{{quote|''"I don't believe it... It's not working! This sauce is supposed to be a real gut-burner!"''|'''Eddy''', ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy (Animation)|Ed, Edd n Eddy]]'', just before the effects of his brother's Armenian Secret Hot Sauce kick in.}}

* One ''[[Naruto (Anime)|Naruto]]'' filler-arc featured the Curry of Life.

* In the ''[[Mai-HiME (Anime)|Mai-HiME]]'' Blu-Ray special, Yukino puts some hot sauce onto a hot dog that glows bright yellow and seemingly causes the hot dog to melt before giving it to {{spoiler|Reito, in order to get revenge for the Obsidian Lord's evil deeds}}.

* In the 4Kids dub of ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]'', Usopp's ''Kaen Boshi'' (Flame Star) is called ''Hot Salsa Star''.

* In the ''[[Harry Potter (Literature)|Harry Potter]]'' fic "Happily Ever After," goblin food is so spicy that any humans with the guts to eat it have to take a special protective potion beforehand. Harry suggested starting a restaurant chain that specialized in it and possibly adding on some Muggle franchises, because "...there are lots of Muggles who think pain is a flavour."

* [[Discworld (Literature)|Mustrum Ridcully]] is a fan of Wow-Wow Sauce. It contains [[Gargle Blaster|scumble]], the essence of a particularly pungent vegetable, and two of the primary ingredients in gunpowder, and is occasionally used as a weapon. An illustration in ''Nanny Ogg's Cookbook'' shows Ridcully preparing it wearing metal gauntlets, a padded leather apron and a welding mask, with the sauce bottle behind a cast-iron shield.

*** As mentioned in ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Hogfather|Hogfather]]'', a presumably different uncle used to swear at it (no, not by it, at it) as [[Hideous Hangover Cure|a hangover cure]]. After drinking a whole bottle in one go, "he seemed very peaceful when we came to lay him out."

** The curry Susan tastes in ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Soul Music|Soul Music]]'' causes the ''air'' to explode after she throws it away.

** In ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Unseen Academicals|Unseen Academicals]]'', Pepe knocks back an entire bottle of Wow-Wow while rooting around the Night Kitchen of Unseen University in the background of a scene. He notes, in a strangled tone of voice, that it would probably be good with vodka; the narration points out that by all rights he should no longer have a stomach.

* In ''[[Red Dwarf (TV)|Red Dwarf]]'', Lister has lost his sense of taste through eating lots of hot curry, his [[Trademark Favourite Food]].

* One episode of ''[[Law and Order (TV)|Law and Order]]'' began in a trendy seafood restaurant where it was the custom for every diner to bring his own favorite brand of hot sauce. The victim's hot sauce had been spiked with cyanide.

* ''[[Man V Food]]'' The Spicy Challenges

* ''[[Pokémon (Franchise)|Pokémon]]'': the Spelon Berry; description: "so spicy is the Spelon Berry that, Fire type or not, Pokémon will try to breathe fire after eating a single one."

* The Jalapeño in ''[[Plants vs. Zombies (Video Game)|Plants vs. Zombies]]'' can instantly burn all the zombies in a single lane.

* The curry item in ''[[Super Smash Bros (Video Game)|Super Smash Bros]] Brawl'' makes you spit fireballs that damage your enemies but not yourself. [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|Your character does a dance of pain while it's active, however...]]

* The Dead Pepper, featured in ''[[Final Fantasy IX (Video Game)|Final Fantasy IX]]'' and ''[[Final Fantasy Unlimited]]''. When they were fed to chocobos, it drove them crazy and gave them supercharged abilities.

* In ''[[Tales of Monkey Island (Video Game)|Tales of Monkey Island]]'', there is a chili pepper so hot, you can't touch it with your bare hands without getting burnt. You have to hold it to your tongue for eleven seconds.

* Ms. B's restaurant in ''[[Grrl Power (Webcomic)|Grrl Power]]'' has [http://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/192 a whole wall of them]. Even just opening a bottle results in [http://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/194 this].

* The whole basis of the series ''[[The Cinema Snob (Web Video)|Flaming Brian's Kitchen]]''

* The Diablo Sauce in ''[[Kim Possible (Animation)|Kim Possible]]'', which Ron uses packets of for hand warmers at one point.

* The Merciless Hot Pepper of Quetzalsacatenango, also known as the Guatemalan Insanity Pepper from ''[[The Simpsons (Animation)|The Simpsons]]''. They're "grown deep in the jungle primeval by the inmates of a Guatemalan insane asylum." Homer has to lacquer his mouth and esophagus in order to eat one, and is ''still'' driven temporarily insane by its spiciness.

* The Mexican Death Sauce from the missing ''[[Beavis and Butthead (Animation)|Beavis and Butthead]]'' episode ''"Down Mexico Way"''.

* The "Pure Jalapini Concentrate" Pete tried to use on Goofy in the 5-part opening of ''[[Goof Troop (Animation)|Goof Troop]]''.

* On ''[[Spongebob SquarePants]]'', Sandy threatens SpongeBob with a single drop of hot sauce to the tongue. A drop of hot sauce that talks.

* As very spicy mustard (which features a different chemical than capsaicin to produce its spice) used to be much more common, some older works feature this instead of the modern hot sauce. ''[[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Tom and Jerry]]'' features this in several episodes.

* In ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender (Animation)|Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', Fire Nation fire flakes turn out to be, well, [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|hot]], as Sokka finds out the hard way. [[Big Eater|Doesn't stop him from taking a liking to them, though.]]

* In ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', Pinkie Pie apparently loves this. She likes to put it on ''cupcakes''. Her brand is so hot that, when Twilight Sparkle accidentally drank some, her tail and mane caught on fire.

* The "Honor Thy Ed" episode of ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy (Animation)|Ed, Edd n Eddy]]'' starts with the Eds having set up a taco stand selling "tacos" made of paper plates, grass, and shredded crayons. After Ed, [[Extreme Omnivore]] he is, eats several crayons thinking they are flavors, Edd humors him and takes a bite of one. He is disgusted and needs water, but the closest thing is Eddy's Brother's Armenian Secret Hot Sauce. He guzzles part of it and seems unfazed at first. Ed also consumes some. Eddy thinks the sauce didn't work and also eats some. It's at that moment the effect takes hold, howeever. We see a [[Discretion Shot]] from down the street as a tower of flame erupts from the stand and the Eds sticking their mouths on a sprinkler.

* "Grandpappy's Texas Tin-Horn Sizzlin' Salsa Sauce" in ''[[Xiaolin Showdown (Animation)|Xiaolin Showdown]]''. Two bottles of it turn Dojo, a dragon who can normally only breath soot clouds, into a volcano.

* ''[[Taz Mania]]'': In "Francis Takes a Stand", Francis switches Taz's lemonade recipe with a recipe for a [[Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce]]. Naturally, Francis ends up drinking more of the stuff than Taz does.

* There are several real-life hot "sauces" that aren't actually sauces at all. Many manufacturers whose hot "sauces" skirt the upper limits of the Scoville scale advertise special "pure capsaicin hot sauces" that are [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|actually made of pure capsaicin that has been diluted with water or vegetable oil]]. However, such "sauces" are '''''lethally toxic''''' and thus '''''are not intended for actual human consumption'''''. They are novelty collector's items, not actual food additives, and thus only technically qualify as examples of this trope.

* Mapo Doufu, a Chinese course, which [[That Other Wiki]] describes as "powerfully spicy" (using those exact words). It's popular enough in Japan to show up as the go-to example for hotly spiced food in [[Anime]], [[Manga]] and [[Visual Novel|visual novels]], such as in ''[[Angel Beats (Anime)|Angel Beats]]!'' and ''[[Fate Stay Night (Visual Novel)|Fate Stay Night]]''.
