southwest REQUIRES all kinds of hot sauces for all kinds of different things. I probably have more than a dozen different kinds on the shelf right now. That being said there are three that I feel are indispensable. For all things Asian (or not Asian), I love Sriracha. For general use on or in anything I prefer Crystal, a Louisiana style sauce similar to Tabasco. To add a little kick to tacos or burritos, the Cholula sauce is quite good. None of these three sauces are fiery hot, but boy do they have great flavor.

Years ago I used a product that was born here in Louisville, but I can't find it anymore. It was called, believe it or not, Billy Bob's Blazing Trail Hot & Smoky Habanero Sauce. Very fiery, but with a wonderful flavor of smoked habaneros. Loved the stuff. Wonderful in chili or on fried fish, among many other things.
An LGS owner and master gunsmith here used to keep a little bottle of pure capsaicin extract behind the counter. He'd listen for some joker bragging big about his insane tolerance for heat. Then he'd dip just the end of a toothpick in the extract, give it to the braggart to try, and watch him collapse to his knees, fighting for breath.

It depends.
Here, Giant Eagle seems to carry decent hot sauce purely on the whim of the individual store. Most of them don't anymore, but a few still carry Dave's Insanity Sauce.
I got my bottle of Dave's Insanity Ghost Pepper at the West Side Market. $20 and worth the money.

Some things like religion and politics can be dicey to discuss with general audiences. I put hot sauce and salsa in that category, at least with those of a northern persuasion. Most Texans can discuss the two, and hot peppers, rationally.
Thanks for the tip. I just ordered some of Daves Temporary Insanity sauce from Amazon. I'll go hotter in degrees! Yeah, I'm a hot sauce wuss.

Since we're posting pics of hot sauce now, I thought I might show what's currently inhabiting my fridge. First, some condiments:
I didn't include jalapenos & mixes because I felt that they were granted. Now some sauces:
Those unlabeled bottles on the end of the line up? Those are the ones you want to be REAL careful with.
Shoulda, you mentioned pure capsaicin? I got hold of that once;actually, it was the other way around! I think it took me about a week to stop hiccuping.

A couple of weeks ago I made some salsa with jalapeno's, tomatoes, onions and some extra habanero hot sause thrown in to boot. I chopped and mixed all the ingredients well with my hands which I lightly rinsed off afterwards.
I then jumped into my running shorts and "arranged myself" for a run to build up an appetite before the big meal. About a half mile from the house "things started heating up" in the shorts.
I can definitely tell you that there are some things that you shouldn't put hot sauce on. (Especially on a hot humid summer day!)

I learned a long time ago that if you're going to be handling habaneros you should use latex gloves & be sure not to touch ANYTHING till you take them off. What you mentioned is painful, & so is forgetting & rubbing your eyes. Ask me how I know!
