* The short animated film ''Ghiblies'' features [[Studio Ghibli]] employees going to a restaurant after work and vying to see who can eat the spiciest plate of curry. It ends with one of them blasting off like a rocket.
* Done as a one-off gag in the second season of ''[[Vandread]]''. Some of the girls (notably [[Love Interest|Dita]] and the new girl Misty) found out that the easiest way of <s>seducing</s> winning Hibiki's love is [[Through His Stomach]]. Enter Jura who is legitimately trying to seduce Hibiki as well but is not a cook, so she asks [[Bi the Way|her girlfriend]], Barnette, to do the cooking for her. Barnette isn't happy about this, of course, so she spikes the food with super-hot sauce. Enter [[Butt Monkey|Bart]], hoping to find out what makes their food so very special. By the end of the episode, Bart had sworn to eat only nutrition pills from then on.
* A gag [[Yonkoma]] from the 100th chapter of ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'' featured Hiruma going into a specialty cooking store. Sena and Monta initially think they've discovered Hiruma is secretly into cooking... until they learn all he bought was dozens of bottles of super-spicy hot sauce, presumably for some scheme of his.

* A throwaway passage in [[Neal Stephenson]]'s ''[[The Diamond Age]]'' mentions a bottle of sandwich sauce containing "imported habanero peppers", "butts of clove cigarettes", "uranium mill tailings", "nitrates, nitrites, nitrotes and nitrutes, nutrites, natrotes..." and a [[Long List]] of similar items.
* Hotroot pepper in the ''[[Redwall]]'' books. Best guess is that "hotroot" is the local term for a type of horseradish. The otters love the stuff, especially in "shrimp'n'hotroot soup", and hold contests to see how much they can use at once.

* One Swedish Chef sketch on ''[[The Muppet Show]]'' has him making super-hot chili. At first, smoke comes out of his ears, but then, after he makes it even spicier, the top of his head blows off.
* The Observers in ''[[Fringe]]'' apparently have very little sense of taste. In one episode, an Observer has a rare roast beef sandwich covered in jalapeños, an entire shaker of pepper and most of a bottle of Tabasco sauce. In season 2, we see that Observers like to meet in an Indian restaurant and chow down on Naga Jolokia peppers.

* In a ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' sketch, a diner at a restaurant orders the "super hot" wings. The server tries to dissuade him, then brings a plate of wings, which the customer notes aren't that spicy at all. The server confesses that they're just the "mild" wings. The customer, by now annoyed, demands the "super hot," at which point the manager sits down with him, tries again to talk him out of it, and finally has him sign a waiver. As the customer is about to take the first bite, the frame freezes and a voice-over explains that he subsequently ran out of the restaurant shouting "Woo woo," shot up into the sky and exploded. In a final irony, he had in fact been served the "medium hot" recipe.

** Episodes have featured Phaal, the spiciest curry in the world, chicken wings that put Buffalo to shame, and a burger that has "the four horsemen" of the chilies on it: jalapeños, serrano, habanero, and the ''Bhut Jolokia'' (also called the Naga Jolokia, as below).
*** A Man V. Food Nation episode in Tulsa had a pizza with two times the jalapenos and habeneros and a "death sauce" that mixes in Thai Sriracha hot sauce and the aforementioned ''Naga Bhut Jolokia'' ghost chili peppers.

** This one deserves expanding a bit. When in Mexico, our [[Anti-Hero|Anti Heroes]] decide to try the local cuisine. While waiting, they [[Kick the Dog|torment a dog]] by force-feeding it the bottle of "Killer Hot Sauce" on their table. This pisses off the Mexican cook, who reaches for the "Mexican Death Sauce" (which is in a bottle with smoke coming out of it) and puts it on their tacos. Cue [[Fire-Breathing Diner]].

** You can get very hot mustard as a condiment at your average Chinese take-out restaurant. WARNING: Do NOT eat more than a light glaze of this stuff on your food - unless you have a cold and you ''really'' want to clear out your sinuses.

Guess who decides to eat all of them?
* [[Garfield]] had Grandma's sausage gravy in ''[[A Garfield Christmas]]''. It started out as Mom's normal gravy, but Grandma snuck in and added chili powder while whispering about how her gravy won first prize at the fair three years in a row while Mom's didn't even place. A bit later, Garfield comes in and gets some on his finger, then licks it. Cue the fire breath a second later, and then Garfield going "Perfect!".

* There are innumerable brands of hot sauce out there with names like Torch, Hell's Breath, and the like. Most are the ''same sauce'' - as in made at the same time using the same recipe and by the same manufacturer. This naturally hasn't stopped hot sauce aficionados from getting into huge fights over which is the best.
* 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
** A restaurant in Tallahassee, Florida, was once shut down by the Leon County Health Department on charges of toxic chemical contamination (and the owner cited for Reckless Endangerment) after they began featuring food that had been "spiced up" with one of these additives. This is [[Sincerity Mode|no joke]], folks. These things will '''''kill you''''' if you ingest too much of them.

* 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 ''[[
** Several regions in China are known for having extremely spicy cooking due to a combination of weather conditions, availability of spices, attuned palates and the occasional need to mask less than optimal ingredients. Sichuan cuisine in particular is infamous and a local joke says the people there essentially worry that a dish isn't spicy ''enough'', though the peppers responsible for the heat (and the blood red color of dishes that use lots of it) also have a numbing effect.
