Hot Ice Cream Comes With a Warning

This ice cream comes with an unusual stipulation _ customers must sign a waiver before tasting it because it's so hot.

Cold Sweat, a flavor sold at ice cream shop Sunni Sky's, is made with three kinds of pepper and two kinds of hot sauce.

"It tastes like fire _ with a side of fire," said Scott McCallum, a regular customer, who was eating the more sedate butter pecan flavor.

"I thought it was a cool idea, but I didn't think he'd make it that hot," McCallum said of proprietor Scott Wilson.

Wilson started out experimenting with jalapenos in vanilla ice cream to appeal to Hispanic customers _ which was unsuccessful _ and worked his way up to Cold Sweat.

The waiver for the fiery mixture has dozens of signatures. Pregnant women and people with health problems are not supposed to eat it. Anyone younger than 18 needs the consent of a guardian.

Among the first to try Cold Sweat was Justin Smith, 22, an Angier woodworker. He went to the restroom and vomited after a spoonful.

Because that's an idiotic stereotype.
Even though I like spicy things...

to the whole thing.

Back where I come from we call that a "gimmick".

This reminds me of an Archie cartoon I read once where Pops was experimenting new ice cream flavours on Jughead. He had this like-o-meter or something and one flavour made the rating machine go past the highest rating.

Pops didn't consider that this was from Jugheads psyche..

The flavour was hamburger.

I've never understood the draw of hot stuff. This is a very odd combination...

I can't handle hot foods...the mild sauce at Taco Bell is about as wild as I get. I'd probably feel close to dying if I ate that.

Dumb idea for sure!

I'm having Ben and Jerry's Chocolate tonight, cold

It actually sounds good, I had something like that in the Caribbean....I don't think I'd like it THAT hot though

spicy stuff

 

[SunBloc]

No wonder it was unsuccessful. Who would order a flavor called
"Cold Sweat" ? Sounds like an episode of Fear Factor.

 

[Dismantled]

sweat ...sweat and brains

you all are just wimps, I totally want some ice cream that makes me run to the bathroom to throw up after a spoonful
