Yeah, but there are hotter peppers and foods available and the jalapeño is an incredibly mild pepper, it’s barely spicy and not a good comparison.
Challenge foods and sauces in general tend to also use pure capsaicin extract to really bring home the heat, but this tends to affect the flavor and make it bitter and unpleasant. Foods shouldn’t be “challenging” you to eat them and then artificially raising the stakes. It’s hard enough to get decently hot foods as it is, having to keep an eye out for companies “cheating” by using the pure extract from the peppers is annoying.
I too hate the extract sauces, they’re just painful without the flavour. As far as I’m aware these crisps don’t use it. The world’s hottest ramen challenge I did was just reaper mash missed into the sauce.
